What they say about VEED

Veed is a great piece of browser software with the best team I've ever seen. Veed allows for subtitling, editing, effect/text encoding, and many more advanced features that other editors just can't compete with. The free version is wonderful, but the Pro version is beyond perfect. Keep in mind that this a browser editor we're talking about and the level of quality that Veed allows is stunning and a complete game changer at worst.

I love using VEED as the speech to subtitles transcription is the most accurate I've seen on the market. It has enabled me to edit my videos in just a few minutes and bring my video content to the next level

Laura Haleydt - Brand Marketing Manager, Carlsberg Importers

The Best & Most Easy to Use Simple Video Editing Software! I had tried tons of other online editors on the market and been disappointed. With VEED I haven't experienced any issues with the videos I create on there. It has everything I need in one place such as the progress bar for my 1-minute clips, auto transcriptions for all my video content, and custom fonts for consistency in my visual branding.

If you're on a Windows, Mac, Linux, or Chromebook computer, then first, open your preferred web browser and launch the Google Translate website. You don't have to sign in to the site to access its features.

When the site opens, in the box on the left, choose the source language. This is the language in which your audio is.

In the box on the right, choose the language in which you want to translate your audio.

After selecting both source and target languages, click the microphone icon on the screen. If your browser asks to access your computer's mic , allow it to do so.

Speak into your computer's mic and Google Translate will translate your audio and display the result on your screen. To play the translated version, click the sound icon.

To translate voice on an Android , iPhone , or iPad , then first, download and launch the free Google Translate app.

In the app's bottom-left corner, tap the displayed language.

From the "Translate From" menu, select the language in which your original audio is.

Tap the language on the right and choose the target language.

After selecting both languages, at the bottom of the app, tap the microphone icon. If the app asks to access your phone's mic , let it do so.

Now speak into your phone's mic and the Google Translate app will translate your speech in real-time.

You can hear the translated content by tapping the sound icon.

AI makes it all up

I have used Google Translate for many years and some of the recent changes have frustrated me immensely. I use this primarily for Chinese language and often use the camera feature. Lately, it seems the app will not faithfully transcribe what is displayed, but will change the characters displayed. I can’t trust that the AI hasn’t decided to substitute what is displayed with something different and perhaps has changed the meaning, by even a slight, but significant amount. A faithful transcription will allow me to puzzle out what the meaning may by allowing me to review the characters displayed, not the characters that have been substituted. Also, with the same feature, I used to be able to view the characters in the photo and choose which characters to translate, but now, I can only choose the translated segments. If there is a way to view an untranslated version, other than sending it to the home page (with the already unreliable transcription of what is displayed), I haven’t figured it out.

Accessibility for Instructional Design

Google Translate is now a form of augmented reality and is adapted for educational purposes. This application provides users with tools to translate between languages and they now include an image option; users take a photograph of a sign, piece of paper, or other form of written text and receive a translation in the language of their choice. This augmented reality is ground breaking because this allows online learners to access content in other languages. The application also translates spoken word in real time, which allows all learners to access audio in written form, in their own language, online or in-person. This version of augmented reality that is adapted for education can be utilized in an online learning environment and can be utilized by instructional designers. One of the major challenges with instructional design is selecting the correct tools to build learning experiences. With this application, instructional designers are able to create a course in their own language and can make their lesson accessible to learners by recommending Google Translate for accessibility. I plan to utilize this in conjunction with my online lessons and videos in order to reach more students with diverse abilities and primary languages.

Horrible Application Given the Size of the Company

The Google translate app is a joke. There are very few apps that can lead someone to yell expletives while sitting in their kitchen trying to enjoy a cup of tea. Editing something you’ve written on the Google Translate App is a pitiful process filled with tapping the screen of your phone over and over attempting to unselect individual words or sentences. Sometimes it selects the entirety of what you’ve written and won’t allow you to unselect it without a fight. It’s unconscionable that the process for editing what you’ve written doesn’t follow every other smart phone format. Not only that, when you’ve finished writing of considerable length, in my case an email, and would like to highlight, copy and paste it, you will quickly realize you cannot highlight and scroll at the same time like you can on any other apple app that includes type. Instead, you’re forced to go through a ridiculous process of highlighting as much as you can see, pasting it, returning to the app, copying more and then pasting that. I repeated that process six time before I had copied my email over to gmail. If I had more time I would go into detail about the “define” tool that pops up unprovoked and further adds to the absolute farce that is the UX of this application. For a company like Google to have produced such a dysfunctional infuriating UI is truly shameful.

