Overall impressions: really smooth.  It hooks into your various chat accounts (I created a test Google account) and Facebook and the rest, and lets you see when any of your contacts are on any of the different networks.  You can then chat from one place to any of these networks.  So if a friend goes into Facebook, I see her and can talk to her immediately.  Same for Skype, Jabber, Google talk.<br><br>The Universal Translation works well enough to shock my friends.  They don't see it.  So one of my friends is anglo-Swedish and I started chatting to her in Swedish.  It translates her replies back to me and seems to auto-detect whether she replies in English or Swedish.<br><br>Very, very smooth, fast, though the translations are always a little... amusing.  Still much better than any alternative I can think of.<br><br>Next, it comes with a VoIP client so I can call fixed lines very cheaply.  I've been doing a lot of SIP and Skype lately as I travel around.  I'm not sure whether VoxOx is SIP or not, if it is then I can call free to my family at home.<br><br>And it also lets me send/receive text messages with translation.  This is only useful in the USA I guess, because here in Europe texts are usually too costly.<br><br>I would classify this as 'revolutionary' software.  VoxOx's business model is, I think, to sell phone minutes.<br><br>Only one thing to improve: presence indicators on users is kind of small and not obvious.  It should be 20x more visible... ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ph]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 17th 2010 11:56AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on VoxOx Universal Translator makes multilingual communication a breeze]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/voxox-universal-translator-makes-multilingual-communication-a-br/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/voxox-universal-translator-makes-multilingual-communication-a-br/</guid><description><![CDATA[WOW.
