iTranslate Voice translator Siri style

The large guest who presented us with the Apple iPhone 4S was Siri. We all know, but came with two drawbacks: the first was the exclusivity for the iPhone 4S and the second which did not include Castilian as a language. To solve the first and teach you some possibilities as Sara or Spire . To solve the second I also proposed some alternatives . But what today we bring, not a replacement of the wizard, iTranslate Voice, is a translator that simulates the experience of Siri . It feels so good, that if Apple would include this feature, at least it should work.
This time, the guys from Sonic GmbH , make use of two pillars to mimic the experience of the wizard. The technology provided by Nuance for speech recognition (the same technology used by Siri), and a very accomplished mimicry of the interface that Apple introduced us.
The translation engine is including himself and with Nuance technology can translate up to 31 languages. So that, for example, we speak Spanish and give us the answer with voice and written English. It also has other interesting options such as sharing of translations and use the virtual keyboard to enter new text or edit the existing one. In my personal experience, fluency and speed are exceptional and accuracy of translation is high. The only drawback is that phone connection required for its operation, which limits its use outside of our country.
Finally, knowing how jealous they are in Cupertino, hope you do not feel bad the inspiration of developers in Siri. Especially, considering that the WWDC 2012 is just around the corner and could see a preview of iPhone OS 6, with improvements like this to the wizard. Meanwhile, iTranslate Voice is the second application payment from iPhone 3G is compatible with iPhone OS 4.3 onwards and has a discounted price of 0.79 € to celebrate its launch.
