How Google Translate's new pronunciation tool works
As reported by TechCrunch, Google Translate now offers pronunciation practice as part of its experience, a la Duolingo. Like Duoligno, Google Translate can listen to your attempt at speaking a specific word, phrase, or sentence, and will offer feedback based on how its AI thinks you did. The app can even offer pronunciation guidance, so you can focus less on trying to sound out the words yourself, and more on how those words phonetically sound. Nick Fox, senior vice president of Knowledge & Information at Google, shared the new feature in an X post on Tuesday:

This pronunciation feature seems like a great addition to one of (if not the) most popular translation apps in the world. And yet, the feature seems to be rolling out both slowly and half-finished. On my Pixel 8 Pro, I don't have the option whatsoever. On my iPhone, I have a similar feature, but not quite what's advertised here. Here's how I've gotten that to work: After translating something, I don't have the "Practice" option at the bottom of the screen. However, I do have a "Speak" option that appears when I hit the speaker button on the translation. This pulls up a very close experience to what was displayed in Fox's post: I get the translation and the ability to speak into the mic, but I don't get the clear phonetic spelling—just the transliteration of it. It's not unhelpful, but the phonetic spelling would be much easier to follow along, especially when I'm trialing Hindi. Unfortunately, I can't read Devanagari characters, so it isn't all that helpful when Google asks me to focus on them while trying to speak.
"Try saying..." doesn't really work when I don't understand the characters, Google.

I look forward to Google expanding the supported languages here, but, for now, anyone looking to learn Spanish or Hindi may find a boost with this feature—assuming it appears on your device.
