Best Practices: Conversations With ILA

The strength of the translations requires a clear voice and correct pronunciation.  Issues can arise if the speaker mumbles, doesn't clearly enunciate their words, or speaks too quickly.
If what is being said is not being translated correctly, please try the following:
  1. Repeating the phrase with different words.
  2. Verbally spell out what you are trying to say.
  3. Type it out by tapping on the text bar above the microphone button to bring up the keyboard.
  4. Connect a headset and/or microphone to the appropriate side in order to isolate the speaker's words.  3.5mm jack is available and Bluetooth 5.0 is supported.
Try to use the ILA in a quiet environment with minimal background noise, as the device can pick up those background sounds and try to interpret them, causing issues with the actual words needing to be translated.
Avoid using metaphors or euphemisms, as these phrases are likely not known of in other languages and can cause confusion.
The language models used are designed for native accents, and may experience difficulties with words spoken with a different accent (i.e. an American accent trying to pronounce French words).
Some newer language models may not be as precise, but as the model gets improved this will also improve translation accuracy.  In these cases, please speak in simple words with simple syntax.
