Improved Google interpreter for Android , Is this future of Human Translator ?

Last year when Google Translator for Andriod was launched it had amazing capability like spoken translation, machine translation . It offered voice input to let users speak the word or phrase and instead of typing it in and instantly it got translated. Another was  SMS translation so user could translate SMS messages sent to them in foreign languages.

This month Google has again come up with improved version in order to have user friendly experience for Google and Android users.

You can download the application from
 http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/google-translate_cozz_download.html



Some of the recent update were-

Better dropdown boxes to help select the languages user want to translate from and into , thus user can now select both languages simultaneously.

Improved input box, and cleaner icons and layout.

Another very interesting features is language translation while users are speaking on phone . Thus, user can speak in their language while person on other side will hear the same in their translated language .

 Although this is still in fancy stage & available only English and  Spanish Translation.But seems to be good step for future replacement of Human translator.Let's see its future version and how much it can live upto the expectations.

Google Desktop is desktop search software made by Google for Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows, the program allows text searches of a user's e-mails, computer files, music, photos, chats, Web pages viewed.  Google Desktop makes searching the  computer as you are search web with any key word . It's a application that will provides full text search over users email, files, music, photos, chats, Gmail etc.



By making the computer searchable, Desktop puts the  information easily within one's reach & make your life easy from having to manually organize your files, emails and bookmarks.

Cloud Computing - the future for 2011 onwards !!

Its believed and predicted that companies would churn out more than 2010 spending in 2011 when it comes to moving on to cloud .Its assumed that Technology companies are likely to spend more in 2011 in a race to harness surging demand for cloud computing and security services.



One of the biggest research and analyst company Gartner is projecting a $130+ billion cloud computing world market by 2013. The same goes with other prediction also and rational behind it comes from the fact that organization have piled up lot of cash during recession time and now is time to pay back by ensuring that companies top brass will be in line with cost cutting measures through cloud computing environment. On interesting news is that Intel Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co. and International Business Machines Corp. led purchases of more than 2,700 companies and still spent only a fraction of the cash piles they accumulated during the recession. and thus they are ready for cloud entrance big way .

lets us keep our fingers crossed and check its reality in 2011 , till then Happy New Year.
