Microsoft Artificial Intelligence Translation



 WHAT IS MICROSOFT TRANSLATOR?

We recently became aware of an exciting new technology from Microsoft Garage - a research incubator arm of the company - called Translator. This free artificial intelligence PowerPoint add-in can convert more than 60 languages bi-directionally. Let's say that you are entertaining a group of students from China who have limited English skills. Using Translator, the spoken words appear as captions in the targeted language - in real time. To start Translator, simply click the option on the ribbon.





This feature can also be used for audiences who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Additionally, up to 100 audience members in the room can follow along with the presentation in their own language, including the speaker’s language, on their phone, tablet or computer. 



KEY FEATURES

Live subtitling: Speak in any of the 10 supported speech languages – Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish – and subtitle into any one of the 60+ text translation languages.

Customized speech recognition: Optionally customize the speech recognition engine using the vocabulary within your slides and slide notes to adapt to jargon, technical terms, product or place names, etc. Customization is currently available for English and Chinese.

Personal translations: Share a QR- or five letter conversation code and your audience can follow along with your presentation, on their own device, in their chosen language.

Multi-language Q&A: Unmute the audience to allow questions from the audience on their device in any of the supported languages (10 for spoken questions, 60+ for written ones)

Inclusivity through Accessibility: Help audience members who are deaf or hard of hearing follow the presentation, and participate in the discussion.

Translate your presentation while preserving the slide formatting: Next to the "Start Subtitles" icon, the "Translate Slides" button allows presenters to translate their whole presentation while preserving its formatting.
