This is amazing. An app for phones that automatically translates foreign language images in real time...Watch the vid here.
Thanks for the perspective! Engineer, not linguist, but I’ve seen the progression of merely speech recognition (then of letters) from ca 1980 (really poor, more focus was needed on recognizing the word “backspace”) until now. It’s got a long way to go.
Great points.
Certainly there was an exaltation of man at the Tower of Babel . . .
as well as . . . evidently . . . a kind of exalting in at least architectural splendor . . .
and . . . some have speculated . . . that God has a thing against towers . . . that strike Him as penis symbols glorifying male virility, sexual conquest, perverseness of every kind etc. . . . one is reminded with such conjectures of ‘gardens’ in India with lots of tall as humans poles carved as oversized penises the height and thickness of the size of a 6’ man’s whole body or taller.
In any case, God wanted to put a quick stop to the whole enterprise and the whole rapid development of science and technology that it seemed to represent.
There is certainly a plausible tie-in with the fallen angels who were in part, condemned for giving mankind war-making technologies.
Certainly they are at it again with the UFO technologies firmly in control of the globalist oligarchy’s black ops folks.
And, in light of that Scripture about nothing will be too much for them to achieve . . . the retiring head of Lockheed Skunk Works’ retirment speech where he said—IF YOU CAN IMAGINE IT, WE CAN ALREADY DO IT.
Interesting times, for sure.
BTW, I had another gleaning thread with about 6+ articles etc. abuilding . . . and closed the wrong window. When will I learn to compose those in WORD! Sheesh. I may get back to it tonight and I may not. Some interesting stuff out there.
There are some audio dictation/translation apps that do the processing off the phone. But this says it doesn't need an internet connection to work, so it must be on phone.
I just installed it. Gotta find something in Spanish.
OMG - that’s wonderful. Thanks for posting...
Interesting if they achieve that. Could be a boon to me if they get to German and Italian, for Androids.
thanks, bfl
>>As a language nut...I find this kind of creepy!<<
Don’t worry. It’s like babelfish. Sometimes the translation makes odd sense, but at least you can interpret it to “common” english. Look at the one at 44 seconds in: “Tongue Bolivian with a sauce spicy of anchovies”. The spanish means nothing to me, but the translation, I would guess, means “Bolivian beef tongue in a spicy anchovy sauce”.
>>was that unless the lanugages were confused, mankind would be rather unlimited in what he discovered.<<
I believe that given another 50-80 years, mankind will learn most of what there is to know about how everything works and will be able to manipulate reality with what we would call today “godlike” powers.
If the Lord waits.

Check these two “did you know” videos. There is a gem in the first one.

Also known as “Shift happens”.
Thanks for sharing your insights, dear FARS!
Thanks swordmaker and FARS.
i downloaded this today. Simply AWESOME!
But “progress” goes in baby steps.
I’ll take it.

Ping for later
“As a guess (from experience as a new Android phone user) this is NOT being done on the phone.”
That was my next thought...but it’s going to take serious mainframe/cluster firepower AND communication bandwidth to:
1. OCR a still (and determine it’s language-but OTS software from Xerox can do this)
2. Translate it (translate.google.com does a credible job, and it can also do language determination)
3. scale and superimpose the translation
4. get each next frame, move/scale/superimpose the translation in near-real time
INDEED.
THX.
He won’t.
Whether one takes 1948 and the founding of Israel
or 1967 with the retaking of Jerusalem . . .
I think the generation . . . even at 125 years . . . that started to see such things come to pass . . . welll . . . 50 years would be stretching it certainly for 1948.
And,
perhaps more crucial . . .
there are a LOT of globalist satanic world government, mark of the beast, famine, signs in the heavens and other Bible prophecy related trend lines . . . that will peak well before then, imho.
But there is the Retired Head of Lockheed Skunk Works statement several years ago . . .
IF YOU CAN IMAGINE IT, WE CAN ALREADY DO IT.
THX.
Will check them out, Lord willin and the Creek don’t rise up.
