Notice: This PoC Project is Outdated and haven’t been updated for a long time.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Today, I am happy to introduce you, my beloved readers, to one of my new projects, a universal Language Translator voice\/text-messaging chat system. It’s still in barely a prototype implementation. But I hope you can experience the idea I am trying to achieve here. Though I have several more works to do in the coming days, I will request you to check this and let me know what you think if something can be done better. Which will be super helpful for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Background:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I live in Montreal, Quebec, where French is the official\/major spoken language. Very often, I encounter people who only speak French (no English). I also tried to learn French (I know a few words\/sentences \ud83d\ude00 ), but it seems difficult to achieve in a short time with my tight schedule (besides study and work). I just wish there were a convenient way to talk to people speaking different languages, at least on mobile\/remote communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few days ago, I participated in a virtual hackathon arranged by koding.com<\/a>. There were a couple of themes, and I selected the one I felt I was most interested in\u2014guess what? ‘Challenges associated with real-time communication and translation. And there,<\/span> the journey of this app starts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a final exam just 2\/3 days after the hackathon, so it was a tough decision to make whether to participate in the competition or not. But I decided to participate finally.(The exam wasn’t bad too \ud83d\ude42 )<\/p>\n\n\n

A Very Brief Overview Of this Universal Language Translator:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ULTraChat is a web-based real-time communication system, which allows you to communicate with people, who don’t speak\/understand your language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can text chat with anyone in the group chat room, all theirs message will be shown in your own preferred language and yours to them as their preferred language. If multiple persons message you in different languages, you will see all of them in your native(which you can select from top left select box) language! The translation service are served by Yandex API, which supports a wide area of languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also communicate to other people(speaking different language) via voice as well. This is available in private chat system only. You can speak your own language, that will be recognized and played to your chat partner as robotic voice in his preferred language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
