This innovation is a step towards simulating natural speech online, and will help language learners better differentiate words and sounds. The third click plays the translation at a normal speed again, and each additional click would continue to alternate between normal and slow speech.
Clicking on the button a second time will play the words at a slower speed. After translating text to another language, clicking on the ‘listen’ button once will play the words at a normal speed. In order to improve its text-to-speech function, Google Translate has recently added a feature to slow down the speech for users to understand the translation more clearly.
