These smart glasses show real-time subtitles of conversations, which could be useful to deaf people. The XRAI Glass software turns speech into text, which is then displayed on the inside of the lenses.

    Well it's very hard to translate speech in real time to another language because words and sentences are structured differently in different languages so it would have to listen to the whole sentence or multiple sentences before it could actually accurately translate it, and there could still easily be akward mistakes. It could work somewhat on languages that are related to each other

    Some software's actually learn your speech habits over time and adjusts to them accordingly. I've learned over the years that speech to text softwares aren't all created equal.
