The Pixel 6 will be able to “Live Translate” incoming messages, text in your camera viewfinder, and transcribed audio — even when offline.
As one of the many benefits of built-in Tensor machine learning, the Pixel 6 will be able to “Live Translate” incoming messages, text in your camera viewfinder, and transcribed audio — even when offline. Over the years, Google Translate has steadily gained a reputation for aiding communication across languages, even being integrated into services like Twitter and YouTube. In many cases, you need an internet connection to use Google Translate, but the Android app allows you to download certain languages for offline translations. With the machine learning prowess of the Pixel 6 series’ Tensor chip, Google is introducing a suite of features it calls “Live Translate” that can work using downloaded language models. In addition to making translation available while offline, doing translations directly on your device also allows more potential for privacy.
