Google has introduced a new speech translation feature for Google Meet, powered by Gemini, designed to eliminate language barriers instantly during video calls. This AI-driven tool translates spoken words in real time, preserving the speaker’s unique voice, tone, and emotions while delivering the translation in the listener’s chosen language. Currently available for English and Spanish, support for Italian, German, and Portuguese will be added soon.
During a live demo at I/O 2025, Google demonstrated this tech in action—an English speaker chatting with a Spanish-speaking colleague on a Meet call could communicate easily. When Gemini translation kicked in, the colleague’s Spanish was instantly dubbed into English using a voice that mirrored their natural rhythm and tone, far from a robotic drone.
Google says this latest feature is designed to make multilingual conversations feel just as natural as chatting in a single language. The translations preserve vocal inflections and expressions, bringing nuance and personality to every word—an essential leap toward seamless, human-like cross-language collaboration.
Real-time AI speech translation in Google Meet starts its beta rollout today, available to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.
