Apple Patent Hints at Text-to-Speech Translation for Notes | Mashable

Posted on by

A new patent suggests that Apple may add text-to-speech functionality to its Notes app, specifically for communicating in a different language.

The feature will translate text into a desired language, and then convert that text to speech that can then be read aloud. Any integration with Siri is unclear.

The translation feature will be listed as another option from the pop up menu — along with cut, copy and paste — that currently shows up on the iPhone upon selecting a particular phrase.

Google Translate for the iPhone currently offers a similar functionality. The app reads an English word or phrase in a different language of your choice.

A Notes integration could potentially prove much more useful, with key phrases like “How do I get to the train station?” available in different languages at the ready.
