The Google Thing Translator website enables users to translate real-world objects from one language to another using the camera on their phone. Moreover, users are able to exchange and preserve translations. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

Wherever the cutting edge of technology is, Google is not lagging far behind. Alternatively, they've extracted the enormous Google wallet from the unfathomably deep Google pockets, and are cutting a check to stay ahead of their competitors. Artificial intelligence is no different. Google has several AI experiments Google's AI Breakthrough: What It Means & How It Affects You Google's AI Breakthrough: What It Means & How It Affects You Read More that you can go and play with right now. And because several of these experiments depend on machine learning, your direct interaction will actually help development.

Google does a lot of cool stuff, and it makes a lot of its cool stuff available online for anyone to use, and modify. Back in November of 2016, Google launched a website dedicated to all the cool things that people were doing with AI, and machine learning. There are some really great projects on the website, and in this article, I will tell you about 5 of the coolest AI Experiments that you should definitely try. Thing Translator is quite simply the most useful AI Experiment hosted on the website. What this experiment does, is when you take a picture with the Thing Translator, it tells you what it sees, as well as a translation in a different language.

Google just made a major upgrade to its Translate app. The company is now using a new technology called neural machine translation -- which aims to make computer-generated translations more similar to those done by humans -- to power its translations in seven new languages. Google says the update should make translations in those languages much more accurate and easier to understand. The company previously rolled out this technology for Chinese to English translations in September. Now, Google is using the same technology to power translations to and from English in French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Turkish.
