Bragi unveils real-world Babel fish earbuds

It may sound like the fictional fish used to translate languages in'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', but a German startup has brought the Babel fish to life with earbuds. Called Dash Pro tailored by Starkey, these high-tech earbuds are capable of integrating with the iTranslate app, providing face-to-face conversational language translation in nearly 40 different languages. While wearing the custom earbuds, users simply activate the app and carry on a conversation that will be translated into their native tongue in real-time. Bragi has unveiled two new products to the family – The Dash Pro tailored by Starkey and The Dash Pro, which is a'reengineered sequel to The Dash that continues to press innovation forward,' the firm explained. The Dash Pro tailored by Starkey integrates with the iTranslate app, which will translate the conversations into the wearer's native tongue.
