Yamaha Motor introduces RevTranslator App Which Makes the Engine do all the Talking

Highlights
We agree that the engine of any machine should do the talking, but Yamaha Motor Company seems to have taken that phrase very seriously. The company announced the launch of the English version of its smartphone application - RevTranslator that translates engine sounds of bikes into over 100 million different combinations of preset phrases to make the bike communicate to the rider. The app can be downloaded for free via the App Store and Google Play
The English version follows the Japanese version and supplies riders with a translation of what their bikes are saying. What this app requires is a smartphone sound recorder to record the engine's sound and understand the bike's speed, the time of the day, weather and other complex information.
On the basis this information, it communicates with one of over 100 million preset phrases. Yamaha says that the engine's translated "emotions" vary depending on the engine sound, the time of day and the weather. The users can choose from six different characters to represent the bike, including a 'cool' male character or a 'cute' female-the responses evaluated to be communicated are influenced by these personalities.
Every time the user translates, the user can also accumulate points by using the application to unlock rare caricatures of various Yamaha products used worldwide while having fun hearing the engine "talk".