How to translate live conversations with google translate.

With Google Translate, you have a translator in your pocket. You can translate and transcribe live audio -- including conversations -- in real time.

Key Takeaways

• Google Translate offers multiple options for live audio translation, making it convenient for various situations.
• You can use Google Translate's audio translation features to translate short utterances, but also much longer lectures and even conversations.
• Some of the features support only a few selected languages, while others are much more universal.

Thanks to the wonders of online translators, the barriers between various languages are starting to slowly disappear. Even now, you can easily go to a website in another language, and in just a few clicks Google Translate will quickly and quite correctly translate it for you.

However, even though translating the written word seems to be quite easy nowadays, there is still another, much bigger problem -- translating live audio. It comes with its own set of much bigger challenges - people speak with different accents and different speeds, and they can also make mistakes when talking. That’s why translating speech is so much more difficult and not as widespread.

How to use Google Translate in various useful ways

That said, if you go on a vacation abroad, and want to order something in a local restaurant or are asking the locals for directions, you have a way to translate audio on your phone. Google Translate has quite a few audio translating features that can help you communicate and understand. Here's how to translate live audio with Google Translate.

Can Google Translate translate live audio?

Google Translate not only has the ability to translate live audio for you -- it even offers multiple ways of doing it so that it fits well in different situations. Admittedly, some of them are still a bit limited when it comes to the number of languages that they support, but still, having more options that make different situations much more convenient is a great plus. You can even use some of these features with your Google Pixel Buds , so the audio is translated in real-time straight into your ears, making for a near-seamless experience.

Best travel tech: 10 must-have items to buy before you fly

Option 1: live audio translation: basic translation.

Right now, you can find three different live audio translation modes within Google Translate. The first, a basic one, offers you the biggest versatility when it comes to languages, but it has limitations when it comes to the length of the sentences that it translates. The first time you pause, it'll translate what was said, and to continue with the translation, you'll have to ask it to translate once again.

Option 2: Transcribe mode: Translate and transcribe audio

The second mode is geared towards much longer translations. It's called a Transcribe mode, and it allows you to translate indefinitely, so time is no object here. You can also simultaneously get a text transcription that you can save and store for later use.

The downside, though, is that this mode does not support many languages -- for now, it only works between English and Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, and Thai.

Option 3: Conversation mode:Translate live conversations

The last translation mode is geared towards a two-speaker translation and is aptly named Conversation mode. You can use it to auto-detect speakers and translate what they're saying, helping you communicate with people without speaking their language.

No matter which of these translation modes is the most convenient for your use, you can use all of them in the mobile Google Translate app. If you do not yet have it, you can get it on both Android and iOS .

This Google Pixel Buds feature is the translation hack you need

How to translate live audio in google translate.

Google Translate Live Audio Translation is great for quickly translating short phrases or questions. It's straightforward: speak, and the app translates and displays the text almost instantly. This feature is perfect for travelers or anyone needing a fast translation for simple things like directions or greetings. The only drawback is having to the mic again for each new translation, which can be a bit cumbersome for longer chats.

This basic audio translation mode is extremely quick and easy to set up, letting you start translating audio in a matter of seconds.

Here's how to use it on your phone:

Live audio translation

• Open the Google Translate app.
• Set the language that you want to translate from by clicking the language bar on the left .
• Set the language that you want to translate to by clicking the language bar on the right .
• At the bottom of the screen you’ll see a microphone icon . Tap it to start recording live audio and getting it translated.
• Once you finish speaking, the translation will appear on the screen . You can also tap the speaker icon on the left under the translation to play the translated version in the other language.

Note that you'll get the best results if you keep your phone as close to the source of the audio as possible . If your phone stops translating in this mode, you can just tap the microphone icon once again to turn translation on once again.

How to transcribe live audio with Google Translate

If you need to translate longer audio, transcription mode is the way to go. It takes things up a notch by handling longer pieces of audio, such as lectures or speeches, and turning them into translated text in real-time. It's a boon for students or professionals attending events in other languages, providing a way to follow along and save what's being said for later review.

Transcribe mode

• At the bottom of the screen you'll see a microphone icon . Tap it to start recording live audio and getting it translated.
• Don't start recording audio yet. Instead, at the bottom of the translation panel (just above the bars where you choose your languages) you should see a Transcribe option. Tap it.
• Now you should be in transcription mode. You can start transcribing the audio by tapping the microphone icon .
• Once you're done with transcribing, tap the Stop button.
• You can save your transcription by tapping the Star icon in the top right corner.
• In the pop-up menu, name your recording and tap Save to keep it for later.

