Translation apps aren't exactly the newest or sexiest thing in the world of technology, but we've got to hand it to AT&T with whipping up a rather impressive demo. The company showed off a next gen version of its AT&T Translator app, which may one day allow people to communicate in real time regardless of their spoken language. The app uses the carrier's new Watson Speech API, in this case via a VoIP call on a pair of iPads, to not only transcribe dialog, but translate it from English to Spanish (and vice-versa) then play it back in the target tongue using a computer generated voice.
