I’ve been blown away recently with Google Translate, on both the web and on my iPhone – just superb speech recognition and translation abilities. But the speech synthesis capabilities of this versatile debabelizer are also quite impressive.
Deciding to run a spontaneous real world test, two young women called a local Indian restaurant and placed their entire order in Hindi – via Google Translate running in Chrome on a MacBook Pro. The software proved up to the challenge – the order was delivered correctly, the expressions are priceless, and a good time was had by all!

Awesome. You could also use it to order from Pakistani restaurants too with the same settings.
Loved the video! Maybe Google isn’t all bad. :)

I’m sorry – two women didn’t spontaneously decide to call a local indian restaurant. Google hired two actresses, wrote a script, and they played it out. This is an ad for Google services folks.
@christo and @tinch – yeah on reflection you’re right, that wasn’t spontaneous. They had to plan the call, tab screens, video, etc.. But I don’t think they were actresses, and the demo seems genuine.
