Google has launched a new AI-powered feature for Translate that can help you correct and practice your enunciation when learning a new language. The “pronunciation practice” tool analyzes your speech to provide instant feedback on how to improve before jumping into an actual conversation in your chosen language.
The result bears some resemblance to pronunciation features on Duolingo’s language learning app. Google Translate pronunciation practice is available for Android users in the US and India starting today in English, Spanish and Hindi. Google hasn’t announced if or when it will be expanded to other regions or made available for iOS users.
The launch is part of Google’s 20th anniversary celebrations for its translation service, with the company describing pronunciation practice as “one of our most requested features.” Some stats shared alongside the announcement reveal that Google Translate attracts more than one billion monthly users, with around one trillion words translated by the company’s Translate, Search, Lens, and Circle to Search services each month.
