Google Celebrates 20 Years of Translate With a New Pronunciation Feature
The new Practice button lets users hear native speech and get AI feedback on pronunciation, with about one-third of mobile users already practicing speaking and listening.
- On Tuesday, Google launched an AI-powered pronunciation practice feature for Android users in the U.S. and India, supporting English, Spanish, and Hindi to mark the app's 20th anniversary.
- Tapping the 'Pronounce' button allows users to speak phrases while AI analyzes speech in real time, offering instant feedback and phonetic breakdowns to improve conversational accuracy.
- Celebrating 20 years of service, Google Translate now supports almost 250 languages, covering an estimated 95% of the world's population, with more than 1 billion users relying on the platform monthly.
- This new feature builds on Gemini-powered 'Ask' and 'Understand' capabilities introduced earlier this year, while the app recently gained ability to decode idioms and local slang like 'raining cats and dogs.'
- While currently exclusive to Android in select regions, the company has offered no timeline for expanding pronunciation practice to iOS or other countries, though Live Translation features remain available on both platforms.
