Real-time translations for Skype calls are now available

Today I bring you very good news (especially if you use Skype), because real-time translations for Skype calls are now available. This is very comfortable, because you will be able to make calls with another person who does not speak your language without problem. So if you have problems with English, it is an excellent option to go shooting.

Real-time translations reach Skype calls

Can you imagine being doing a Skype and that everything you speak is being translated in real time so that the other person can understand it? Although it seems magic, it is not, because this real-time translation system is complex and Skype has been working on it for many years. What it does is recognize what we say, translate it into another language and reproduce it. As a result, the conversation seems completely natural.

This Skype translation system is available in several languages (also in Spanish). You will be able to use it not only for video calls, but also when you make calls to phones.

I want to use Skype translations, what do I have to do?

• You must be inside the Windows Insider program (remember that it is totally free). Install the Skype beta app. Have credit in Skype (to make calls).

This is the first thing you have to do. Once installed, when you make the call, a “translate” button will appear. If you press it, you can select the languages ​​of the conversation you want, so that when the other person speaks to you, the voice will be automatically translated into your language. In addition, this person will be alerted that the call is being recorded and translated (for the security of the conversation). And also, this call will have short breaks, because the conversation will be recognized all the time to be translated and repeated with another voice.

Some of the languages ​​already available are: English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese (Mandarin), Italian, Portuguese (Brazilian), Arabic and Russian . It is impressive what this functionality of Skype has achieved.

How about? Have you already tried it?
