Jibbigo is a mobile offline language translation application that was developed by Mobile Technologies, LLC and Dr. Alex Waibel, a professor at Carnegie Mellon.[1] Jibbigo is an offline voice translator and does not need phone or data connectivity to function.[2] Spanish-English Jibbigo was released in September, 2009 as the first offline Speech Translation application.[3] The company has since expanded its offerings to include ten language pairs sold on both Apple's App Store and Google Play.
In Jibbigo, the user holds down a record button and says a phrase. The phrase then appears as text in both languages and is spoken aloud in the target language. The app also includes an add name function, a background dictionary, and other features. On iOS, it is compatible with VoiceOver for vision impaired users.
Jibbigo was featured on an episode of "Popular Science - Future Of" by the Science Channel in early 2010[4] and the PBS Nova episode "The Smartest Machine on Earth"[5] in 2011. In August 2013, it was announced that Facebook was acquiring the company to promptly shut it down remove all websites leaving people who purchased language packs unable to get a refund.[6]
