Microsoft Translator Pro app updates

Microsoft Translator Pro is a mobile app, designed specifically for enterprises, that enables seamless real-time speech-to-speech translation. The following new and updated capabilities are now available:

  • Enhanced administrator experience. The history section now includes options for recording transcript and audio, exporting sessions/audio, sharing sessions, and toggling transcript/audio history without exporting to cloud storage. Additionally, administrators can now enable or disable the use of a custom phrasebook and easily browse the current phrasebook.
  • Added content filtering. Administrators can now enable or disable content filtering and censoring, providing greater control over content visibility.
  • Enabled full screen mode. A full screen viewing option is now available, enabling translations to be viewed on a single screen rather than a split-screen view.
  • Expanded source language support. Translation source language support is broadened to include all languages.

January 2025

Microsoft Translator Pro, a speech-to-speech translation mobile app, is now generally available (GA).

May 2024

A single API is now available for both asynchronous batch and synchronous single document translation operations.

February 2024

The Document translation API now supports two translation operations:

  • Asynchronous Batch document translation supports asynchronous processing of multiple documents and files. The batch translation process requires an Azure Blob storage account with containers for your source and translated documents.

  • Synchronous document translation supports synchronous processing of single file translations. The file translation process doesn't require an Azure Blob storage account. The final response contains the translated document and is returned directly to the calling client.
