The language translating application 'Jiggibo' is amazing simply for the fact that technology has finally broken the language barrier. The original application was written for the iphone 3G and only converted spoken language. One user would speak into the phone, then choose the language they want it converted to. Today the app allows Droid and iPhone users to convert both spoken and printed text. This is huge because any language barrier can easily be broken by both parties. In other words international communication is now possible without the use of a translator. (This is of course bad news for those employed as translators). The possibilities of Jiggibo are endless, stop and think of how many ways this app could prove beneficial. For example, if you are in a foreign country and come across a road sign simply take a picture of the sign with your mobile phone, convert it through Jiggibo, and the message is communicated
