Limitations and Future Improvements

• Voice recognition depends on browser support and may behave differently across devices.
• Translation API limits may apply; hosting your own server can improve reliability.
• Add more languages and dialect support in both voice recognition and translation.
• Improve UI/UX by adding user preferences, voice feedback, and error handling.
• Offline capabilities via service workers could be explored.
