How Google’s Real-Time Translation Works with Any Wireless Earbuds

brought its Gemini AI models to Google Translate in August to enhance the translation experience for users, as well as to introduce new features to the app, including support for real-time translation for face-to-face conversations. This feature would facilitate communication with locals while traveling if you don’t share a common language. However, it was initially available only in beta and restricted to users in the U.S., Mexico, and India. Additionally, real-time translation initially functioned solely with Pixel wireless earphones. Fast-forward to mid-December, and Google is set to broaden the availability of real-time translation by enabling Google Translate users to utilize any type of wireless earphones while accessing the feature.

Google stated in a blog post that the capability to hear real-time translation through your headphones remains a beta experience rather than a finished product. “This new experience aims to maintain the tone, emphasis, and rhythm of each speaker to produce more natural translations and simplify following who said what,” Google mentioned. The feature is also applicable to other scenarios where users might benefit from real-time translation, such as listening to a speech or lecture or viewing content in various languages.

The beta remains accessible in the same three regions: the U.S., Mexico, and India. Moreover, only Android device users can avail themselves of real-time translations via headphones while using Google Translate, but Google indicates it will introduce the feature to iPhone next year. Google will also add more languages in 2026, in addition to the 70+ languages currently available. To utilize real-time translation in Google Translate while wearing headphones, one simply needs to open the app and click the “Live translate” button, provided the language is supported.

Prized Retro Technology Items Possibly Concealed in Your Loft

an unopened iPhone in pristine condition. Yet, well-maintained second-hand items can still command respectable, if not transformative, prices. Even non-functioning gadgets can yield profits if they’re unique or have interesting features. The item’s backstory can also enhance its value. If, like certain original owners mentioned here, you’re an astronaut or a groundbreaking law student, the treasures you discover in your attic are likely to be more sought after.

Collectible technology is significantly younger than most other forms of vintage collectibles, which may take centuries to gain appeal. Sentimentality plays a crucial role. Individuals who enjoyed the first NES consoles during their childhood are now adults, some of whom are quite affluent. If it turns out you lack items that collectors are willing to pay a premium for, there’s always an alternative. Acquire some groundbreaking technology now, perhaps Steam’s latest VR headset, store it away unused, and hope that in 20 to 30 years, it will fund your retirement.

Austin Butler’s 2025 Crime Thriller Achieves Cult Following on Netflix Despite Initial Underperformance

Deadline), the film has earned only $32.7 million (via Box Office Mojo), marking it as a financial disappointment. However, regarding audience feedback, it received mostly favorable remarks and achieved an 84% rating from critics’ assessments (via Rotten Tomatoes). Now that it’s available for streaming on Netflix, the film is gaining considerable attention.

“Caught Stealing” has been among the top 10 films on Netflix in the United States since December 5 (via FlixPatrol). It ranks fifth on HBO Max and ninth on Rotten Tomatoes as of December 11. Globally, it is also performing well on various platforms, such as Rakuten TV and LetterboxD. The user ratings on Rotten Tomatoes show a positive 83% score on the Popcornmeter. Some viewers noted that the film evokes memories of “Snatch” and “Smoking Aces” — which share a similar tone, in my opinion — and that its storyline maintains a great rhythm. After viewing the film myself, I also found “Caught Stealing” to be a captivating watch, and while some of the situations are a bit implausible, it’s enjoyable. Moreover, Butler portrays a relatable Hank. At the very least, it’s suitable for a cozy movie night at home with popcorn and a cold drink.
