I\u2019ve been an iPhone user since the very first model was released back in 2007, but I\u2019ve been a Google user for even longer than that and I continue to rely on Google for so many things. In fact, my dream is to have Google take over just about everything I do on my iPhone. Apple\u2019s apps and services have been getting better and better over the years, but I still think they fall short of Google in every key area. I use Gmail for email, Google Maps for mapping, Google Voice as my work phone, Google Photos to organize and back up my photos, Google Calendar, and so many more Google apps on my iPhone. In fact, I don\u2019t even bother Safari anymore to browse the web, opting instead to use the Google app to handle searches and browsing. There\u2019s another Google app on my phone that I don\u2019t use nearly as much as I would like to, and Google just announced that it\u2019s getting a terrific new feature I can\u2019t wait to try out.<span id=\"more-5785766\"\/><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t travel nearly as much as I would like to these days, mostly because I don\u2019t have the time. When I do travel, however, Google Translate has been a godsend. This brilliant app almost completely eliminates the language barrier, allowing me to speak in English and have my words translated instantly into any one of dozens of different languages. Then, the person I\u2019m chatting with can respond in his or her native language and Google Translate will read his or her comments back to me in English. It\u2019s awesome\u2026 but it\u2019s about to get even better.<\/p>\n<p>The dream, if you will, is the real-time translation of conversations. There are already a few different products that try to do this with headphones, and they work to varying degrees. The Google Translate app is far more reliable at this point, but it\u2019s also pretty slow. A person speaks, then the app reads sentences back in a new language like a human translator would. It works great and it\u2019s obviously better than nothing, but wouldn\u2019t it be nice if there was also a quicker option? As you can see in the tweet below from a reporter at a small Google event yesterday, a faster option is in the works.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-twitter\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New from Google Translate: a transcription feature that can translate and transcribe speech in \u201cclose to real time,\u201d coming to the Android app <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/IB15UhgE40\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/IB15UhgE40<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Karissa Bell (@karissabe) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/karissabe\/status\/1222216892867235840?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">January 28, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>An upcoming new version of the Google Translate app will be able to translate and transcribe conversations in near-real-time, allowing one person to read text in his or her native language as another person speaks in a different language. That is nothing short of mind-blowing. Here\u2019s a video of the feature in action:<\/p>\n<p>Yup\u2026 mind: blown. Unfortunately, though, it\u2019s not all good news. It\u2019s currently unclear exactly when this fantastic new feature will be made available to the public, with the company only willing to say that it\u2019s working to make the feature available at some point in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span class=\"description img-caption\"><span class=\"source\">Image Source: Denys Prykhodov\/Shutterstock<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<div class=\"author-bio-image-container with-avatar\">\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ww-vb.mine.nu\/w108\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1580462563_381_Google\u2019s-most-impressive-mobile-app-is-getting-a-new-feature.jpg\" height=\"52px\" width=\"47px\"\/><\/div>\n<p>\n\t\tZach Epstein has worked in and around ICT for more than a decade, first in marketing and business development with two private telcos, then as a writer and editor covering business news, consumer electronics and telecommunications.
