Look what Skype translator has to offer you

Ngoc Huynh

Last month, Microsoft’s Skype released a beta version of its own live translation tool, which translates speech instantly into both text and spoken translations.

Microsoft released a preview of Skype Translator (pictured). It lets people of different languages talk to each other on video calls. The software translates Spanish or English into text and speech, using a Windows 8.1 device

While it currently only interprets between English and Spanish, it will eventually offer 40 languages, which will mean people from different countries will be able to converse with ease.

‘Skype is now removing another barrier to make it possible for people to communicate irrespective of what language they speak,’ Microsoft’s Gurdeep Pall wrote in a blog post at the time.

‘Skype Translator relies on machine learning, which means that the more the technology is used, the smarter it gets.’
