Microsoft’s translator app trumps Google Translate

With the all-new Microsoft Translator for Apple Watch and Android Wear, just speak into your watch to get instant translations in 50 languages.

Microsoft Translator provides several benefits to Apple Watch wearers. This includes a variety of new entries for both Apple Watch and Android Wear. Basic actions like archiving and deleting are, of course, available as well as quick replies either with canned responses or voice. Microsoft has also redesigned Wunderlist’s Glance screen with support for up to four to-do items. Speak into it, then receive your desired translation.

These two are updated versions of existing apps for Android, which offer a few new features. “No matter where you go, Android Wear lets you stay on track while freeing your hands for an ice-cream cone-or two”, wrote Greenwood.

Android Wear apps rely on some fairly generic swipes, swipe right for more, left for back or to close for instance, and there’s not much you can do with an interface, really. Hopefully you don’t have incriminating content there. Especially useful if you’re invested in the Microsoft ecosystem but (understandably) don’t want to use the Microsoft Band.

OneNote also uses voice recognition to make it easier to create or access notes. You’ll also be able to see your recently viewed notes, so no need to scramble for your smartphone when you need it at that very moment.

According to various reports, Microsoft has launched an Android and iOS app dubbed “Translator” that can translate your text or speech into 50 different languages.

Called Microsoft Translator, the app is pretty straightforward; type or speak your query, choose the language you want your query translated into, and that’s it. You can pin the results for later, giving you the opportunity to save up a list of common phrases to refer to later. No more frantic typing.
