  • Google’s Translate is celebrating its 20th anniversary by launching a new pronunciation practice feature, a highly requested addition based on user feedback.
  • Currently, the new feature is available for Android users in the US and India for English, Spanish, and Hindi.
  • Users have the option to either “pronounce” the translated text via a “Practice” button or “listen” to native speakers’ pronunciation.
  • If you choose the “pronounce” option, the app will analyze your speech using AI, provide instant feedback, and offer a phonetic spelling for word pronunciation.
  • Around a third of mobile Translate users practice speaking and listening to conduct real-life conversations, making this feature valuable for many.
  • Google Translate now supports over 250 languages and has over 1 billion monthly users translating over 1 trillion words every month.
