Microsoft Research Demos Their Translating Telephone Project

There are many translating devices and services that primarily take written text in a chat window, and attempt to translate it into different languages. For example, one I use is VoxOx. What if there was a way to have a near-real-time phone conversation, while the whole thing was being transcribed and translated? Microsoft Research is working on such a project, and they showed TechFlash a demo of it. Now, of course it isn’t perfect, but it is very close.
Will this be included as part of Project Natal? Hmmmm…
You can also test out the back-end (Bing) translation piece here.
