### 5/5 — 여행할때 너무 유용해요

*2026-08-06*

여행할 때 없어서 안되는 앱이에요 🥺여행을 자주 가는데 영어가 잘 안통하거나 현지언어들을 이해 못할 때 너무 유용해요😆
공연관람이나 박물관 전시 갈 때 실시간번역 짱입니다✨

### 5/5 — 대만족

*2026-04-15*

영문 인식률이 좋고 번역도 훌륭해요. 결재금액이 아깝지가 않아요

### 5/5 — 여행에서 정말 잘썼어요!

*2026-04-08*

구글번역기나 파파고를 주로 썼었는데, 한마디 하고 번역하여 보여주고, 현지인이 한마디 하면 번역해서 보고 시간이 한세월..ㅠㅠ

그런데 턴톡은 실시간으로 음성을 인식해서 바로바로 바꿔주더라고요. 이어폰 꽂으면 동시통역사처럼 바로바로 내 언어로 바꿔서 소리로 들려주고요. 사파리 투어하는데 가이드말 절반도 못알아듣고 지나가곤 했는데, 이번 여행에서는 다 알아듣고 알찬 여행했네요☺️

무엇보다 음성인식이 잘돼서 오번역되는 경우가 다른 앱들에 비해 서의 없었어요!! 같이 간 친구들에게 번역 내용 공유도 가능해서 저만 결제해서 친구들에게 쏴줬네요~

평소엔 잘 쓸일이 없고 전 여행때 딱 결제해서 그 기간만큼 알차게 쓰고 왔습니다~~
