| Short summary | Samsung Galaxy Live Translate provides real-time translation of phone calls and messages using on-device AI with Galaxy AI. | AI Translation provides real-time spoken language translation during calls and in-person conversations on OnePlus and Lenovo devices. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Detailed explanation | Galaxy Live Translate uses Samsung's on-device NPU and cloud services to translate phone calls in real-time. The system captures audio, identifies the language pair, and translates speech as it happens. Translation can be displayed as text overlay during calls or as a full transcript afterward. The AI models learn from usage patterns to improve accuracy and support contextual translation. | AI Translation uses cloud-based neural machine translation models to provide real-time speech-to-speech translation. On OnePlus devices, it integrates with the OnePlus AI platform, while on Lenovo devices it uses Lenovo AI Now. The feature captures audio from both parties, transcribes it, translates it, and speaks the translated text. The feature supports 12 languages at launch. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Why it exists | Users need to communicate across language barriers during phone calls and message exchanges without hiring interpreters or using bulky translation devices. | Language barriers prevent seamless communication.
