@tommoor Speech translation lag is the main issue at the moment with Phonebot. It's a neat demo but would need a better real-time translation engine to be usable in the real world. It would also be better if Twilio exposed the real-time audio stream through their API.

@dennisvdvliet At the moment, the IBM Watson APIs for Speech to Text are in "beta" and don't support personalisation training. I was impressed that it works well without any training. When they launch training, you should be able to get very accurate results.

@thomasj @dennisvdvliet Did you check APIs like https://wit.ai/ ?

@v4violetta Slack bought Screenhero right? That + call abilities would make it killer

@nzieber I did add an option to turn off those status messages recently. Phonebot is quieter but the speech translation lag can be a bit annoying without any indication we're waiting for the translation.
