Having two TTF meetings in August 2013
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh Aug. 4, 2013

Aug. 4, 2013

Dear All, The next monthly TTF call is formally August 19 2013. However, a review of our workload, namely - review of webconferencing technologies. We've focused and continue to use LUCID, but two other solutions have been proposed for consideration by At-Large (Bluejeans Network, readytalk) https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Web+Conferencing. - The ideas for improving the organisation of At-Large content project https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Ideas+for+improving+the+organis… - updating the At-Large Social Media Strategy. So far, information from ALAC-Announce mailing list is disseminated via social media channels. However, the challenge is integrating other content (e.g videos, capacity building content) - updating the TTF Workspace a singe TTF call would not be enough. I therefore am suggesting a TTF call next week, August 5 2013 (or at the least during the week of August 5-9), in additional to the August 19 2013 call. We could then attempt to schedule web conferencing trials of the other solutions during the week of August 12-16 and/or the week of August 26-30 Thoughts? Dev Anand TTF chair

Fwd: [IP] Google prototyping real-time translation technology with 'near perfect' results

FYI -- future tools in At-Large? Kind regards, Olivier -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [IP] Google prototyping real-time translation technology with 'near perfect' results Date: Fri, 26 Jul 2013 17:49:26 -0400 From: David Farber <farber(a)gmail.com> Reply-To: dave(a)farber.net To: ip <ip(a)listbox.com> For the record many years ago (over 10) one of the research aims of Japanese Comm Labs was a translating telephone. Japanese to English etc. djf Begin forwarded message: From: Dewayne Hendricks <dewayne(a)warpspeed.com> Subject: [Dewayne-Net] Google prototyping real-time translation technology with 'near perfect' results Date: July 26, 2013 5:02:44 PM EDT To: Multiple recipients of Dewayne-Net <dewayne-net(a)warpspeed.com> Reply-To: dewayne-net(a)warpspeed.com Google prototyping real-time translation technology with 'near perfect' results By Chris Welch July 26 2013 <http://www.theverge.com/2013/7/26/4560808/google-prototyping-real-time-tran…> Google is currently prototyping a real-time translation technology that could revolutionize the way people communicate when abroad. Android VP Hugo Barra offered some details on the initiative — which exceeds the scope of Google's current translate services — toThe UK Times. "We've got tons of prototypes of that sort of interaction, and I've played with it every other week to see how much progress we've made," Barra said. Google's Babelfish-like concept could theoretically allow two people who speak different languages to speak into a device and have their words translated with zero delay. Experimentation in this area isn't new for Google. Google Translate for Android already contains a "Conversation" mode that immediately translates back-and-forth discussions between two languages . But accuracy is paramount here, and that's where Google's existing solutions fall a bit short. With the prototypes, Barra says the company is seeing encouraging progress on that front. Google's system has proven "near-perfect for certain language pairs" according to the executive, who cited conversion between English and Portuguese as one such example. Just don't expect to see it in the next Nexus device: Barra says Google remains in the "early stages" of exploring such technology — a position other high-ups have shared for years now.

Looks very interesting and I suspect all TTF members would be interested in joining
