10. A headset computing device to perform instant speech translation, the device comprising: a speech capture module to capture speech in a first language; a communications module to establish a local communications network including a link with at least a second headset computer, transmit the captured speech in the first language directly to a network-based speech recognition service to recognize and transcribe the captured speech as text in the first language, receive the text in the first language from the network-based speech recognition service, and broadcast the text in the first language over the local network to the at least second headset computer, receive text in a second language from the at least second headset computer, transmit the received text in the second language directly to a network-based text translation service to translate the text in the second language to a text in the first language, and receive the text in the first language from the network-based text translation service; a noise canceling module to cancel speech in the second language at the device; and a micro-display to display the translated text in the first language.
