There's not a lot of people who haven\u2019t used Google Translate at some point in their lives, and it is available in a desktop or mobile app version. The app can be quite helpful in understanding our interlocutor or a written text while \"on the go\".<\/p>\n<p>If you're planning to use the app while traveling and without 24\/7 internet access, download the language(s) you'll need to communicate before you leave. That way, you'll be able to use all the useful Google Translate features offline.<\/p>\n<p>Today we'll talk about useful Google Translate features that you perhaps didn't know even existed.<\/p>\n<p><em>*Google Translate is not completely accurate and some translations make us laugh out loud. Although technology is progressing rapidly and makes our everyday life easier, machine translation can't replace translators.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0f4c6b;\"><strong>Recognizing Handwriting and Text in Pictures<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Imagine you are in a foreign country and need to follow street signs written in a language you don't understand. Or you go to a restaurant and you can\u2019t figure out what\u2019s on the menu. Google Translate can help you. Simply choose your source and target language, point your phone camera to the text and Google Translate will automatically translate it.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0f4c6b;\">Where to find this useful Google Translate feature:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>open the app on your mobile phone or tablet<\/li>\n<li>choose source and target language<\/li>\n<li>choose Camera option in the bottom left corner<\/li>\n<li>point the camera to the text you want to translate<\/li>\n<li>voil\u00e0, the translation is done<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can translate handwriting the same way. Of course, more readable handwriting equals more accurate translation. Also, you can use the Handwriting option where, instead of typing, you can write the text you want to translate directly on your phone display.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0f4c6b;\"><strong>Translation of Audio<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You're on a trip. Let's say Cuba. You want to get to Playa Paraiso, one of the most beautiful and most popular Cuban beaches, but you don't know how to get there.

If the vocabulary from Mexican soap operas doesn't help, use Google Translate and instantly translate everything Juan says.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0f4c6b;\">Where to find this useful Google Translate feature:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>open the app on your mobile phone or tablet<\/li>\n<li>choose source and target language<\/li>\n<li>tap microphone icon - Voice<\/li>\n<li>bring your phone closer to Juan and ask him how to get to the beach<\/li>\n<li>say thanks for the help and follow the instructions to the beach<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10061\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sinonim.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/useful-google-translate-features-audio-613x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"613\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sinonim.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/useful-google-translate-features-audio-613x1024.png 613w, https:\/\/www.sinonim.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/useful-google-translate-features-audio-180x300.png 180w, https:\/\/www.sinonim.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/useful-google-translate-features-audio-14x24.png 14w, https:\/\/www.sinonim.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/useful-google-translate-features-audio-22x36.png 22w, https:\/\/www.sinonim.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/useful-google-translate-features-audio-29x48.png 29w, https:\/\/www.sinonim.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/useful-google-translate-features-audio.png 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 613px) 100vw, 613px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0f4c6b;\"><strong>Translation of Whole Documents<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>With Google Translate you can translate a whole document in Word, PDF or any other supported format (.doc, .docx, .odf, .pdf, .ppt, .pptx, .ps, .rtf, .txt, .xls ili .xlsx).<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0f4c6b;\">\u00a0Where to find this useful Google Translate feature:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>open the desktop version of Google Translate<\/li>\n<li>choose Documents instead of Text in the upper left corner<\/li>\n<li>choose the document you want translated, as well as your source and target language<\/li>\n<li>click Translate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You will not be able to download the document in the source format, but only to view it on your display.
