The real-time translation feature in Google Meet calls is now available on Android.
Google Meet already offers real-time voice translation in some meetings, although this feature has so far only been available on computers.
Google has now confirmed that this tool will soon be available on mobile devices as well.
A new setting allowing users to enable voice translation in the app was discovered for the first time in a beta version. While it wasn't fully functional yet, its appearance indicated that Google was actively testing how to implement this feature on phones and tablets.
Currently, real-time translation requires a paid Google subscription and only works on computers. Its availability on mobile devices will come with some limitations, such as being restricted to specific phones.
Implementing this feature on mobile devices will revolutionize communication in international work environments and meetings, facilitating dialogue between people who speak different languages. Furthermore, this feature represents another step in Google's strategy to integrate its AI capabilities across all its applications and services.
The fact that this option was available in the beta version indicated that this feature would be added sooner or later.
In this way, universal translation devices will cease to be a science fiction promise and will become a common feature in our communication applications.
