SpeechTrans Translation App Available on Android Devices

SpeechTrans, a provider of app-based multilanguage translation, today launched its SpeechTrans Ultimate App for Android devices.

The app turns talk from one language into voice output to another by enabling text-to-text, text-to-speech, and two-way speech-to-speech communication translations in multiple languages. Two-way speech communications are enabled for English, UK English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Italian, German and Mandarin Chinese. Text-to-Speech is available for the preceding languages as well as Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Dutch, Swedish, and Arabic.

SpeechTrans allows speech-to-speech Facebook's chat translation into the app, which gives users the ability to communicate with anyone on Facebook in their chosen languages. Users can speak aloud into their Android device and SpeechTrans will translate the content into the recipient's native language via the Facebook chat interface in near real time.

Android app users can store and play back translations, a valuable feature for communicating frequently asked questions or phrases and to enable usage without an internet connection. The SpeechTrans Ultimate app is now compatible with both Android and iPhone devices, allowing users of the different platforms to engage in translated conversations. Unlimited transcriptions are offered for the Android app, which encourages users to freely experiment with the service without the worry of running out of transcriptions.

The automatic speech recognition technology used in SpeechTrans Ultimate is powered by Nuance Communications.

"We are very proud to offer SpeechTrans Ultimate for Android users, as part of our continuing goal of eliminating language barriers from personal communication," said Yan Auerbach, cofounder of SpeechTrans. "SpeechTrans Ultimate for Android offers users maximum flexibility with unlimited translations, which encourages people to use it frequently without hesitation. Availability for Android devices with our unique Facebook chat integration helps us bring real-time accurate translation to an ever larger global audience."

The SpeechTrans Ultimate Android app is available exclusively on the SpeechTrans Web site. Unlimited-use packages start at $9.99 per month or $6.99 a month for a six-month term, and $4.99 a month for a 12-month term.
