1. A device configured to: receive a human-perceptible input of a nearby circumstance, wherein the human-perceptible input includes a non-text visual input; configure a wireless signal of the human-perceptible input; transmit the wireless signal to a distal computing service for a distal computed translation of the nearby circumstance and output of the distal translation; receive the translation wirelessly; express the translation in a human-perceptible output, wherein the human-perceptible output includes an audible output translation of the non-text visual input; wherein the device is configured to express the translation through another device that is intermittently local to the device.
