At Google I/O 2025, Google unveiled a ground breaking feature for Google Meet: real-time speech translation powered by Gemini AI. This innovation aims to bridge language barriers in virtual meetings, allowing participants to communicate seamlessly across different languages.
Key Features
Real-Time Translation: The feature translates spoken words into the listener’s preferred language almost instantaneously, facilitating smooth conversations without delays.
Voice Preservation: Unlike traditional translation tools, this feature retains the speaker’s original voice, tone, and inflection, providing a more natural and personal communication experience.
Initial Language Support: Currently, the feature supports English and Spanish, with plans to expand to Italian, German, and Portuguese in the near future.
Availability
The real-time speech translation is available in beta for subscribers of Google’s AI Pro and AI Ultra plans. Enterprise versions for Workspace business customers are expected to roll out later this year.
