What can the OnePlus Translate app do?
The Translate app on OnePlus smartphones is not a one-trick pony. Apart from basic translation, it can carry out a range of tasks on your phone. Here are the different modes you’ll find on the app.
Translation mode: This basic mode translates the text you feed to the app. You can hit the mic button to dictate the text instead of typing it.
Conversation: If you need help translating what you’re saying and relaying it to another person, use this mode. The app recognises two speakers and seamlessly translates what they’re saying to each other. You don’t need to switch the languages every time you need to translate them.
Live translate: As the name suggests, this mode translates what you’re saying while you’re saying it.
Screen: Can’t recognise the language on your screen? This tool will translate it in no time. This feature can be used to translate messages on WhatsApp.
