Google Translate has reached its 20th anniversary, and in honor of this milestone, the company has introduced a new capability that allows users to practice their pronunciation and articulation of words and phrases in various languages.
Upon translating a word, sentence, or phrase, you can access the “Practice” menu to locate a “Pronounce” button, which provides you with phonetic guidance that you can vocalize to refine your speaking of the translated content.
The application then evaluates your pronunciation and provides feedback, such as “Certain sounds were somewhat ambiguous.” You also have the option to hear the application’s pronunciation of the text.
This feature is being introduced in the U.S. and India, supporting English, Spanish, and Hindi at this time.
This functionality is similar to Duolingo in that it allows users to practice articulating words and phrases.
Last month, the firm launched its live headphone translation feature on iOS and broadened its accessibility on Android devices to Germany, Spain, France, Nigeria, Italy, the United Kingdom, Japan, Bangladesh, and Thailand.
