Impressively Accurate Translators

The Westin AI Cloud Translator Uses Four Engines for Translation

— June 8, 2018 — Tech
Translation tech tools are becoming more integrated into society but the Westin AI Cloud Translator IT040 stands out from the pack thanks to superior accuracy when translating languages. Unlike the Google Pixel Buds, which translate in real-time, the AI Cloud Translator is designed a little more old school. Users simply need to press a button, speak into the device then show the translated text to another person.

The operation may be fairly basic but the actual operation of the AI Cloud Translator is incredibly impressive. The device currently uses four different engines to translate 32 languages. These engines include Microsoft, Google, Baidu and Iflytek (a Chinese speech recognition firm). The AI then picks out the best translation and offers that as the primary message.
