Google had a giant week, introducing the new Nexus 7 tablet and the Nexus Q streaming media device, and pulling off the most impressive keynote stunt we’ve ever seen in the skies over San Francisco, as skydivers delivered Google’s augmented reality glasses with no small amount of technical wizardry.
Maybe now the company can do a little work on YouTube’s automated translations?
Check out what happens when you turn on the closed-captioning (via the “CC – English Transcribed” setting) on the Nexus 7 introductory video above and the Nexus Q video below.
Highlights include …
- “Nexus ceo their first social streaming media player may trigger the plane home.”

- “With nexus seven work bringing the latest and greatest entry technologies and the best content in the world will play into a single device inexperienced antiquity link thing.”
Machine learning and automated translations are tough, to be sure, but particularly for such high-profile product launches, Google would be wise to take this particular “feature” back to the lab.
