In order to use Skype Translator, users will need some (paid for) Skype credits. As you or your contact speaks, it will be translated in your headphones and the translations will also appear on your screen. The system works best with headphones and a microphone and it helps if users speak as clearly as possible. Skype Translator supports over 50 languages. Previously, the translation feature, which began rolling out to users back in 2014, only worked for Skype-to-Skype calls.
Recently, Skype has expanded the availability of its real-time translation feature, integrating the tool with calls made to mobile phones and landlines. Skype has designed the system in order to break down language barriers between friends, family and colleagues. No official launch date for Skype Meeting Broadcasts translations and transcriptions has been offered by Microsoft.Skype Translator allows users to talk to people anywhere in the world with real time translation. Venezuela, Vietnam, Uruguay, and Kenya will bring the list of conference supported nations to 92. Conferencing is now coming to more countries, the company says. Skype for Business Conferencing Expansionįurthering the global reach of Skype for Business, Microsoft also announced a new PSTN update.
As this is similar to Skype Translator, we guess Skype Meeting Broadcast will offer the same languages that service supports. Usually, a service will begin with a few core languages and then expand through updates to add more. Microsoft has not dropped the key information of how many languages will be supported. Microsoft says the real-time translations will also aid the hard of hearing. Needless to say, offering multiple language transcriptions opens businesses for more global reach. If the speaker was giving the presentation in English then the CC’s would also be in English. Until now, broadcasts have been limited to the language of the presenter.
