Bet your mask can't do this!

A Japanese robotics company has developed a super-smart mask that can amplify voices, transcribe dictation, and (are you sitting down?) translate speech into eight different languages. It will be available to the public as soon as September.

The C-Mask was designed by Japanese tech company Donut Robotics to improve communication between airline workers and supermarket employees during the pandemic. It is Bluetooth-connected to the users phone, and can translate Japanese into Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Indonesian, English, Spanish and French.
