Google to update mobile translation app soon: reportJanuary 12, 2015 - 10:02 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Following the launch of Microsoft’s Skype Translator service, Google will soon update its mobile translation app to recognize speech in a range of languages and turn into text, The Next Web reports. Google’s will announce the update to its Android app soon. The new feature should make it easier for language learners, travelers and businessmen to communicate with foreign language speakers. Besides, Google will reportedly launch a service to automatically translate foreign text into a native language on a smartphone, simply by pointing user’s device’s camera at, say, a street sign. That technology actually exists in the form of an Android, Google Glass and iOS app called Word Lens. Google acquired Quest Visual, the startup behind the app last May — so it’s likely that the aforementioned service will be a revamped and rebranded effort that ties into Google’s ecosystem, TNW says.
