Google is finally bringing one of its most useful language tools directly to Apple’s iOS platform. Google has announced today that its popular live translate feature for headphones is now officially available on iOS. This tool essentially turns any pair of earbuds or headphones into a language interpreter. Instead of staring at a screen to read translated text, you can now hear live conversations translated in real time in your ears using a pair of earphones.
Here’s how Google’s live translate feature via headphones works on iOS
So far, Google Translate’s live translation via headphones feature worked only on Android devices, but now iOS users finally get to join in on the action. To try it out, you just need to open the Google Translate app on your iPhone, connect your headphones, and hit the live translate button. When someone speaks to you in a different language, the translation application instantly processes the audio and plays the translated speech directly through your ears.
Currently, the feature supports more than 70 different languages across the globe. Google has also programmed the functionality to maintain the tone and rhythm of the original speaker. It means that you don’t get a flat robotic voice reading translated words back to you.
Google is expanding the availability of the live translate feature to more regions
Along with the release for iOS devices, Google is expanding this live translate feature to more regions for both Android and iPhone devices. The company is now rolling out the feature to users in France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Thailand, and the United Kingdom. This software update makes Google a very strong competitor against expensive, specialized translation earbuds that usually cost a lot of dollars.
Google has started rolling out the live headphone translation feature to iOS devices in a gradual manner. It could take some time to reach all iPhones. We can expect more improvements to the feature in the coming months.
