Yes, I realize that there is an existing product with the same name
Concept
- A portable (battery-run) triangular translator device
- Two e-ink displays, each facing different side
- How fast can those displays be? - can they update as one speaks?
- Directional microphones
- No keyboard = speech recognition should be as accurate as possible
- General LLM (not medical LLM) to do translation
- A dial to change language?
- A button (on either side) to start talking, a button to delete the last part spoken?
- A thermal printer at the top to print the conversation to take home
