What is Google Meet?
Google Meet is an easy way to stay connected with family and friends wherever you go
Posts By Zach Gray-TraversoGoogle Meet on computers supports real-time speech translation. Unlike translated captions, speech translation allows participants to speak in their native language, while the platform translates the speech in real-time into spoken sentences, essentially preserving the "flow of conversation by creating an audio translation dubbed over the original speech that mimics the speaker’s tone and speaking cadence."
Up until now, this feature has been limited to Google Meet on computers. Leaks recently suggested that the feature might make its way to the platform's mobile apps, and that's exactly what's happening now.
In a new Workspace updates post announcing speech translation's general availability for businesses, the tech giant also announced the feature's mobile expansion.
You can't try it out just yet
Speech translation will roll out to the Meet Android and iOS apps in the coming months.
In addition to the mobile expansion, the tech giant also indicated that it will make visual updates to the speech translation user interface. This applies to the feature's UI on computers. Additionally, Google will also make refinements to translation accuracy and nuance, which should apply to the feature on all surfaces.
