G Translate

[KenCali]

Hi Guys,

 I think I have a suggestion for development Team on Google Translate. 

I would like to have a slider bar to let the users able to control the speed of talks over speaker Icon. 

It’s really to repeat for the novice when they want to learn speak a new language. They can’t catch that normal speaking. 

if you guys see this is a good suggestion! Please do so and let me try out the Beta version or Test, Staging version or early release for developers. 

Thank You. 

BTW: I am a Sr. Software Engineer. I am specialist on find out the least Intuitive Design on UI.

It looks like all the building blocks may already be present.  I found this article:

https://cloud.google.com/architecture/speech-translation-android-microservice

which is about writing a speech translator using the Google Cloud components.  One of the final steps is the text to speech component which, if I read this correctly:

https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech/docs/reference/rest/v1/text/synthesize#audioconfig

has a property called "speakingRate" which defines the rate of speech output.
