Open source? In what way is uploading sound files to a proprietary
server open source?
(Open API != open source).

How do you propose to add translation? Via the web service?

Honestly, too many to list.

Most importantly, your list of potential applications is still more
the stuff of science fiction (I mentioned Star Trek for a reason), and
I was rather hoping that if you did enough background reading, you
would realise that yourself.

I can only imagine that it is. Calling a bunch of Javascript APIs to
get the basic 'you speak, translate the ASR output, encode it via TTS,
send over a WebRTC channel' would not take even a week to do. You
haven't talked about the details, but if you're just calling APIs for
translation, ASR/TTS, etc., then I imagine that you intend to spend
the bulk of the project working on how to route the conversation to
inject the translation in a way that's not intrusive. That's more a
WebRTC project than Apertium.
