From there, it uses a translation engine based on the Bing Translator to convert the text to the target language. Using Microsoft’s deep neural networks, Skype recognizes the spoken word, and then converts that into text. So, how exactly does this crazy translation system work? In an in-depth post on the Skype blog, Mo Ladha and Chris Wendt break down the technical aspects of Skype Translator. Thankfully, that’s bound to change when this feature is fully baked.

On top of that, this preview program only works on Windows 8.x and the Windows 10 Technical Preview, so Skype fans on other platforms are currently left out in the cold. While it can translate instant messages in any of over 40 languages, this early build can only translate voice chat in Spanish and English. It still has a long way to go before it’s ready for prime time, but this is a major step forward for worldwide communication.Įarlier this week, Microsoft released a preview version of Skype Translator to the public.
The Skype Translator preview is currently available for download, and offers Windows users the ability to voice chat with each other using two different languages.
Remember the Babel Fish from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy? The tiny organism that automatically translates any spoken word into your native tongue? While that continues to remain limited to the realm of snarky British science fiction, Microsoft is working hard to make on-the-fly translation feasible for everyone.
