The earpiece that promises to translate languages in SECONDS: £140 device will be available next month

The earpiece is designed by Lingmo International, a technology start-up based in West Gosford, and unveiled last week at the United Nations Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Good Summit in Geneva.


A technology firm has launched a new earpiece called One2One which translates spoken conversations within seconds

When travelling abroad, it can be difficult to communicate with those who don't speak the same language as you.

But thankfully, the days of having to quickly flick through your translation dictionary could soon be a thing of the past.

A technology firm has launched a new earpiece called One2One which translates spoken conversations within seconds.

The incredible earpiece, which is powered by IBM Watson's artificial intelligence system, will hit global markets next month.

The device supports translations across eight languages – English, Japanese, French, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, German and Chinese.

And unlike most translation devices, the One2One does not rely on either Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity, which can often slow down the translation process.

Instead, it uses IBM Watson's Natural Language Understanding and Language Translator APIs, which intuitively overcomes many of the contextual challenges associated with common languages, as well as understanding the nuances of local dialects.

For example, in Spanish, 'LL' could be pronounced 'y', 'j' or 'sh', depending on the dialect.
This allows it to translate what you're saying, almost in real-time.
