Usually, there are many people who can check the meaning of English words, check their pronunciation, or use Google Translate, but in addition to this, you can now check their pronunciation. On November 14th (local time), Google added the ability to practice pronunciation when searching for a word through the Google app for mobile. However, what is available is still limited to American English. Spanish is expected to be released sooner or later.
You could still check your pronunciation, but a new feature is to point out strange places when you pronounce yourself through the smartphone microphone. Machine learning is used to determine pronunciation.
In addition, the image may appear when translating English words or checking their meaning. It doesn’t appear on every word, but it is said that it will start with a noun and expand gradually. This feature is also limited to English words, but it seems to be helpful in understanding unfamiliar words.
Google says advances in speech recognition and machine learning will improve language learning methods. The new features added are also planned to be expanded to more languages and regions in the future. Related information can be found here .
