Features
Text Translation
Text mode pairs autocomplete with alternative translations across more than 100 languages, with several options offered for each phrase.
Voice Translation
Speech is recognized and translated into a chosen language, with voice translation also working offline in four languages.
Camera Translation
The phone camera translates menus, cards, signs and other printed text in view, without any typing.
Offline Translation
Popular languages can be translated with no internet connection, which keeps roaming costs down while travelling.
Keyboard Translation
A keyboard extension delivers instant translations inside messaging apps so a chat can carry on in another language.
What users say
Pros
- Keeps point-of-view and scene breaks correct when translating longer fiction passages, work that is otherwise difficult.
Cons
- Downloading the free app leads to a demand for a paid one-week subscription before it will start.
- Requires an ongoing subscription in place of the earlier one-off purchase.
