While I make sure to only use it for basic words rather than the unreliable conjunctions given by anything else, I use this app way more than my teacher would like me to (especially because of her moderation of open tabs on our school computers). Works for most of what it is meant to work for! Although, one thing that would help is if the "frequency" meter given for definitions on the desktop edition was brought over to mobile sometime soon.
the camera feature is so smart but it just does not work at all
The latest version is too scaled down and is far less useful than previous versions. I think the camera feature was useful and should be added back in.
This app would be near-perfect if there was some way to manually tell it which direction the text was written in. When I translate use the scanner/photo import to translate Japanese it frequently reads up-down text as left-right/right-left. I’m not even sure which direction exactly because it just spits out gibberish. If I could manually tell it to read things as up-down then this app would be amazing.
Some of the functions work but the instant one is awful took me 5 minutes to try and figure it out just to realize it wasn’t a user issue not impressed
App works great at first then seems to get tired
When I was trying to translate a Chinese article it only translated some of it not all the letters
If this also sounds like my last one I’d like to say that some of the front page titles that are all five stars are in lies the one that says it’s good for Spanish reading is a huge lie if this message sounds like the last message I sent the word that I was trying to translate what is Spanish and I just would not go through
I just got this and was trying to translate some Spanish work I was doing.. I was holding it at many different angles for at least two minutes each and all it did was blur the words or give me a bunch of random letters.. I don’t recommend this translator but I’ll probably keep trying with it
