Google Translate was created with the mission of 'enabling people to understand each other regardless of language.' What started as a small experiment has now become a global tool that is useful and loved by people all over the world.

To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Google Translate has released a highly requested pronunciation practice feature. This feature uses AI to analyze speech and provide instant feedback, allowing users to learn correct pronunciation before starting actual conversations. The pronunciation practice feature is available on the Android version of the Google Translate app from the United States and India. Supported languages are English, Spanish, and Hindi.

It's easy to use: after translating the text, tap 'Practice' in the bottom center of the screen.



Tap 'Pronounce'.



The system then displays how to pronounce the sentence. After you read the sentence aloud yourself, you can listen to a machine-generated example to practice.



According to Google, Google Translate has been using AI and machine learning since its launch. Back in 2006, translation relied on statistical machine learning . At that time, a key element in achieving more fluent and natural translations was research into how to maintain larger and more accurate language models (models that capture the frequency of occurrence of words and short phrases) across trillions of words.



However, Google Translate underwent a major migration to neural networks in 2016, proving that deep learning can function on a global scale and truly benefit people's lives.
