“It allows you to have a more comfortable and fluid translated conversation,” stated the Microsoft Translator group. “However, it shines when you have two smart devices: your phone and your watch.”īy linking an Apple Watch or Android Wear smartwatch, users can carry on a conversation without crowding over a smartphone. “We worked on making the feature work well if you have just your phone with the app installed,” said Microsoft. In Microsoft Translator for Android and iOS, the technology is geared toward in-person conversations. Skype Translator delivers translations in real time using both a synthesized voice and on-screen text. It enables users to carry on cross-language video conversations by simply speaking in their native tongue. Microsoft first debuted the real-time translation tech last year during a demonstration at the Code Conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif.
“The feature supports translation to and from Chinese Mandarin, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.” “The new conversation feature uses the same Microsoft Translator translation engine that powers Skype Translator, bringing our advanced machine learning know-how and speech recognition systems to assist you to converse in-person,” said the Microsoft Translator group in a Dec. Now the same technology that enables users to conduct online conversations between a handful of languages is available on iOS and Android, courtesy of the newly updated Microsoft Translator apps for those mobile platforms. Nothing new here, but we understand that this time Google aims to provide real-time, near-perfect translations within its app, which is something the current offering lacks.Windows users have enjoyed Skype Translator since October. The upgrade is supposed to allow the app to sense when you're speaking in a popular language and automatically convert it into translated text. Currently the app offers text translation for over 80 languages, including English, Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hindi, Russian and Spanish, and voice translation for just a few of them. Google is not being indifferent about Microsoft's move, as it is reportedly working on a significant update for its Google Translate app for Android. You can try the feature as part of a preview program, but it is limited to Spanish and English for voice translation, and 40 languages for text messaging.
Six months ago, Microsoft has unveiled Skype Translator, a real time translator tool that can be used to bridge two people from different parts of the world by allowing them to speak with one another using their native language.
