Learning a foreign language is quite challenging. Learning all those unusual alphabets can take time.

There are various tools available today to help you learn a new language easily.

These headphones now have a real-time translation feature that lets you translate forty different languages in real-time.

So, you can talk to a stranger or a co-worker in their language instantly.

Like Alexa and Siri, Google Assistant is the voice assistant of Google.

Since its launch in 2016, it has made huge progress in expanding its services to a wide range of devices and including multiple functions.

Like other devices, you can now have Google Assistant in your headphones.

Before you decide to buy one of these amazing headphones you should first know what Google Assistant can do for you.

What Can Google Assistant Do?

To start using Google Assistant, all you need to say is “OK Google”, or “Hey Google”.

It will work with voice searching, voice commands, and voice-activated device control.

So, you can ask it to check appointments, send messages, etc. on your Android device.

Here are the major functions of Google Assistant:

• It controls your devices and smart home. • It can access your personal information from your device. • It can search for information online, for example, the address of the restaurant, weather news, etc. • It can give you reminders of events. • It can read your notifications. • It has real-time spoken translation option which will let you conduct a conversation in various languages. • It can check in to specific flights, like the United Airlines. • It can book a room in selected hotels like InterContinental Hotels Group, Expedia, Choice Hotels, etc. • It can help to navigate you in Google Maps.

Once you start your conversation with the Google Assistant, it will recognize your voice profile and next time will tailor your responses accordingly.

That is, it will be able to interact with you in a smart way.

The Interpreter Mode of Google Assistant is something that has been launched recently.

It provides real-time written and spoke translation to help in conversation.

Google Assistant was first launched on the Google Home and Google Pixel smartphones.

Now it is available in all the modern Android devices and iPhone as well.

This will let you get an AI assistant without opening your phone.

You will only need to press a button to start your conversation with Google Assistant.

The headphones don’t trigger the Google Assistant on the phone and then relay the information.

They, in fact, run it natively and so you get a faster experience.

The Google Assistant will be able to read your incoming notifications aloud without the need for you to pull out your mobile phone.

So, it will give you a completely hands-free experience.

Google Pixel Buds

Google Pixel Buds are one of the best headphones available right now that has Google Assistant. It connects over Bluetooth to the device.

The audio is of very high quality.

Cons • Sometimes, it can be hard to connect with other devices. • The background noise cannot be cancelled.

Language Translation Feature in Google Assistant

The real-time language translation feature in Google Assistant headphones is a real breakthrough technology that helps people with learning and understanding different languages.

So, how do Google Assistant enabled headphones to help with language translation?

You need to first activate these features is to hold down the Google Assistant button on the headphones and say, for example, help me interpret German’ or help me speak German’.

This will open the Google Translate app on the phone and you can start the conversation mode.

The headphones will send a message to your phone.

Then the translation will be typed out on the phone and it will be read aloud in your chosen language.

Pros Using Google Assistant headphones you will now be able to talk to someone who doesn’t speak your language.

It was initially limited to Google Pixel earbuds, but now it is available in other devices as well.

This translation feature is very helpful when you travel a lot to foreign countries or when you have clients, suppliers or employees from different countries.

It currently supports the most spoken languages.

Cons The quality of the translation is not as expected.

It can translate the basic questions such as here is the nearest coffee shop’, but it cannot translate more complex sentences properly.

Also, if the accent of the person speaking is a bit different, then the Google Assistant will be totally lost.

It is very difficult to get the natural language right.

Conclusion

Currently, it supports about 40 different languages including English, French, German, Chinese, Greek, Italian, Russian, Thai, Dutch, Arabic, Bengali, and other languages.

In the future, more languages will be included.

Machine learning will also improve in the future allowing more natural translation of sentences.

The translation feature of Google Assistant headphones has made it easy to learn foreign languages.

It helps people to communicate instantly with someone speaking in another language in real time, even if that person doesn’t know that language.

This feature will help people in travelling to different countries.

It will also help businesses to communicate with their international partners and coworkers.

You should buy Google Pixel earbuds to use this feature and you won’t be disappointed.

Though there are some translation issues for complex sentences, we hope to see an upgraded version of Google Assistant translation feature soon.

The field of artificial intelligence has become advanced and soon you will find a more natural translation on Google Assistant.
