The Microsoft Translator web app, which offers translated multi-device conversation sessions will be transitioning to a simplified experience towards the end of 2022.

In keeping with our goal to provide users with the best translation experience possible and maintaining consistency with our Translator mobile apps, the upcoming web app will no longer require a login account. This means that the ability to start and host a conversation from the web app will be removed and the preset conversation feature will be retired. The simplified web app experience will only allow users to join conversations that are started in the Translator mobile apps.

With the Microsoft Translator mobile app, users will still be able to start and host conversation sessions and they can continue to share the session codes with others using either the Translator web app or mobile apps. The session join process will remain the same wherein participants simply need to input the five-character code, visit the host’s URL, or scan the host’s QR code to join the session.

The Microsoft Translator mobile app is available for Android and iOS and offers translation for text, speech, images as well as translated multi-device conversations.

The Group Transcribe app is available for iOS and it provides real-time transcription and translation for in-person conversations.
