Microsoft develops technology that can translate real-time voice

Microsoft is working hard to develop a technology that allows real-time translation. The remarkable thing is that the translation also can be spoken in the voice of the person who recorded it.



Microsoft has put online the video below which an early demo is given of the new technology. From about 6 minutes into the video shows that the spoken voice is recognized by the system and then translated into Mandarin. So far everything seems still quite normal. But Microsoft has gone one step further by translation be spoken by the computer. The most remarkable here is that the voice of the importer is imitated by the system. The speaker should be above first hour of entering text, but eventually only a few sentences of audio needed to pull this together. The technology is based on Deep Neural Networks, says The Next Web. The technology 'think' like the brains of a man and a man tries to imitate his mistakes and corrects them then. This is the technology currently to 30 percent better than its competitors, and the error rate is so much lower. Microsoft is expected to have a few more years of research and development needed to develop the technology to perfect. Nevertheless, it is already a very impressive technology that already seems to work remarkably well.

Patent Troll has after defeating Apple taste



VirnetX, a company that collects patents to cash out if someone uses them, a second lawsuit against Apple filed. VirnetX recently won a lawsuit against Apple, which Apple $ 368 million to the company to pay.


VirnetX by the U.S. courts in favor of four patents having to do with FaceTime, the app that lets you make video calls between iPhones and other Apple devices. VirnetX appears to have about patents that describe this feature. Yet on the same day that VirnetX won the case, the company has a new lawsuit. Very similar to the first, but now suing devices, including the iPhone 5 and all Apple computers on Mountain Lion OS, the most recent Macs so. The iPad and iPad 4 Mini are also involved in the new claim. 

VirnetX Apple wants a sales ban on all these devices is imposed because of the violated patents. It seems unlikely that the court will agree with this. Apple has already announced an appeal against the first judgment, because the company - which is itself just a rectangle with rounded shapes has patented - is that the four patents need to be assessed for their validity. VirnetX is in favor by the choice of the court. 

The case was filed in Texas, where companies with patent violations screens very often proved right. Obviously VirnetX not really a sales ban on Apple products, but even more money, and it seems that the case behind the scenes by both parties will be suitable.
