About Microsoft Translator
Microsoft Translator translates typed text, speech, photos of menus and street signs, websites and documents. Its apps run on Android, iOS and Windows, and translation is also built into Bing and an Outlook add-in. A multi-device conversation mode lets people speaking different languages follow a live, translated conversation on their own devices.
Offline translation is available in the apps for travel without a connection. Businesses and developers can use the same engine through the Translator API and Speech service in Azure, which is billed separately from the consumer apps.
