Text-to-speech feature of Google Translate stepped up a bit by adding 27 more languages to their service.
Beside French, Italian, German, Hindi and Spanish languages which were added consecutively to improve the user experience, now you can also enjoy Afrikaans, Albanian, Catalan, Chinese (Mandarin), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Latvian, Macedonian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Swahili, Swedish, Turkish, Vietnamese and Welsh.
The magic of text to speech is credited to espeak an open source speech synthesizer by Sourceforge.net, now Google Translate with espeak could be a great experience for linguist community and enthusiast around the globe.
Go to Google Translate Page, enter a text in your desired language to the language you wish to translate and click on the option of speech.
You may hear not so clear sound, however Google assured for better sound quality in future to get more real occurrence of the translated word(s). I say, perfection has no limits. I used this feature and simply loved it. What about you?
