Sony Announces TALKMAN
Sony Computer Entertainment of Japan (SCEJ) has announced the TALKMAN for the PSP. The TALKMAN will become the first speech recognition device for the PSP.
"El Talkman se convertirá en el primer dispositivo de reconocimiento del habla para la PSP"
The TALKMAN will connect a microphone to the USB port of the PSP. TALKMAN will be bundled with special software (and most likely a 2.0 update) to allow for four languages to be spoken and translated. Languages are to include Japanese, Chinese, English and Korean and will be translated via speech recognition. The pronunciation of the languages can also be checked and there will be a game mode for single person, perhaps to learn a new language. More info will be known at the Tokyo Game Show this weekend lasting from the 16th to the 18th this September.
