If you grew up in the 80s, 90s, or even the 00s, this was the symbol of the future. We saw our sci-fi heroes do it on screen, and we dreamed of being able to talk to our devices ourselves.

Voice recognition is something we take for granted, and Siri, and all the awesome things it can do, is a household name. Google’s...

I want to boldly claim that Google Translate has been beaten by an even better app, one that is quite possibly the closest thing we have to the Universal Translator right now.
