Translate and learn millions of words and expressions and express yourself as if you were a native speaker. Reverso is the best tool for those who seek quality translation, looking to master a foreign language: reading, writing or speaking, and it's free. Students, teachers, business professionals or others, whether beginners or advanced, use Reverso to learn new words or expressions, and eliminate the risk of being mistaken. It provides you instant translations of the selected text when reading content on your browser, on Safari or any other app. Reverso Context is based on data gathered from millions of real-life texts (official documents, movie subtitles, product descriptions) in both languages. These texts are processed with powerful "big data" algorithms and machine learning to provide you the best results. What do we mean by context? The search results (translation) of a specific word or expression are weaved within real-life sentences, so you will be sure to understand and learn exactly how the word can be used, and make no embarrassing mistakes. Just type or say the word or expression you wish to translate and the results will appear instantly: relevant translations, presented with examples of how words are used in sentences. The app offers flashcards and quizzes based on your search history and favorites to help you memorize them and to improve your language skills. Unlike standard learning tools, it focuses on words and expressions that you really need and want to learn. The bits and bytes: * Instantly translate selected text when reading content on your browser, iBook or any other app, with no need to exit the app you are using. Click on the familiar "Share" option and select the Reverso option. * Translation in 17 languages: Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Polish, Dutch, Arabic, Russian, Romanian, Japanese, Turkish, Hebrew and Chinese, Korean, Swedish, Ukrainian and we are working on more. * Advanced features include pronunciation, history, phrasebook of your favorites and more. * Create vocabulary lists based on your personal selection of examples and translations. Lists remain available even when you’re offline. * Enjoy natural pronunciation of complete example sentences. * One click to get translations, frequency details, and conjugation when applicable. * Search history, also available offline. * Suggestions: words and expressions will be suggested to you as you type. * Share your findings via email or social media.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: DeepL Translate at none against Reverso Context Translator's shown.

Reverso Context Translator's advantage is review sentiment (77% vs 53%) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
