Skype's new app will provide 'real time translations' during voice calls

In order to provide a sneak peek into a new feature being introduced on the software, Skype will translate voice calls between people today.

Skype Translator will make it possible for English and Spanish speakers to communicate with each other without having to learn either of the two languages, reported The Verge.

The preview will be available on Windows 8.1 or preview copies of Windows 10 and will function by translating voice inputs from an English or Spanish speaker into text and translated audio. Microsoft earlier demonstrated the technology working between English and German.

Skype Translator is being marketed as a tool for schools.
