Not sure why anyone would have a problem with front page on this - anybody else have a device you can speak into and have it translate to another language? That you got for $99?

That being said... of course it'd be cooler if it was in more languages, etc - but the concept is frickin awesome.

Well you didn't get for $99 because your paying for the contract too.

i think its crazy accurate i never seen anything do it like this. i wish many more languages get included. i come across many different nationalities and interact with so many people i would love to be able to pick up a few phrases. I would love to see russian and german also. But PF you said it perfect show me another device that can do this. thats why its front page. open your minds people its a bigger world than you think. if you leave the country you will see the usefulness to this but of course in other languages also.

Anyway, this is a great story because it really differentiates the iPhone from the other smartphones out there. Nice find sayam. I just wish that they had a general idea for pricing on this.

I think this is a great app. I also would like to see it get more languages. But this is a step for it. It would help with people traveling or just wanting to talk to someone who is local from a different country. We have someone at my work that speaks Arabic and at some points he has a tough time finding the right word for what he wants to say. I can understand him for most of it. Coming to a new country or visiting one people generally find it frustrating to try to figure out the right word that you want to say.

It's on the front page because it's the first of it's kind. If it was English to Spanish real-time translation, would you be questioning why it's on the front page, or are you doing so only because it's Arabic?

Anyways, this seems shady to me, as the Arabic is so fluent, it sounds like a recording of a man that it's playing back; whereas the English sounds like the generic robot voice.

He's not talking about iPhone 3G but a speech translating device, which he might have got for $99 . . .

many a times, am unable to find a right english word as well though am not arabic

[thetoothfairy]

Geesh people this is a cool app! Would be cool to see it in all languages but maybe in time it will be... it does a great job translating now... they might just add more languages later....

Nice article keep up the good work Sayam! Also just because I am a mod even if I was not the front page is a good place for it because there is no other app that I am aware of that can do this! )

[TheNosyt]

really? arabic? of all languages? aribic.... speechless.

[keda51]

The preciseness of translation is incredible!

Hopefully they branch out to different languages also.

For traveling this app will be invaluable. You'd be surprised how many countries have large populations that speak Arabic.

as native arabic ill speak english to prevent being rude . take it easy

[hat_15]

...or at the amusement park, or at the grocery store, or anywhere else. I just thought it'd be nice to know what the person next to you is saying. My parents come from Laos and I barely speak their language so this would be nice.
