I would bet at some point you have wanted to talk to someone that didn’t speak the same language. That can be impossible in many instances leaving you to try to mime what you are saying to the person. A new app has landed on Android called SpeechTrans that can turn speech from one language into voice output for anther. The app has text-to-text and text-to-speech translation.

The app also supports two-way speech communications for English, UK English, Spanish, French, Japanese, German, and Mandarin Chinese. Also supported is speech-to-speech translation for users that are talking over Facebook what interface in near real-time. Presumably that means the delay in translating is very short.

The app allows for the storing and plays back of translations for common questions and phrases. This app has been on the iPhone previously and has just now come to the Android platform. The behind the scenes tech is from Nuance. The app starts at $9.99 monthly if you choose month-to-month or $6.99 monthly with a 6-month contract. A year agreement gets the app for $4.99 monthly.

  1. English and UK English? Surely they are one and the same language?
    Spain = Spanish, France = French, England = English, America = American, etc.
    If anything, it should be English and US English if there is a noticeable variant.
