real-time translation

Simultaneous language conversion

Real-time translation is the conversion of speech or text from one language to another as it happens, with minimal delay.

The term distinguishes instant machine translation from traditional methods requiring human translators working after the fact.

The app provides real-time translation of conversations.

The technology appears in video calls, travel apps, and live broadcasts, though accuracy varies with language complexity and speaking speed.
