Real-time translation is the type of technology that has practical implementations. I could care less about finding designers on LinkedIn via a voice command. But if I am stuck somewhere in another country and unsure where to go or how to communicate, I guarantee I will be happy to have that translation service available.

Here is an idea for a service: You lease the translation service for the term of your trip for a dollar a day. You can lease on demand for 24 hours for 5 dollars.

FYI "I could care less" is probably not what you meant.

It's "couldn't care less" [1].

"I could care less" is an idiom, it means the same thing as "I couldn't care less". (This may seem somewhat odd, but it's perfectly natural once you know it started out as sarcastic.)

Yes, it is something I have to consciously correct and I was doing too many things at once. I appreciate the correction.

Google already has this for consumers for free. Voice, text, and OCR on images.

So does Microsoft. Microsoft Translator: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-translator/id10189...

I find that MS's translation tends to work slightly better... though Google is imho better in voice recognition. However, I really want to see all IVR systems burn in hell.
