translate over 80 languages instantly via text, speech and images! It’s your own FREE personal translator!
Features Only Available on Translate.com App:
The Translate App sets itself apart from other translation apps with two features: 1) Human Powered
Translations and 2) Live Translate:
1) Human Powered Translations With human powered translations, you can ask our global community of translators for the most accurate
translations. Get translations from native speakers, people who would know that language best.
2) Live Translate The Translate App is the only app that enables two people who speak different languages to be able to
instantly speak to each other by simply using their smart phones. Users can connect with any smart phone
and can be anywhere in the world to speak to each other through Live Translate.
How Live Translate works:
Let’s say an English-speaking person and a Spanish-speaking person want to communicate. One
user sends a code to the other users’ smart phone to start a Live Translate conversation.
After both users have joined the same Live Translate conversation, then either user can start
speaking to each other in their language.
Example:
• English speaking person speaks into their Translate app
• The Translate App takes the English phrase then translates it instantly
• Within a few seconds it is played back (in Spanish) on the Spanish person’s device.
• It also works the other way around.
Standard Input Features:
3) Translate by Typing in Text –
Type or copy & paste the text you want to translate into the app. Translate words, phrases and full
sentences. Available for 64 languages.
4) Translate by Speech -
Simply speak into your device and instantly receive your translation through text and also hear an audio of
pronunciation of the translation. Available for 30 languages.
5) Translate by Images, Photos / Optical Recognition –
Use your device to take photos of foreign text. The app’s optical recognition will analyze the text and
instantly provide a text translation. Available for 27 languages.
