A new device named an Enabling Language Service Anywhere (ELSA) gives users access to 180 different languages in just one minutes time.  The device was created by Charles Howerton after he struggled to communicate in Spanish with workers at his construction company.

The device is simple to use too with only three buttons and built-in microphones and speakers. 

Thus far, Howerton has noticed the largest use of his invention has been from "first responders - medical, police, fire - they're the one's that communicate the most."  The device has been used in a number of intense situations such as domestic violence instances and the delivering of a baby.

The ELSA currently cost $400 but that has not slowed the growth of the innovative device.  According to RTT Mobile, the company that sells the device, sales have even doubled in some months.

Howerton's next move is an upcoming Kickstarter campaign in which he hopes to raise enough money to fund the next generation of the device that can be used by the general public in addition to first responders.
