Google has launched a new AI-powered pronunciation practice tool for Google Translate, designed to help users improve their enunciation when learning a new language. The feature analyzes a user’s speech and provides instant feedback before they attempt a real conversation in their chosen language.
The tool became available on April 28, 2026, for Android users in the United States and India, with support for English, Spanish, and Hindi. Google has not announced whether the feature will expand to other regions or become available on iOS.
The launch is part of Google’s 20th anniversary celebrations for its Translate service. The company described pronunciation practice as “one of our most requested features.” Google noted a resemblance to pronunciation tools found in Duolingo’s language learning app.
To mark the anniversary, Google also shared usage figures for its translation services. Google Translate currently attracts more than one billion monthly users, and approximately one trillion words are translated each month across Google’s Translate, Search, Lens, and Circle to Search products combined.
