Skype Translator is part of Skype's mission to make global communication more accessible. People who register now for the closed preview can select their language preferences and help shape the future of the project with their feedback. The Skype team's goal for the project is to incorporate as many languages as they can. According to Microsoft, the technology behind Skype Translator is designed to learn from its users, so the more people test it out, the more intelligent the program becomes.
The program launches with English and Spanish as the only two spoken languages, and over 40 instant messaging languages. Skype Translator will be available in preview form later this month to select Windows 8.1 users who sign up on the program's website.
Just say something into the mic and Skype will play back an audio translation of your message to your conversation partner, along with an on-screen transcript, as demonstrated in the video below. Similar to the universal translators used in Star Trek and other science fiction, Skype Translator allows people who speak different languages to communicate by voice in real-time, with the help of speech recognition and intelligent translation technology.
