Google Glass can display subtitles in real time

Google Glass can display subtitles in real time

Scientists have created an application for Google Glass on Glass Captioning , which displays before me that says one caller. Designed for the hearing impaired, it could be used to translate live.

Among the applications for Google Glass, it is dedicated to those whose ears became lazy.  It only works for now only in English and in a situation of two-party.  © Google

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed an idea of applying for ingenious glasses connected to Google suitable for those with hearing problems: it subtitle conversations simultaneously. This project could not only help the hearing impaired, but also those who are trying to have a conversation in a noisy place or any viewer having trouble understanding the actors mumble in a movie.

The free application, called Captioning on Glass , relies on voice recognition included in Android phones, while eliminating one of the biggest flaws of Google Glass , namely the poor quality of its built-in microphone arms of glasses. The tool, in effect, transforms the smartphone user in sound receiver. The principle has two advantages: better microphone and in that it can be placed closer to the person who is speaking.
