Tech Talk

 

The smaller and more compact cell phones become the more our words must be compressed in order to fit inside them.  Back when telephones were attached to kitchen walls and had long cords hanging from them, words and sentences were electronically elongated so they could slide through the cord.

As technology has advanced, so have the methods of verbal compression.  It is during the compression phase when a series of computer chips manipulate and sort the various languages, so no matter what language is spoken into the device, that same language comes out at the other end.

AI uses similar methods within the Alexa system.  It has been designed that no matter which language you speak, that is the language you will hear Alexa using.  Several different nationalities within the same room will all hear Alexa in their own language and no one will be the wiser.
