Samsung has been making waves with the new AI features on the Galaxy S24 series, and you’ve probably already seen the “Samsung AI is here” slogan everywhere. One of the standout features is the Live Translate function for calls, which allows you to communicate in different languages seamlessly. In this article, we’ll dive into how to activate Live Translate and whether Samsung’s AI performs well in real-time translations.
**How to activate Live Translate:**
– Access Phone → Triple dot menu → Settings
– Locate the Live Translate sub-menu and toggle it on
– Choose default languages for translation
When making a call, you’ll notice a Call Assist button on the screen. By tapping it, you can access two AI-assisted features: text-to-speech and Live Translate. The call is transcribed in real-time on your screen, allowing you to follow along easily.
**Does Samsung’s Live Translate work effectively?**
Once activated, the AI informs the other caller that the call is being translated, causing a brief pause. However, we found that Samsung’s Live Translate can be slow in processing translations. The delay from speaking to hearing the translated message can result in awkward pauses during conversations.
While you have the option to mute original voices and listen only to AI output, we recommend against it as it can disrupt the flow of conversation. Additionally, there were instances where translations were inaccurate or voice generation errors occurred during our testing.
Overall, Samsung’s Live Translate feature shows promise but may benefit from further refinement for smoother and more accurate translations during calls. It’s a step in the right direction for AI technology in smartphones but still needs some fine-tuning before becoming a go-to tool for multilingual communication.
