Google proves once again with “Speakeasy” the alliance of Google Maps and Google Translate.

This very convenient feature will let Google Maps pronounce names of places or streets, as does Google Translate. An idea that should facilitate communication with local taxis to find his hotel, but also to ask his way to passersby according to Google. A button also allows you to open Google Translate directly so you can translate more words. Ironic for a GPS application that pushing its user to ask his way.

This feature will come into 47 countries all over the world, including 50 different languages. Officially, they are already available on Android and iOS. Really, we have not received anything on the smartphones of the editorial department.
