How to use a simultaneous translator

Most of the apps that we will point out in this guide require Internet access to be able to carry out their task correctly: what we pronounce is sent to a dedicated server which, at lightning speed, will provide us with the translated and correctly pronounced text ( it will be enough to let our interlocutor listen).
For best results we recommend that you always connect to a free Wi-Fi hotspot (always available in big cities) or to use the connection LTE or 4G +.

Google translator

The best simultaneous voice translation app is without a doubt Google translator, available free for Android and iPhone.

Microsoft Translator

Another very effective app for using the Voice Translator and translating into two languages ​​simultaneously is Microsoft Translator, also available free for Android and iPhone.

This app aims to soon steal the "scepter" of universal translator from Google Translate by offering a valid offline text translator, an instant translation system for signs and directions displayed with the rear camera and a conversation mode very similar to that seen on the rival app.
Once the app is open, press on Conversation, let's make sure that the reference languages ​​are ours and that of our interlocutor and start speaking, so that we can understand each other without too much difficulty.
The app is quite accurate but slightly inferior to Google Translate with some phrases, which is why it is not yet at the top of the ranking of apps with the best simultaneous translator at the moment.
