I use it at home. I use it at work. I use it in the grocery store sometimes. But it has become buggy lately. The one feature I don’t like is if the sensor that the text the film has been lifted to your ear activates it causes a screen to go blank, causing interaction with the app to stop. That feature serves no purpose to be honest and I think should be turned off.. lately some of the translations have been incorrect, and or were not translated at all. Like I said, it’s one of the better ask, but I will give it for stars because of the buggy things in the miss- translations as of late. ### 5/5 — It helps me to communicate with my assistant *2023-01-11, version 5.0.12* This app is the best. I have a Portuguese speaker assistant and she doesn’t speak English at all. I always use google translate but most of the time I have to fix what I dictate. Very easy to switch between two languages, this app is very convenient for me and my assistant. I wish the speaker is louder. I have an iphone 14 pro max, but the voice is not as loud as when I am playing music. Overall this is one of the best app. ### 5/5 — Using for school registrations *2023-01-05, version 5.0.12* This app has been a lifesaver helping to get families registered at school when they don’t speak English. Extremely easy to use! Today I used it to register a Spanish speaking family and they actually asked me the name of the app so they could download it. Murfreesboro, TN ### 5/5 — Helpful at work *2022-11-23, version 5.0.12* I never write reviews here but after using this app to be able to communicate with a patient throughout a procedure we were performing I had to recommend it! While not an official translator it was so helpful in being able to communicate what was going on the whole time and I was able to answer the patients questions in real time. The app understood the patients Russian and gave me the English translation and visa versa. I liked that it also gave a text version of the translation so I could see if it understood me properly. I literally downloaded the app for the first time at the beginning of the procedure and was able to figure out how to use it right away. The patient and I were both grateful for this app and excited that it worked so well! Good job creators! You’re helping people more than you know! ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2022-10-05, version 5.0.11* This is a very useful and well thought out app. My one suggestion is, because one cannot always have Wi-Fi near, it might be helpful if a person can download one language other than their native tongue, at a time so that if they need it away from Wi-Fi they can at least have that language available. ### 5/5 — This is awesome!!! *2022-06-13, version 5.0.10* So, I wanted to see what the Spanish kids were saying about me. So I got a translator app. I was on it, and I wanted to try Japanese. I clicked on the microphone button, ( Japanese is all symbols so I couldn’t pronounce it ) and it said “ start free trial!” And it was so much money. So I went to look for another, and I found this one, this thing is the best!!! ### 5/5 — The best translation app you can get. *2022-04-28, version 5.0.8* My teacher also uses SayHi. We have 2 Ukrainian students in our class, and they don’t know English. I am learning Spanish and this app is the easiest app to use to talk to other people in any language. I am weird and I use translating apps to learn different languages. ¡Adios! ### 5/5 — Invaluable *2021-11-19, version 5.0.6* As a medical provider it is imperative that I be able to communicate with my patients and their families. During moments official translation was temporarily unavailable this app helped a great deal. What makes this app special is that families seem to really enjoy the quality of the translation and feel understood. As a bilingual person, I can confirm that the Russian translation is spot on Very impressed by how well the app handles technical language and jargon as well. Please add text to speech capability for Haitian Creole! ### 5/5 — Idea *2021-10-31, version 5.0.5* Love your app — I’m an amateur rider. I use your app all the time. Like the different Spanish languages. My friend in Peru. I use Peruvian Spanish. In my books, use Mexican Spanish. — saw you have male/female voices. Got this idea just now while installing it in my old 2010 iPad. — in my word processing app, I put both languages in my Scriener app because, not, my Spanish isn’t good & I am forced to read it in English. — again, as an option, adding he said, she said in your app, automatically the voice will change from female to male Voices, and it could work in conversations. Just putting in she or he using colons: writing or saying the language. Keep up the good work The best app ever! ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2021-09-05, version 5.0.4* I supervise someone who speaks Spanish and very little English. I am learning Spanish but to get important information across it can really be a struggle! This app is AWESOME. Now my colleague can express himself with ease. It is hard for people to learn English too because here in the US we speak a lot of slang. This has been incredibly helpful. It is really great for learning and absorbing another language as well. Thank you!!! ### 5/5 — What a partner *2021-08-03, version 5.0.4* SayHi is such tremendous help to me in my Spanish learning efforts. Learning "on the fly", as I explore how to say something I am thinking and want to express, makes the learning process so much fun. Also, being able to switch languages when I want to communicate with another person who has limited English language capabilities is very easy and very rewarding. Great app, to say the least! Thanks and thanks for the updates ### 5/5 — Really impressed! *2021-06-10, version 5.0.3* This app is super easy to use and allows me to translate Spanish and English into by far better sentences than google translate will ever do. There are so many languages it will translate and it’s just right at my fingertips! I also love the image feature. You take a picture of the words and it can translate it really easily! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2021-03-12, version 4.3.10* I am using the app with an on line class. I can’t spell in English so why would I spell well in Spanish? When I fill in a lesson in Spanish I say it it Spanish to say hey. This does a bunch of good thinks 1. Your app understands my Spanish I am doing something right. 