Chinese to English
Have only used for Chinese but it got me through my first trip to China with very few problemsFunny but not useful
Translated random words into sentence that makes absolutely no senseAwesome app
I use this app every time I go to China. No need to ask for English menu, as long as you have a good connection:-)Great app!
Very awesome, wish I had it when I lived in China!Frustrating for Japanese
I am in Japan and I've tried to use this app for translating Japanese on many occasions. I upgraded to the paid version. The translations are really poor. Many things completely not food related translate into food items. For example, there's "fatty tuna" all over the place. Food items on a menu seem to translate much quicker and seemingly more accurately. Maybe that's where the developers focused their attention?
I have used it on some Chinese characters with the Chinese translation, and that seems to occur much more quickly and accurately. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this app except as an emergency back-up to avoid eating anything you'd rather not eat.Show lessNot great
I’ve been using it in Tokyo and it doesn’t work super well, pretty finicky. Google translates camera function works better most of the timeCan't read or translate
The app can't seem to recognize 75% of the text I focus on and the few times it does recognize it, the translations are poor.Chinese
It does not translate everything that i have gave it but most of it, i bought the full version and overall happy, i take screen shots and open app and works fastSuper useful
Spent two weeks in China and got heaps of use out of this app. Translates live in-camera and doesn't require an internet connection to work.
You need good contrast and legibility in the text you're translating, but it was almost always enough to translate menus and signage.Helpless without
The app isn't perfect, but it's close. All you have to do is point your camera at Chinese characters and like waiving a magic wand, the pinion and translation pop up. Very helpful for figuring out menus, the buttons on washers and air conditioners, and airport signs!
