Microsoft is working on a new translation app for Windows Phone
In the technology market, renewal and constant growth are essential values for success. Something that Microsoft knows well and tries to exploit in this new stage in which it tries to improve and satisfy the needs of its users on any platform. Also in the mobiles, where it seems that these users are always left aside, at least by other companies and developers.But not by Microsoft herself, who has been spotted working on various enhancements to her translation app
The information comes through the leak of the beta version or tests of this renewed translation application, from which The blog has echoed WindowsBlogItalia. Thus, several screenshots have been released that show how this tool will look, in addition to the different additions that it will bring with it when it lands definitively in the store Windows Phone Store And, although it is already here, it is not yet available to all users, acting as a private beta for test and find bugs before releasing to the public
For now, the most noteworthy thing is the change in appearance of this tool compared to its previous version.And it is that they have chosen to place all forms of translation on their main screen to save time and steps for the user Whereas before it was necessary to choose the input languages first and output and then move on to enter text or take a picture, now all of this is on the main screen. Just click on the bottom part to choose the languages, or directly on the text box where you can enter the words or phrases you want to translate.
The interesting thing is that the language packs can be downloaded to continue using this application even without Internet connection Once chosen, all that remains is to translate the text or click on the microphone icon, which allows to speak to translate and transcribe what was said in the chosen language, or the camera icon to take a picture and make a translation of a text already printedA complete convenience to avoid wasting time entering it manually.
The other change that can be seen is in the result of the translations. Thus, now grouped on the same screen are shown for the user's convenience, regardless of whether they are text, voice, or photo translations.
However, no brand new features are appreciated Rather a design change that helps make the experience of use is radically different, much more agile and comfortable. Of course they are just screenshots of a version beta We will still have to wait to see the definitive version, where new improvements and tweaks are expected, and perhaps some extra feature that defends the position of Microsoft also in the field of translation.Even more so after introducing simultaneous translation into Skype conversations over the past year.
