Google Meet is now bringing its real-time speech translation feature to mobile devices. With this feature, Android and iOS users will be able to instantly hear conversations translated from one language to another during live meetings.
Google has announced a major change to its video conferencing platform, Google Meet. A real-time speech translation feature is now coming to the mobile app (Android and iOS). This means that during live meetings, spoken language will be instantly translated into another language. Until now, this feature was only available on computers and laptops, and only for select Google Workspace and AI subscription users. But its availability on mobile devices will be a great relief for those who conduct meetings or attend online classes on their phones.
The special thing about this feature is that it doesn’t just display the translation in text, but also provides an audio translation. This means that whatever language the other person speaks, Google Meet will instantly translate it into your chosen language. This will make international meetings, calls with foreign clients, and online learning much easier than before.
How the Speech Translation Feature Works and Which Languages It Supports
This feature is based on Google AI. When someone speaks in a meeting, Google Meet recognizes their voice and instantly translates it into another language. Importantly, the tone and emotion of the voice are also taken into account during the translation, so that the conversation sounds natural. Initially, this feature will be available for a few selected languages. Currently, it supports translation from English to languages such as Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese. Google says that more languages will be added in the future so that more people can benefit from it.
Eliminating Language Barriers
This change in Google Meet will be a great benefit, especially for those involved in international collaboration, education, employment, or communication with family members. This feature is currently in beta, so the translation may not be completely accurate at first. There might be some errors in pronunciation, but Google is continuously working to improve it. This will eliminate language barriers and allow people to express themselves without hesitation. In the future, this feature will make meetings and conversations much easier than ever before.
