Assistant Translation Services by Baidu

One business use of assistants is language translation.    While translation today is very good, its still not contextually perfect.  But then neither are people.  So whats the risk of misunderstandings?  Baidu just announced such a service.   Can an element of risk transparency be provided?

Baidu announces simultaneous translation service for business users   By Mike Wheatley in Siliconangle.

Baidu Inc. today announced the availability in beta test of a new “speech-to-speech simultaneous translation service” designed to facilitate communication at business events.

The Chinese technology giant said the service can provide highly accurate, real-time translation of speaker presentations at events in both audio and text.

The way it works is interesting, too, as the translations are delivered directly to people’s personal devices. Users simply download the Baidu translation app, scan a QR code for the specific conference they’re attending, and the translations will be streamed directly to their device.  .... "
