Google Translate will soon offer a new feature that translates spoken words to another language, transcribes them in real time, and saves the results as a handy text file that you can use later. Real-time transcription is currently in the prototype stage, but Google says it’s scheduled to start rolling out for Android phones later this year. As The Verge reports, the feature is likely to need an internet connection when it launches, due to the increased processing power needed to offer multiling

If you were expecting the Huawei P40 price to be cheaper than the cost of the Huawei P30 from a year before due to the Huawei ban, you might be in for a shock. That’s according to leaker @RODENT950 who posted on Twitter what he’s heard the Huawei P40, its Pro version, and also the rumored Huawei P40 Pro Premium Edition will cost. According to the leak, the Huawei P40 will cost between €470 (roughly $520, £400, AU$765) and €870 (around $960, £735, AU$1,415). That’s compared to the Huawei P30 Pro

The full trailer for Fast 9 will be released this Friday, but in the meantime, a one-minute teaser is doing the rounds, featuring Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez. A larger threat is teased for this movie, which is apparently the penultimate mainline entry in the Fast and Furious series (which sounds incredibly unlikely in this age of the undying movie franchise). Check out the Fast 9 teaser trailer below:This is the first installment directed by Fast Five’s Justin Lin since Fast and Furious 6.

The PS5 reveal date edges closer – and there’s now more evidence to suggest a PlayStation 5 launch event is imminently upon us. Tech site LetsGoDigital has spotted a trademark application for the PlayStation 5 that’s been submitted in Switzerland this week by Sony Interactive Entertainment. In the notes for the trademark application is also a priority claim for the trademark filed much earlier in Jamaica, dated October 3, 2019. PS5 launch incoming? So are we any closer to a PS5 launch event?

Two new games are joining the ranks of Stadia Pro freebies on Google’s video game streaming platform, with Metro Exodus and platform-exclusive Gylt now being given away to Pro subscribers for free. ‘Free’ may be a deceptive word, though, as you’ll need to have a $9.99 / £8.99 per month Stadia Pro subscription to get access, as is the case with the free titles on PlayStation Plus or Xbox Games with Gold. It’s a headline game for the platform, given its AAA status and recent release, but it’s stil

It’s no secret that The Witcher Netflix show has been a massive success for the TV streaming service, with millions of viewers worldwide and the beginnings of a long-lasting franchise in the works. With The Witcher season 2 on the way in 2021, Geralt of Rivia is here to stay. With that in mind, we’ve brought together 5 games we think deserve the same treatment as The Witcher TV show – aside from God of War. A TV adaptation would also help to expand its audience beyond its life as a PS4 exclusive

PS Now vs Xbox Game Pass: which game subscription service will get your hard-earned dollars? If you can’t justify owning both, it’s worth knowing the differences between Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Now. Then there’s Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which is more expensive at $14.99 / £10.99 / AU$15.95 a month, but with it you get Game Pass, Xbox Live Gold, and Game Pass for PC.

Scientists have reproduced the voice of a 3,000-year-old mummified priest with the help of a 3D printer which recreated the individual’s vocal tract, and while the result is only a short burst of sound, hopefully with further work, his full voice could be reproduced. The researchers observed: “This acoustic output is for the single sound for the extant vocal tract shape; it does not provide a basis for synthesising running speech. To do so would require knowledge of the relevant vocal tract arti

Sharp is getting into the OLED TV business, according to a report from Nikkei Asian Review which says the electronics company is on the cusp of releasing its own range of OLED sets containing LG-made panels. With plans to offer OLED displays in 55-inch and 65-inch sizes, at a rather premium starting price of 300,000 yen (around $2,700 / £2,100 / AU$4,000), Sharp looks set to join the big players in the OLED market, with reports suggesting that these televisions could be on the market as soon as

However, the long-awaited Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) that is the Honda e is anything but dull. Better still Honda has pretty much stuck to its promise of not changing much since the city car design first appeared as a prototype showstopper. Exterior finishCompared to the prototype the Honda e is certainly practical and ideally suited to the job in hand, which is essentially living life as a city car. Smooth lines dominate the overall look, which is further complimented by the svelte digital

We take turn-by-turn navigation on our smartphones for granted. Going indoorsWhat if your turn-by-turn navigation can start at your desk? It will be possible soon, starting with an update coming to the Here WeGo map app later this year. The pinpoint technology doesn’t solely rely on GPS though – which struggles to penetrate buildings and thus can lead to unreliable indoor location data. Another issue Here will face will be encouraging users to actually download the WeGo app in the first place.

The glitch introduced with the final KB4534310 update meant that certain Windows 7 desktop wallpapers (those which have been stretched) were replaced with a plain black background. As spotted by The Verge, Microsoft admits in a support document: “After installing KB4534310, your desktop wallpaper might display as black when set to Stretch.” The workaround is to stop using the stretch option with the desktop wallpaper, but Microsoft did say it would fix the issue for those “who have purchased Win

The next-gen console war hasn’t officially started yet but, when it comes to developer interest it seems the PS5 is already beating Xbox Series X – and the Nintendo Switch. That’s according to GDC’s State of the Game Industry 2020 survey, which surveyed 4,000 game developers on a variety of industry topics ahead of GDC 2020 in March. Again, the Xbox Series X is seriously lagging behind, piquing the interest of just 25% of devs. Other interesting trends(Image credit: Microsoft)While the survey se

A new Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic game is reportedly in development at EA, according to a report by Cinelinx (via GamesRadar). According to the report, which cites two independent sources, a new Knights of the Old Republic is in the works. Cinelinx claims that this game would “integrate elements from the first two games in order to bring certain things into the current Star Wars canon”, essentially making the game more a reboot than a remake. In addition, back in 2015 the site reporte

It’s been hiding in the shadows for years now, but could the Silent Hill franchise of horror games be about to make a return? According to the tweets, Silent Hill developers Konami have invited pitches for two separate Silent Hill games – one a familiar ‘soft-reboot’ of the franchise, and the other a more narrative-driven episodic title in the same vein as the Telltale games and Until Dawn horror series from Supermassive Games. “In other news while I’m dropping this stuff, and I think I can talk
