"Tower of Babel" translator in the works...
A "Tower of Babel" device that gives the illusion of being bilingual is being developed by US scientists.
Users simply have to silently mouth a word in their own language for it to be translated and read out in another.
.....
Electrodes are attached to the neck and face to detect the movements that occur as the person silently mouths words and phrases.
Using this data, a computer can work out the sounds being formed and then build these sounds up into words.
The system is then able to translate the words into another language which is read out by a synthetic voice.
