What are GT’s main features?

Multilinguals, for example, can be copied and pasted onto the GT platform.
Text pasted on it can be "Read aloud" in 63 languages and read without TTS in 46 additional languages. That is 109 languages in all.
On GT's platform, the “Read aloud” feature can be used to listen to synonyms, antonyms, etc. by first clicking any word of the text.
Translations of stories, fables, and poems may be copied, pasted onto a Microsoft Word document, and even listened to by accessing Word’s “Read Aloud” feature under “Review.”
The built-in mic allows you to input your own words on the platform. This feature can help students learn to spell or even to learn another language by conversing with a teacher.
