This Tuesday (17th), Google Translate launched a new instant translation feature.
The tool allows you to transcribe conversations in real time between eight languages: English, French, German, Hindi, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Thai.
The novelty is available for users of Android phones and, for now, the version of the application for iPhone (iOS) has not arrived.
The transcription feature works best in a quiet environment with one person speaking at a time.
