用不了

挺好用的翻译也比较准确,但是为什么现在用不了了,明明昨天都还能翻译,但是今天想翻译的时候怎么也翻译不出来重下了好几次网络也检查了没有问题希望尽快改进一下

Slow translation, Often freezes

I’ve used this app for a few years and it’s been my go to when needing to translate Korean. However, after the most recent update the translation is really slow, and freezes when I’m halfway through typing. What used to be a really efficient and reliable app when needing quick translations is now a frustration and a lot less reliable!

Can I use the app normally?

I uninstalled the app because they keep asking me to turn on my Location (which I dont want to???). I can’t even use the app properly without getting they pop up ad/notification asking me to do it because of their new feature (that I don’t care). If someone says no one time, how about leaving them alone…..

Suddenly slow and unusable

The new update seems to have broken the app. It’s so slow even with short text translations. I don’t know what you did but change it back.

Almost there!

It does reasonably well. It thinks too hard with spoken words and wants to use more commonly used words similar to an autocorrect feature. It will start out with what you expect, then change it to a more common similar sounding words. With similar sounds from words like 쭉, 죽 and 죽, Papago wants to change them all to 죽.

It would be nice to turn off the autocorrect feature and have a feature that displays whatever is spoken. Have a pronunciation learning section as well.

Autocorrect is very helpful with complete words. Not always with word parts or word symbols.
