Baidu is developing a universal translator

The universal translator from science fiction universe of Star Trek may soon become a reality. The developers of Baidu, the Chinese search giant, has begun to develop a device that can facilitate the life of travelers to Asia and the places where they speak English. The principle of operation is very similar to the way it works is similar to the device used by the characters of the TV series “Star trek”.
 
Yes, universal translators, a smartphone app have similar functions, but the gadget from Baidu will not put in the battery and is always ready to work, whereas the program on your phone will need to periodically run. In addition, the translator from Baidu will be able to distribute Wi-Fi will be equipped with the ability to connect to the Internet. Designated translator also does not take a lot, and will weigh only about 150 grams.
 
Baidu is planning to sell not only translators, but also to give the users of hire — a reasonable suggestion for those who came to China on a business trip, but the language does not know. Sale and rental of devices will start first in China, but later Baidu is going to conquer the Japanese market. The number of languages supported is still unknown, as well as price. About the appearance of the interpreter in the sale Baidu announced.
 
The TV series “Star Trek” can largely be called prophetic — technologies and gadgets that first appeared in it, over time, migrate from TV screens to real life.
