Now that Google Translate can understand the text of 103 languages, the tech world has turned its attention to real-time voice translation. Skype and its parent company are contestants in a machine translation arms race to help users lose their pocket dictionaries and tap into more foreign markets. The tool is available through Skype Preview (a beta version of Skype) to members of the free Windows Insider Program. The voice and chat application has expanded its real-time translation tool to any call to a mobile phone or landline in a user’s contact list, the Windows-owned company announced in a blog post Thursday.
Skype just made it easier to connect with people halfway around the world, even if they speak different languages.
