Anyone who likes this idea might also be interested in checking out RTranslator, an open source, on-device app, which has some similar functionality. You can connect two Bluetooth devices using this app to communicate between two people in different languages.
It can’t translate multiple speakera simultaneously or clone voices, but it’s very useful for traveling or communicating with friends and family in multiple languages. Especially since it does not need any connection, it comes in handy on the road when you might not have a reliable connection.

I hate AI as much as the next lemming, but nobody is going to tell me a babble fish for real isn’t cool AF.

Though babble fish is a funny term, Douglas Adams named the creature “Babel fish”, after the biblical story of the tower of Babel.

Except, unlike the real babble fish that feed on our thought waves, this one feeds on our environment and our planet’s future.

I hope you dont play video games or stream HD video, given that they use more electricity for less social benefit than this would.