One of the most convenient translation features in Google Translate is the ability to help you with conversations in different languages. It's all about making bilingual conversations smooth and natural, by detecting who's speaking and then translating on the fly.

This is handy in social situations or meetings where participants don't share a common language, enabling everyone to keep up without a translator.

Here's how to use the two-sided translation feature in the app:

Conversation mode

• On the bottom left of the screen you'll see a Conversation icon. Tap on it.
• Google Translate will automatically detect which of the two languages is being spoken and translate it to the other one on your screen. When the speaker changes, the app also changes the language it’s translating.
• You can also make the conversation even easier by splitting the screen into two translation sides -- one for your chosen language, the other for the other language. In order to do so, tap on the Speech bubbles icon at the top right of the screen.

Which Google Translate feature should you use?

The table below provides a quick reference to determine which Google Translate feature best fits your specific situation, whether you're looking to translate short-term interactions, attending longer lectures or seminars, or participating in bilingual conversations.

The app allows you to save favorite phrases that you use often so you can easily pull them up when you need them. 

The free version of iTranslate offers speaking and typing options. It’s incredibly user-friendly and easy to navigate.

This tool offers a dictionary, thesaurus and translator all in one. When you start typing, it offers some autofill answers along with the language (indicated by a flag icon).

ProZ has a section devoted to difficult translation terms where the users volunteer and help each other find the best translation. All the questions asked in that section get saved into a humongous online dictionary that includes words in many languages and covers many different topics.

Enter the word you want to translate, choose your language pair (Spanish to English) and get ready for the magic to happen in front of your eyes. You will get not just a simple translation, but a list of all the entries containing that word.

Click on the translation that suits you most and another tab will open where you can see a discussion related to that term with links to back the translation.

If you already know WordReference, you probably know it is one of the best online resources in the history of the internet.

When you enter a word in the search bar, you first have an audio of the word and its phonetic transcription. Then you have all (and I mean all) the different translations of the word, together with any collocation or expression that contains it.

If you go back up to the word’s audio and take a look under it, you will discover links to amazing features such as a definition of your word, Spanish and English conjugators, synonyms, collocations and even a context and image search option (which generates a Google word search and an Google image search, respectively).

If you want to go even further with Spanish slang, you can check out Gritty Spanish , an audio program that focuses on “grittier” Spanish vocabulary and ties it all together with dialogues so you can hear words and phrases being used in context. You can read our review of Gritty Spanish here .

Translator tools can be useful, but they’re not perfect. For example, most translators don’t recognize colloquialisms, euphemisms or slang and will generate a direct, literal translation.

If you’re looking for a translation of slang, try to use a tool specifically geared towards this use (like #24 on the list) or a slang dictionary like Urban Dictionary . You can also just Google the slang word or phrase + “meaning.” 

If the translated text doesn’t sound quite natural, try translating individual words and phrases. Or try translating from English to Spanish and then back to English (or vice versa) to see if anything doesn’t quite compute.

This step will help you produce better-translated text in the future. If you can note that certain words or phrases don’t translate accurately, you can avoid using them in the future when using a translator tool. 

Because translators aren’t perfect, reviewing a computer-translated document or chunk of text is an important step. A few short texts might turn out perfectly accurate, but a human touch can make it sound more natural. 

Scan for errors and anything that sounds awkward. Note phrases that don’t seem right and compare them to the original text to see what happened and how to correct it. This is also a valuable step in your learning process. 

Some translator tools can translate text spoken through a built-in or attached microphone on your computer or phone. This is a great way to practice your Spanish!

If you’re speaking clearly, the translator should be able to translate everything you say back into English. If it doesn’t translate correctly, try again until it does. You’ll improve your pronunciation while getting the translations you need. 

A lot of the translation services offer audio versions of the translations, and they’re often spoken slowly for comprehension. Say the words along with the recording to help you get the exact pronunciation down. 

Next, try saying them without the recording to see if you still remember what you learned. This will help you practice your reading, listening and speaking skills all at the same time.

As you can see from this list, there are some amazing apps out there for you to explore and add to your language toolkit. 

Make sure that you pair these with other apps that will boost your Spanish level and reduce your need for emergency translation.
