CES 2016: Wearable translator




New wearable translator aims to smash language barriers.  (USA Today, 1/7/2016)
What we need is something better. We need a translator that uses voice, not text, because text requires both literacy and a familiarity with mobile tech. And we need a translator that focuses on a small set of languages to maximize comprehension. 
Luckily, that's exactly what the Ili—launched this week at CES 2016—claims to do. It's a wearable translator that repeats phrases back to you in the language of your choosing—currently, either English, Chinese, or Japanese. It works like any other digital translator, except for the fact that it's voice-activated and doesn't require an internet connection.
