Could Google provide you with the perfect alibi to skip French or Spanish language class next time? That might certainly be the case in a few years’ time, as the search engine giant is busy working on speech-to-speech translation. So when everything is setup honky dory, you’ll probably be able to verbally chat with your friend over the phone, despite the both of you using different languages. Of course, the technology has its challenges, such as everyone having a different voice, accent and pitch, but if the technology is integrated into mobile phones, it might be more effective, due to the devices being more personal to you, and as a result is able to learn more about your habits.
