Real-Time Translator – Interpreter, Google’s real-time translator, hits mobile

Real-Time Translator

A Real-Time translator is a tool that translates text into the language specified by the user in real-time and transcripts the conversations using web conferencing tools.

This product allows you to communicate seamlessly even when you don’t speak the other person’s language.

For example, let’s say you’ve decided to use a web conferencing tool like Microsoft Teams to communicate with
people overseas.

Suppose you and the other person were unable to speak the other’s language fluently.

The real-time translator tool is handy at this point.

The real-time translator tool can translate the words you speak into another language.

The words spoken by the interlocutor are translated into your language as text. This way, you can communicate with
each other seamlessly.
