Working on a system capable of translating a real-time conversation between two people. Of course, we still see many years of running, but the Mountain View Company is taking the first steps in this market by merging two technologies, the automatic translation and voice recognition. Far from giving an exact date, since Google said they would be ready in “a few years.”

With the announcement of the Nexus 1 was given to understand that cap retraite never satisfied with what they do and always seek to bring a little beyond the limits of what the brand is able to achieve. The latest development comes as a translator voice, which, according to sources, could allow users to have conversations with anyone no matter what language they speak.

We have already seen on other occasions to implants dentaires to develop systems to do things with his voice instead of text, like the voice browser. Using technologies such as the aforementioned, Google expects to have the basic system within a few years. The operation is quite complex but it would be able to recognize a person’s language and translate the synthetic equivalent of a different language. The system would analyze packets of dialogue, listening to the users to understand the message you want to be sent and then translating. Building on the progress made, the next step in this adventure will be web browsers

I do not speak from the point of view of translation, but the integration of speech voice recognition in web browsers in the first instance in Chrome, but with a destination open to the rest of “competitors.”

Automatic reading of texts based on speech synthesis, goes hand in hand the recognition of texts, in both ways Google has a lot of advanced terrain, and practical way we can see how the Android operating system in their latest releases is a great example of it. According to Ian Fete, when the technology is available in browsers will open a completely new area to exploit web applications.

However, this time we will stop at an evil that many people suffer and do not know what it is or what he owes. This is known as Floaters.

This disorder is so named because it is precisely we who noticed as if passing before our eyes were seeing a fly and, when in reality it is a black dot that is produced by small particles or vitreous cells that have become more dense and opaque, creating a kind of shadow in the eye and producing the effect of fly, we normally see when we look at a surface uniform in color such as the sky or a wall.

It is true that as our birthday vitreous gradually becomes thicker; lose the liquidity that was when we were young. Therefore, are many disorders begun to appear over time. The problem of the floaters is that many young people from the disease and do not know what they should. Among the main reasons, why they occur highlights some kind of eye inflammation due to infection or trauma. May also occur in people who have myopia, who have had a cataract or have had laser eye intervention.

When this condition in the eye must give it the importance it deserves, and that the tightening of humor makes it off the wall of the eye and can cause a retinal detachment. Therefore, it is advisable to see a doctor to see why that produces those floaters. A measure we perform as we see some of these flies, even one as it can be the beginning of a larger problem. The same if we see flashes of light inside the eye that interrupt the view.

Contact solutionA rare eye infection, but potentially disabling condition caused by a rare parasite, this concern to the experts. Epidemiologists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have linked the outbreak to AMO Complete solution commonly used to clean and store contact lenses.

Keratinize caused by Acanthamoeba parasite has affected nearly 140 people. A similar outbreak occurred last year and involved a fungus associated with another type of contact solution. In both cases, the cornea, e the outer layer of the eye, is at risk.

People who use this solution should stop using it immediately and detaches all solution bottles that still have, so also of all contact care and storage containers that has been in contact with it. The outbreak is being researched by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, FDA, state and local departments of health and ophthalmologists in all EU.

Symptoms of infection include pain and inflammation of the eye, blurred vision, light sensitivity, irritation or tearing. Symptoms can last from weeks to months and vary among patients, like other diseases. In severe cases, infection can result in the need for a cornea transplant.
The two outbreaks underscore the need for closer monitoring of infections in people using contact lenses for the diagnosis and appropriate treatment to occur more quickly, preventing serious complications.

The acanthamoeaba is a parasite commonly found in water and land, and was identified for the first time in contact lens wearers in the 80′s.
Although the specific cause of the outbreak is still under investigation, it is possible that changes in chlorination practices, changes in the chemicals used or some sensitivity among users of certain types of lenses is responsible.
