Microsoft updates the Translator application betting on Cortana to enhance its usability
Cortana little by little continues its growth within the Windows platform. It is essential if you want to compete with the options offered by Siri or Google Assistant in their ecosystems, let alone Alexa, the great dominator within virtual assistants
"In this sense, now it is the turn of the Translator application, which is now compatible with Cortana thanks to the last _update_. An addition that comes in parallel to an image wash with improvements in the design and new additions and functions that are above all designed to improve its usability."
Now and thanks to this integration, users will be able to interact with Cortana through the languages it supports (English, French, German , Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese and Japanese) by means of a series of pre-defined commands. And all in real time.
So we can say for example "Hello, Cortana, start a conversation in the Translator" and after that start the conversation. A process that will also be in real time and allows Cortana to translate into different languages on the fly.
The integration with Cortana is the most interesting but it is not the only one that we are going to find with this update of Translator Another example One of the improvements to improve usability is that it is now compatible with Windows Ink, so that it will detect what we write by hand on the screen and translate it into the language we want.This function also extends to images, which will be in charge of studying to recognize text in them and translate it."
On the other hand, usability has been improved for times when we do not have a network connection. To do this you can download the language packs to continue to be able to count on them at times when we will not have a direct line with the cloud, an advantage that we already found in iOS and Android.
This is an update intended for use on the PC platform and Windows Mixed Reality that can already be downloaded if you access the link at the end of the text.
