Why don't Zoom or Google Meet offer real-time AI voice translation for business meetings?
This is something I've been thinking about lately.
I work in digital marketing and regularly have client meetings with people from the US, UK, Canada, and Australia.
The biggest challenge isn't understanding English, it's speaking fluently in real-time.
There are millions of professionals around the world who are excellent at their jobs but hesitate to speak during meetings because English isn't their native language. Sometimes people are judged more for their fluency than for their actual knowledge.
With today's AI, we already have:
- Speech recognition
- Real-time translation
- AI-generated voices
So why can't meeting apps combine these into one feature?
Imagine this:
- I speak naturally in Hindi.
- The client hears fluent English in real time.
- The client replies in English.
- I hear or see the response translated into Hindi instantly.
It wouldn't just help Hindi speakers. It could help people who speak Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Arabic, Chinese, and many other languages.
I genuinely think this could change how international business works and create opportunities for millions of skilled professionals who simply aren't native English speakers.
Would you use a feature like this if Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams offered it?
I'd love to hear your thoughts. Is this something you'd trust, or would you still prefer speaking directly in English?