2. I can correct my spelling. Often the default in on line studies is if you miss spell a word you end up in a loop. Rather than learning, you get in a rage. More and more I speak and I am right! Positive reinforcement. ! ### 5/5 — Way better than google translate *2021-03-08, version 4.3.10* If you’re looking to translate with Spanish then you know google translate doesn’t work well because it only uses Spanish from Spain which is way different than Mexican or Colombian Spanish for example This app nails it and the voice recognition is fast and accurate. ### 5/5 — Best Spanish dialog translator! *2021-02-24, version 4.3.10* I am studying Spanish and I have been frustrated with movie subtitles not matching the audio. This app has been able to hear Spanish dialog more accurately than any other app I own and it’s completely free. I can’t thank developers enough for providing this outstanding program! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Writes the Exact Opposite. *2023-11-19* ALWAYS CHECK THE TRANSLATION. At least, if you’re trying to speak to someone in Ukraine. Often it changes the meaning to the exact opposite… Scary. If I sent the last few paragraphs I wrote as they were translated, my Ukrainian friend would think that I was on the wrong side. And wondering if I wished him death. And I’m not blowing that out of proportion. It’s bad. (Makes me question the developer) It used to be close to great! Used to be really good. But after a couple updates, all I can say is, if you’re talking to someone in Ukraine, cross-check everything you write. Or you may be deeply insulting someone. Also, it will act really glitchy while you use it. As far as anchoring the conversation and what not. It does weird things. This app does weird things. I highly questioned the integrity of this app. ### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Translate Women’s Voices *2018-10-20, version 4.2.11* I was trying to use this to translate a film which is in a language I do not know and which is without subtitles. The app is only able to translate (and understand) male voices. The lead character in this film is a woman and the app has not been able to comprehend a single thing she or any of the other female characters have said and has not even spit out incorrect translations. The app has, however, translated every word the 3 male characters have spoken even when those translations are clearly incorrect because they’re full of imaginary words or incomprehensible phrasings. I would strongly suggest the devs retest (and recalibrate) all languages with female voices. ### 2/5 — Rewriting *2018-11-18, version 4.2.14* I have to constantly rewrite my thoughts to say what I want to properly say to someone in Chinese, this is frustrating and inconvenience and when I have to rewrite by the 3rd or 4th time the message becomes irrelevant because that time has passed, to ask a question or make a statement,..... I like this software yes but there are many flaws that make it inconvenient to get the point across in due time. Basic words are fine but anything more then that and the sentence changes from the original. ### 3/5 — Was great *2021-04-10, version 4.3.12* At first I used this app quite regularly. I found the translations to be accurate for the most part. It was definitely an app I recommended; However, within the last month or so, the option to speak Hebrew (using the microphone) was removed. I do not understand what the point of that is. You still offer voice translation in Arabic, but removed Hebrew. Please put it back. ### 3/5 — Love the app! *2020-09-17, version 4.3.9* This app is amazing. I have used it in multiple Countries. Random meetups on the beach with people of all ages so many different ethnicities. SayHi was the savior to all these experiences, yes it had its issues early on, but it’s fixed many of them and still works incredibly. The only reason I give a 3 star review, is because there isn’t an Apple Watch app yet?!?! It’s much needed. Please here me out. I’ll even adjust rating later on if possible :) ### 3/5 — CHEERS 🥃 *2019-02-20, version 4.2.16* This is a very good app I’m so many ways,, it does what it says and more, plus it’s free so we really can’t complain.. This is a very useful app if you travel a lot and it’s very easy to learn.. Well worth a download you have nothing to lose and a lot to gain with this free app.. I gave it 3 stars which I think is pretty fair seems how I’ve only Just downloaded but give me a week I’ll be back with a real solid review.. thanks to the folks that made this happen keep up the good work and thanks for the free app ⭐️ 🌟 ### 3/5 — Needs Improvement *2018-12-07, version 4.2.14* I applaud these developers for what they have created here in terms of UI and concept. However, when it comes to functionality, translation and features they have a long way to go. I find that the app is consistently slow and start up. I have reported this several times and they have not been able to correct this. I also find that the actual translations in Spanish I have several errors in terms of syntax and overall translation compared with other platforms. They need to improve this with their translation provider. I would also like to see them break down translations more clearly with paragraphs. This is something that Google translate does quite well. I would like to see these guys really make this into a much more robust application and I wish them well. ### 4/5 — Need wifi? *2023-11-03* When i am at work we have poor WIFI. this app doesn’t work in that scenario unless I turn off my WIFI in settings. The real problem is that in this scenario the app goes to a page saying I need to update. When i click on the update button there is no upgrade available. I wanted to let people using the app know this as well as the tech people. It took me awhile to figure out what was happening. Otherwise i love this app and use it often. I use it to translate in multiple languages when I volunteer and to translate, mostly toSpanish, when at work. I hope this is helpful!