Shakr Introduces Arabic/English Translator for BlackBerry
A translator that lets English and Arabic speakers communicate in real-time, there’s an app for that — but not on the iPhone.
Sakhr’s Mobile Speech to Speech Arabic Translator for BlackBerry allows users to speak in either language and then view or play the translation aloud. The app is available now and Sakhr already counts the U.S. Department of Defense among its customers, says Phone Magazine.
According to BlackBerry Cool, the application uses a Sakhr-developed technology called natural language processing. As the company’s technology improves, it has the potential to break down language barriers in a mobile device.
