NEC Develops Cell Phone That Translates Japanese On The Fly

Japanese electronics giant NEC has created a world-first real-time translator on a mobile phone, which can instantly turn Japanese travellers' words into English. When a traveler speaks Japanese into the cellphone, it displays the recognized words and then attempt to translate it into English, which is then displayed on the screen.

The translator uses voice-recognition software and is able to translate about 50,000 Japanese words into English. Right now it only works from Japanese to English, and is intended to assist traveling Japanese.
