Just came across this video via Crunchgear.com..
It shows the Toshiba voice translation software in action. Does it come with the Toshiba TG01 ?
That is crazy, I'd love to get my hands on a copy of that!
True translation would take quite a bit of AI to work usefully. For example, try playing with any of the online translators for a while to see how far we have to go.
The translated voice seems really fake to me. I doesn't even sound like it came from the phone. Sort of like it was overdubbed onto the video.
not quite fake.

Hi ronski,
Is this a freeware or a trialware? If it's a freeware can you upload here?
Thanks
Nice, but the program is 3 years old. It recognizes only specific, categorized phrases and displays the translation in Japanese, German, etc.
Some, more refined versions of this technology include Pocket Translator.

Hi Folks,
its been an awesome time for me and my german o2 tornado (xda phone) since the wm6 rom releases.
seriously, didnt expact that few bugs and problems
but i've got 2 questions that, if answered, would make the roms (almost) perfect for me:
1. any chage to change the language of voice command?
Its not a problem for me to say "appointment" or "at work" but the german names are a bit funny to pronounce in english (my brother Tobias is called Toe-be-us for example)
2. live messenger has some really nice gimmicks, for example sending pictures. but against the wm5 version chosing the camera symbol doesnt start the nice new camera software but some kind of camera inside the pictures and videos application. know what i mean? how can i link the camera symbol to the camera.exe?
Had to change from 3 problems to 2 cause i solved one myself (application buttons)
Anyone ideas about the other 2?
Thanxs to anyone who improves the nice little smartphones..

I would love to have voice command in my own language but I am not brave enough to assume microsoft is working on alternative languages right now. It is not like changing the interface language. You must almost start from scratch for each additional language. Still, german may have a chance. did you check the microsoft web page? maybe they have some information there.
Ad 1. I am pretty sure it is not possible. I have to use Polish Vista bundled with my laptop The operating system is localised but the voice command of the OS is not. Exactly the same with opera browser. If desktop operating system do not support other languages natively I would not count on the portable ones.
Perhaps you can help
I downloadd the official rom from HTC for my Tytn. I reinstalled favorite program Microsoft Voice Command 1.6. Everything works perfectly except for the incoming notification CID. I have set VC to announe incoming calls through the speaker. I do not use any Bluetooth headsets. Are there any tweaks or patches available. thanks
How to add the “Voice Edition” item into Contact Menu for voice record?
Microsoft_Voice_Command_US_SP_1.60 seems to work under WM6 (now ROM for tornado dopod Asia WWE ) with my Qtek8310, but I can’t manage to add the “Voice Edition” item into Contact Menu for voice record.
Any idea?
Anyone have the German resources for MS Voice command?

Can you explain this? What does Voice Command have to do with recording? I dont see any use of a Voice Command menu item as it works without any neccessary recording for each contact.
And again: anyone ideas how to change language to recognize german phonemes?
Have to bring my question more on top again.. sorry for pushin another thread on page 2 though..
Is MS Voice Control part of WM6 or still separate program. If so, how did Phil integrate it to his ROM? Can i do the same with a german version?
Any clues? german voice recognition would be so great for me and i guess all the other krauts in here
I just installed MsVoiceCommand FR SP60,
There was an error at the end of the installer.
BUT it works ! Now my WWE WM6 ROM speaks French
Please can you put a link for MsVoiceCommand FR SP60
i would love a link for this FR version too, i'm having a hard time with mine currently
tks
Hi,
I just wondering, is there any software to translate from chinese / japanese language to english using OCR technology ... for Windows Mobile?
I imagine, you take a photo shot of some chinese / japanese characters and then the software recognize it and translate it to english
This product is quite close:
http://www.twinbridge.com/detail.aspx?ID=144
But it is for PC
Hi,
I am also looking for this very hard. But I found nothing useful so far.
To push this on top again... anybody some useful hint?

Hi all after doing a few enquiries about a fantastic language translation software that I heard was available on the iphone I was told that this software is now available on Windows Mobile Pocket Pc's. Its not freeware but at under $10 its well worth it. I first came across this language translation in a book but now you can get it on your pocket Pc and it comes with both written and audible translation. Its from Lonely Planet and you can purchase it from Handmark. Here is the link.

Today I installed the Google Translator 2.4 update (released yesterday 30 May) and... it's ****ing ****!!
I don't like the new UI but that's not the problem, the problem is that the definitions found for any given word searched are MUCH LESS detailed!! And the most important issue is that it seems to no longer works as a dictionary!!!!
Example: (I am Italian) if I search the English word "house" it's translated into the Italian "casa", if I set both the source and destination languages to English it used to give me a detailed definition (in English) of the word "house". No more!!!!
Unless I am doing something wrong Goggle Translator has just gone from one of the best online Translator (the one I used on both my Note and my Galaxy Tab 10.1) to an almost useless piece of crap!!
Waiting for what happens next, I have restored my backed up old version of Google Translator...
Any thoughts anyone?
I cant see any difference...everything is same like before update,exp.UI. Or I don't know what do you mean...
See scrn.
Yeah, except for the holo theme, I can't feel any difference either. Or maybe I just don't use it as a dictionary.
The old version has a setting (which translated from the Italian sounds like "Complete Dictionary") which was not checked, by default. You both probably hadn't that checked (and the new version has not this setting anymore) and I think this is why you are not seeing any differences.
Look what comes up translating from English to English the word "house". Try it on the new version, all you will get is... "house".
