This might sound like thaumaturgy , but Google Translate is already pretty well show ( if not always completely accurate ) . It makes signified , therefore , that Google go for this engineering science on the fly to audio – although that might not be medicine to the ears of some start - ups promise similar engineering science .
Compared to its other grownup reveals , Google was pretty nonchalant about this one . But it could be unbelievable . Imagine being able to go to any country and talk their language . Not bad .
Google is not the first to pop the question this engineering . Skype and a start - up calledPilotboth swash speech version .
