While the previous releases, including support for Italian and Chinese, have been limited to a small group of testers, Microsoft is removing the sign-up requirement today to open the preview to the masses. That means anyone can now use Skype Translator to translate English, Spanish, Italian, and Mandarin in real time.[/quote] Windows Store link (sorry, that means Win7 users get the shaft): [url]http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/app/184dd919-d3cf-48c2-988f-bda81749b8a4[/url]
At first I thought it was just a chat translator, but wow, It can translate spoken text in real time? From what the screenshots show, it posts it in the chat, but would be cool maybe them having it as subtitles instead.

Due to the way the WinRT model in Windows 8, 8.1, and Universal works on 10, it's meant to run side-by-side the regular (Win8) Skype app.
ewww is it the metro skype? Doesn't that never fucking work right.
I hope it won't end up like the auto-generated captions on Youtube.
