Translate Speech on the fly with iTranslate Voice for iOS

Written by Damien on August 9, 2013 with 2 Comments

Today I want to talk about an impressive app I recently found out about. It’s called iTranslate Voice. One of my biggest fears about traveling around the world is not being able to speak any other language other than English. What happens if you need directions while in Japan? I can’t even begin to sound out their words. This is where the beauty of iTranslate Voice is. Instead of grunting at a person like a caveman and pointing at things, or trying to slowly speak your own language in hopes that they’ll somehow understand you, use iTranslate Voice.

In this article I’ll go over some of the awesome features of iTranslate Voice and give a little preview on how to properly use it. Trust me, this app isn’t something you want to miss out on.

In an earlier post I explained how to enable and use dictation, in this article go over some simple tips and tricks as well as some other features that really bring out the functionality of dictation on a Mac. For those of you who don’t know what dictation is, it is a tool built into your Mac that automatically transcribes your speech into words.

In fact, everything you are reading right now has been “written” with dictation.

“Writing” this post with dictation could go either way, it could be fun and useful or just an outright pain, I’ll let you know how it goes at the end.
