Skype's new app to translate voice calls in real time

In order to provide a sneak peek into a new feature being introduced on the software, Skype will translate voice calls between people on Tuesday.

Skype Translator will make it possible for English and Spanish speakers to communicate with each other without having to learn either of the two languages.

The app is being marketed as a tool for schools.

According to a report by The Verge, the preview will be available on Windows 8.1 or preview copies of Windows 10 and will function by translating voice inputs from an English or Spanish speaker into text and translated audio.

Microsoft earlier demonstrated the technology working between English and German.