💞 ### 4/5 — Best translator app that is inclusive! *2023-08-16* I adore this app & all its functionality it brings. I use it quite often at work and at home. It has my home language—Cantonese (Chinese)—which many other translator apps only have Mandarin (Chinese). I love that you can have an active conversation that will translate everything in just a few seconds. The only thing I wish this app is to the romanization characters/letters of how to pronounce a word that was translated. I think it will be helpful towards students using it to communicate or learn a different language. ### 4/5 — Already Got A Bug 🤨🫤😤 *2023-02-10, version 5.0.12* Hi! I got this app just a few minutes ago and I’m already experiencing a bug. When I try to use the text for translation, whenever I tap the screen to see “paste” or just to see my curser and start typing, the screen turns black for 10 seconds to 30 or a minute. Please fix it, it’s getting annoying. Thank you! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best App - Don’t Discontinue! *2024-07-31* This app is one of the best app and I want to say to keep on continue. Recently, hearing about there discontinue of this app in August 5, 2024 just make me loss hope of this amazing free translation app being lead to wast. This app is amazing in many ways because it updates a lot and it has some language translation voice over like Google doesn’t have. So here I am, to ask you, please don’t discontinue. (I wise I have some money to buy this app..) Thank you for reading. ### 5/5 — best translation app *2024-07-24* I have used this app in a number of different settings. In an outpatient pop-up clinic, I used it to speak with people in a couple of different languages to be able to ask who they were looking for and go get an interpreter. When I traveled in China, I used it to help communicate with people. a few times when I’ve been overseas, I’ve used this. It also has multiple different kinds of Spanish, which I really appreciate. ### 5/5 — This app is my new Spanish Teacher *2024-04-26* I got this app initially to look up translations but quickly realized that it could also help me refine how I am speaking the language, improve my knowledge of various verb tenses, and up my vocabulary quickly. It bypasses the problem with all other language learning apps in that you can get instant, and reliable feedback on the phrases you are trying to say. Game changer! Mad props to the developers! Can’t wait to see how this app will evolve. 💛 ### 5/5 — Ham Radio Translator *2023-12-28* Great app to translate Spanish and Russian conversations on ham radio! Works way better than Google translate and seems to be able to pick up more of the conversation through the static. The translations seem more authentic, whereas Google will completely change the translation in mid conversation if they don’t like what’s being said! I’ve seen it happen in real time! Particularly if it has to do with illegal immigrants planning their travel over the border or political discussions. ### 5/5 — The best *2023-10-25* It was the best like it was really fun. You can like to everyone about it and like say stuff in different languages are no one will know and trust people is really fun and I’m nine years old. I wanna know it’s language, but nice and learning some because it says the language, so it’s really cool overall and I just push it through my apps like this. I left a five star rating I mean what else can I hear? It’s best that I probably have on this phone I mean I have a phone but it’s just really cool. I’d recommend this for people who like the stuff all right my name is James Lashbrook earth and I really like this app so whoever created this is the best. ### 5/5 — Need current language’s lock feature *2023-05-17* Of all the apps I’ve tried this is the most accurate and simplest to use, and most reliable. However it’s really easy to accidentally hit the (change) language’s link when going for the translation button, and most who don’t understand the app can’t figure out how to get off the language list and back to the main page. If you add a language lock feature this can’t happen. ### 5/5 — Awesome translation app *2023-05-14* This app is amazing. I use it all the time when I forget a Chinese word or how to pronounce it. This app has verbal and keyboard functions, and it’s awesome that they actually have my language, Cantonese. Every other translating app/website, they strictly have Mandarin. I’d recommend for all that are using it to travel & need to speak to someone with quick translation. Only thing I will suggest is to add the Romanization of the words that you are translating. It allows people to pronounce words easier ### 5/5 — Only app that worked w/ tv *2023-04-08* I’m not fluent in Korean so some of the variety shows I watch I’m guessing about 80% of the dialogue. I downloaded 5 other voice translation apps & none of them picked up the conversation from the TV even standing right by the speakers. This is the only app which picked up dialogue even from a few feet away. Now it’s not a perfect translation, but Korean vocabulary can be tricky with numerous words having multiple definitions. But I’m very satisfied & really think it’ll help with speaking to my Korean relatives. ### 5/5 — Somehow helpful and need some changes to be added *2023-03-24* I never write reviews here but after using this app to be able to communicate with different languages speakers, and it’s useful but it has missing and problems while translating from one language to Another Language For exampl: English to Pashto / Dari to English , about 30% translation is not correct and also there is no voice translation option available yet, and one thing more this app usually use in Medical , legal ,social and public and I request to add all medical and court legal Terminologies and medical English, I am sure it would be the most useful app for all over the world and world interpreters and translators, and end once again I request kindly add voice option (Mic option) for Pashto, Dari and bring someone changes That it should translate academically So please work on translation to be academic and accurate and add voice option for Pashto , and Dari With regards ### 5/5 — SayHi Saved My Life *2023-02-10, version 5.0.12* SayHi is purely a quality application far superior over the rest like it that do translations. It saves your translations history for quick references and is user friendly when you need it the most when interacting in foreign countries. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
