Google Translate has officially launched a new feature, letting users practice their pronunciation and enunciation of words and phrases in different languages.
In line to celebrate its 20 years, Google stated that this feature resembles Duolingo in how it lets you practice speaking words and sentences.
When you translate a word, sentence, or phrase, you can navigate into the “Practice” menu to find a “Pronounce” button, which shows you phonetics that you can say out loud to practice speaking the translated text.
The app then scores your pronunciation and gives you feedback, like “Some sounds were a little unclear.” You can listen to the app’s pronunciation of the text, too.
Google, in a blog post, said: "Tapping “Pronounce” will let you speak it and have AI “analyze your speech and provide instant feedback.” Google Translate pronunciation practice is available on Android in the US and India in English, Spanish, and Hindi."
Last month, the company rolled out its live headphone translation feature to iOS, and expanded its availability on Android devices to Germany, Spain, France, Nigeria, Italy, the United Kingdom, Japan, Bangladesh, and Thailand.
