SLOW VOICE TRANSLATOR FROM ENGLISH TO SPANISH
English is probably the language that you need to translate the most in your day-to-day life and, make no mistake, it is usually a headache, so setting up the slow voice translator from English to Spanish can be very useful.
The way to do it is very simple, because you must follow exactly the same steps as above. Of course, make sure that you have correctly selected the languages. That is, in the text box at the top of the app, select English, and in the bottom, Spanish.
- You can change it in two ways, by clicking on the arrow next to the language, where a drop-down will appear with all the languages.
- Or by giving the double arrow that appears in the center of the screen, so that the order is exchanged. Tl and as marked in the image above.
HOW TO USE GOOGLE TRANSLATE FOR SIMULTANEOUS VOICE TRANSLATION
If you are trying to discover how to use Google Translate for simultaneous voice translation, we anticipate that this application has two functions that are similar to simultaneous translation; They are the central icon that says “Conversation”, and the one on the right that says “Transcribe”. See how each of them work:
- “Conversation”: if you click on this icon, a microphone will open, then you will be able to pronounce a phrase and the translator will translate into the language you have selected by voice. It is almost a simultaneous translation, but with the disadvantage that you will have to repeat the same action with each phrase you want to translate (by clicking on the microphone icon that appears in the central part).
- “Transcribe”: in this case, it will also be through your voice, yours, how you will pronounce the phrase you want to translate; once dictated, it will be transcribed directly in the language you have selected, but in this case in written form. Unlike the previous option, here you can add phrases through your voice, after a short pause, and continue translating.
THE GOOGLE TRANSLATE SETTINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
In addition to those already mentioned, the Google Translate settings that you should know if you use this application often are the following:
- Translate with camera: a function that allows you to take a photo of the text you want to translate without having to transcribe it . To do this you must activate the camera settings and locate its icon once in the translator.
- Translate offline: for which you will have to previously download the languages that you use the most so that when you do not have internet the application will work anyway, as we explain here.
- Touch to translate: a function that allows you to translate directly from the applications you use the most, such as WhatsApp or Tinder, without having to open the Google translator application each time.
