UT Verse includes a real-time translation tool called UTVersal Translator that lets two people speaking different languages have a face-to-face conversation through their smartphones, with the AI translating each person's speech on the fly.

UTVersal Translator is a standalone component within the UT Verse platform, accessible from the left-hand drawer menu at utverse.tennessee.edu, and is optimized for mobile use. It supports multi-language, back-and-forth spoken conversations in real time using AI-powered speech recognition and translation. The tool was highlighted as a new feature during the June 2025 UT Verse upgrade cycle and is part of OIT's broader accessibility mission. It is available at no cost to all UTK and UT System faculty, staff, and students.
