Microsoft Translator is here to help you and connect with people from around the globe \u2013 whether you are travelling and or navigating unfamiliar streets. We have worked hard to design a user-friendly, accessible and intuitive interface and upgraded it with advanced AI technologies. Discover what\u2019s new in this free app: <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/app\/microsoft-translator\/id1018949559\">Microsoft Translator on the App Store (apple.com)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Language centric translation with rolling history<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With an intuitive interface built on top of <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/products\/cognitive-services\/#overview\">upgraded Azure Cognitive Services<\/a> providing real-time translations, Microsoft Translator app allows you to translate text, speech, and images in more than 100 languages without having to worry about changing languages as you hop from speech translation to image translation or to text translation. Start by selecting your translation languages and the app will indicate which modes are supported for the language pair, such as speech translation, image translation and\/or text translation. View your translation history on the same page as you continue translating new phrases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Improved speech translation experience with continuous Language Identification (LID)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ui-provider cdo cdp c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t cdq cdr w x y z ab ac ae af ag ah ai aj ak\" dir=\"ltr\">Our most exciting new advancement is an improved speech translation experience which lets AI auto-detect your spoken language. We have incorporated a new AI technology in Cognitive Services, continuous Language Identification (LID), into speech translation where two people can have natural and continuous conversations without the interruption of selecting source\/target audio languages or tapping the microphone each time someone speaks. We have added a new microphone with stars icon which appears when both selected languages support continuous LID.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Improved image translation experience<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We transitioned from an offline OCR (Optical Character Recognition) engine to the best-in-class online OCR engine powered by Azure Cognitive Services. This new experience offers high quality image translation with expanded language coverage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Enriched multi-device conversation with transcript and auto-generated meeting topics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Want to have long conversations with someone or a group who is not fluent in your language? Use the conversation feature by tapping on the icon located on top-right corner of the app to transcribe a single person\u2019s speech or translate multiple users within a group. Stay on top of conversations by accessing the transcripts and using meeting topics to navigate within a transcript.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t let language barriers hold you back. With support for more than 100 languages (<a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/applanguages\">https:\/\/aka.ms\/applanguages<\/a>), you\u2019ll be able to communicate with ease. Download <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/app\/microsoft-translator\/id1018949559\">Microsoft Translator app<\/a> now and see how you can connect with people from different cultures and backgrounds.
