A few weeks ago, NPR reported on the language barrier that is slowly creeping into the Internet and the technology being implemented to ward off any divisive factions to the world wide web.
As TIME Magazine reported this week, Google Goggles Translate is trying to bridge that gap by allowing a smartphone user the ability to translate real world text in a matter of seconds simply by taking a picture of the text itself.
We here at DotLoop are fascinated by the idea, if only because it allows for greater communication, a cornerstone of our negotiations platform. While you won't find any Albanian words on our site, we do allow for clients and agents to review one document and its entire history of changes with ease, lessening the questions inherent in an analog negotiation (who agreed to what, when?).
Check out the video below to see how the new Google App works. For those of you going abroad on vacation, maybe it will assist you in pointing you to the right water closet (translation: bathroom).
