Google Translate for Android

On January 12, Google released a revised version of its Google Translate for Android Application. The service was already allowing translation via text for 53 different languages and translation from voice to text in 15 languages. The new revision allows two users in close proximity, speaking different languages, to converse back and forth entirely through voice. One user speaks into a microphone, and the application translates the speech and reads it out loud. The user being spoken to can then respond and the application translates their speech back to the original speaker’s language. As of right now, this technology is only available for translation between English and Spanish.

Unfortunately, this technology is not without its flaws. There are still issues regarding background noise, users who speak too quickly, and thick regional accents. And of course, we are all aware that machine translations are hardly close to perfect. If you’re seeking translation service on a professional level, it’s absolutely best to skip the difficulty and problematic nature of machine translations and hire professional translation services. Here at Epic Translations, we have a service to fit your every need. Click the Contact Epic tab at the top of the page to reach us and we’ll get back to you immediately.
