Skype today started the first phase of the Skype Translator preview. The program kicks off with two spoken languages, Spanish and English, plus over 40 instant messaging languages, available to Skype customers who have signed-up via the Skype Translator sign-up page.
Microsoft says Skype Translator is a great example of the company’s investment in research. In this case, a decade of dedicating resources to the advancement of speech recognition, automatic translation, and machine learning technologies are finally coming together.
