Google LLC今天宣布将为其Google Translate应用提供一种新的，基于人工智能的，接近实时的转录功能。

Google Translate will be able to support transcribed translations between any pair of eight languages, including English, French, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Thai.

Google翻译将能够支持任何八种语言之间的转录翻译，包括英语，法语，印地语，葡萄牙语，俄语，西班牙语和泰语。

In a blog post, Google Product Manager Sami Iqram said Translate previously wouldn’t work for longer translated discussions, for example talks at a lecture or a conference or storytelling.

Google said it will bring the feature to the iOS version of the app too but hasn’t said when.

谷歌表示，也将把这一功能引入iOS版本的应用程序，但尚未透露具体时间。

Google said the real-time transcription feature will only work with speech that’s captured by the phone’s microphone, though it hopes to add the ability to transcribe prerecorded audio files at a later date.

谷歌表示，实时转录功能只适用于手机麦克风捕捉到的语音，不过它希望以后能够增加转录预先录制的音频文件的功能。

Google said the transcribed speech will become more accurate over time as the app’s algorithms learn and improve from regular use.
