- What it is
- Google's help page for speaking into the Translate app on Android. It explains the Speak button, how a translation can be spoken aloud, and how speech settings change the output.
- How much weight it carries
- Google's own help page, read on 2026-10-17. It describes the Android app only, and Google revises its help pages often, so button names can change. The page does not list every supported language.
Facts taken from this source
- On Android, you tap Speak and wait for the prompt 'Speak now' before you say what you want translated.
“After it says "Speak now," say what you want to translate.” (Help page text)
- Google's help says that when the Speak button is disabled, the spoken language cannot be translated.
“If this button is disabled, the spoken language can't be translated.” (Translate by speech, Android steps)
