Subject: ADC Entry: BabelFish
hello,

we had just submitted our application BabelFish. here is a video
although not much readable due to scaling: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhmaNue5Ey4

and from the submitted document what BabelFish is:

BabelFish is a translated voice and text IM (Instant Messaging)
service. It enables translated conversations among two or more
parties. Each partner writes messages in his own language and his/her
message is instantly translated and delivered other partners in their
languages. Optionally delivered messages are synthesized into speech
and played at destination handsets.

We also aimed to use Android's speech recognition API to allow
partners speak their messages instead of writing and hence mimic a
real BabelFish's behavior but unfortunately Android speech recognition
API wasn't ready at the time of writing.

cheers and wish you all good luck ;)

WOW!  Great idea. I don't have the time to look at it in detail now
(having problems getting my own submissions made) but I will. I expect
it will be as good as it sounds.

Again, great idea, and good luck.

Instant translator. Not bad! I can imagine people using it. Once we
have true multilingual support, you can set it to auto recognize the
language.

People don't need to talk to each other, just find each other.

thank you. i think the same. the question is how a very useful
application cannot be indispensable. it's a strange world !

no. altavista has a translation service called BabelFish, but our
application is not in any way related to it.

all 4 judges ? very unlikely.

see the first message. in second paragraph the word BabelFish is
linked to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babelfish

We also aimed to use Android's speech recognition API to allow
partners speak their messages instead of writing and hence mimic a
real BabelFish's behavior but unfortunately Android speech recognition
API wasn't ready at the time of writing.
