We are essentially creating a network of those who desire to teach and to learn.
Imagine you’re an overworked nurse and a Spanish-speaking man walks into the ER--wailing in pain. Without the ability to communicate, it is extremely difficult to diagnose his problem. The ability to communicate with patients is paramount to effective medicine and saving lives.

Most apps, like Google Translate, go directly from the speech to text to the text translation. What we do is take the recognized text and ensure that it is accurate based on grammar and context before it’s translated.  Our context engine uses location memory, which examines crowd-sourced snippets of previous conversations within your vicinity. To start translating, just talk.  As you talk, your voice is translated, transcribed, and played back in another language, on the fly, as close to real-time as possible. BabelSushi becomes accustomed to your particular jargon over time. Just like your spouse, BabelSushi can almost finish your sentences for you!

With this tool, you can spread ideas, improve healthcare, and even educate others free of charge.
