Google Translate updated with real-time voice functionality

The new app update is also host to a revamped image search tool capable of translating signs, menus and papers on the move.

Google has rebooted its translate software to incorporate real-time voice translation, capable of detecting languages being spoken around you.

The new app update is also host to a revamped image search functionality capable of translating signs, menus and papers on the move.

In a statement Google said: “The Translate app already lets you use camera mode to snap a photo of text and get a translation for it in 36 languages. Now, we’re taking it to the next level and letting you instantly translate text using your camera.

“While using the Translate app, just point your camera at a sign or text and you’ll see the translated text overlaid on your screen – even if you don’t have an internet or data connection.”

English, French, German, Italian, Portugese, Russian and Spanish are all supported in the initial launch.
