Skype Translator To Be Bundled With Skype Windows Desktop App
Microsoft, which owns Skype, has announced that the Skype Translator feature will be bundled with future version of the Skype desktop app. Users will have to wait till the end of Summer 2015 for the global roll-out to begin. Microsoft's trying to make the translator feature available to larger set of users and just last month, removed the sign-up requirement to download the Skype Translator Preview. Skype says that this single action resulted into about 300% in the translator usage.
Skype Translator was announced in December last year. It lets you translate your speech in real time both as speech and text. Currently the service supports English, Spanish, Mandarin and Italian languages for real time speech translation, but Microsoft will roll out support to more languages in coming months. Microsoft says that the service also supports about #-Link-Snipped-# IM languages.
The main aim for Skype's translator service is to remove the language barrier between people trying to communicate with each other across the globe. The service employs machine learning algorithms which learns on the go and makes itself more intelligent. That means, the more the number of people using it, the better it becomes.
Do check out the video that explains how to setup the Skype Translator. Do not forget to share your experience of using it. We look forward to your comments.
