Mobile translation apps have improved substantially in recent years--with a little help on speech recognition from AI. Most apps can now keep up with real-time conversations, if your phone has a strong enough internet connection (so the audio can be processed and converted in the cloud). It means if you're trying to hold a conversation with someone in a language you don't know, you no longer need to spend time typing out words and phrases, or trying to figure out spellings and pronunciations. Instead, simply place your phone between you and the other person, and start chatting. There are several apps that can do this for you, but here we'll focus on the free translation apps on your Pixel phone, Galaxy phone, or iPhone.

We'll talk through how to get set up with Roku voice controls, a list of supported voice commands, and some tips for making your experience smoother.

Google may have been caught being less than clear about how, when, and where it tracks your location, but the company isn't actually doing anything about it. Aside from a clearer explanation on its privacy page about what Location History means and doesn't mean, it's business as usual with your Google account. But if Google's tracking treachery rankles you, you can do something about it--and you don't have to delete Google from your life entirely to do so (tempting as that sounds). You might not know it, but you have a surprising amount of control over your Google account, as long as you know where to find all the switches. Here's everything you need to know about Google's privacy settings: where to find them, what you can turn off, and how it all affects your phone.

British and Irish TV watchers with the latest version of set-top box from satellite program provider Sky have just had a complimentary upgrade. The box is called Sky Q and has many features including the capability to watch programs on your iPad, upstairs TV and so on. It also provides access to a massive collection of 4K UHD content, including movies, programs and live sport of any UK provider. The remote control has a touch-sensitive pad on it and from day one this has had a discreet microphone button on its edge. There is also a more basic remote without a touchpad but this doesn't have the microphone built in.

Buying a 4K TV is more confusing than ever before, and decoding all of the different picture quality technologies and supported formats like quantum dots, OLED and HDR can be a daunting task. But while image quality is the primary feature to consider, Sony's hoping Google's Assistant will be another reason to convince you why its 4K TVs are better than Samsung or LG's. Sony 4K TVs, which run Android TV, will be the first to get the Google Assistant, Wired reports. A firmware update will add the intelligent voice assistant to Sony 4K TVs later this year. With the Assistant, you can ask questions like you would on a Pixel phone or Google Home, or control your TV settings and smart home devices.

Up to now, the portable Bluetooth and WiFi-enabled Amazon Tap speaker has required you to press a microphone button to summon Amazon's popular digital assistant Alexa. By contrast, with Amazon's Echo and Dot speakers you merely had to bark out the wake word "Alexa" to ask her to play music, deliver the news, answer questions and more--those devices are always listening. On Thursday, Amazon announced a free over-the-air software update that will let you similarly exploit all Alexa can do hands-free with the "Alexa" wake word, so long as Tap is connected to Wi-Fi. You'll be able to enable this hands-free mode via a setting inside the Alexa app on your phone. From there, you can ask away: "Alexa, what's the weather in New York?" "Alexa, play Stevie Wonder," "Alexa, tell me a joke" and so on.
