New chime sound

New chime sound is the worse when tapping the microphone. Old was nice one little beep. Now it’s like an event when it chimes.

Bugs and issues with voice translation

The voice translation needs to be faster once it’s done listening to the conversation. Like half the time before it translates. In Japanese sometimes it loops and starts saying Yeah yeah yeah oh yeah or my mom my mom my mom so that should be sorted out
