We present three of our most valued voice translation programs which accurately translates dictated words or whole sentences into the language you need. Translated words is shown as text on the screen and can be expressed in voice. This type of programs often becomes an important part when visiting a foreign country and you need some help by communicating in another language. If you have no idea what a foreigner wants to tell you, choose his country language and let your mobile hear it. All these features require stable internet connection.
Google Translate
One of the most popular and well known application that can be used not only on mobile devices, but also on PC. Nevertheless it brings more features on mobile.
Dictated words and sentences are automatically translated to text in the desired language and can be pronounced aloud by the program itself. It’s a versatile translator in your pocket when traveling abroad. We all know that this service requires a minimal internet traffic, but even that can cost much less than hiring a real translator.
If you don’t have skills in using mobile keyboard or simply it’s not as convenient, we suggest you to try handwriting function. It’s same as writing on paper, just in this case every word is being converted into digital text.
Surprising is that Google Translate can scan random text which is all around you and show it in your language. All you have to do is to click on camera icon on the app and target your phone on any clearly visible text. It will be converted into the language you chose. Need to mention that iPhone or iPad must be pointed stable enough. Otherwise during the direct scan every word will blink and translation may vary. If that’s too difficult, we suggest to use the pause button to suspend visible image or simply capture a photo. After photo was taken, slide your finger by marking desired sentence and every single word will be translated immediately. It’s also possible to upload previously captured images and see their translation.
Speak & Translate
By default, it provides only those languages that can be translated in voice. User friendly management enables you to choose two languages which is shown as flag icons on the main screen. No matter on which side you clicking, voice will be automatically translated into the other language you set. In settings there’s a text to text translation feature. List of available languages significantly increases if you set text to text only. For those who thinks that voice translation is way too fast and therefore hard to understand, every user can set his own custom speed. That’s one of the basic features in voice translation apps.
iTranslate
This app stores all translations history and it’s great to have an instant access for those words or expressions which was used more often. In that way it’s very easy to learn single words or sentences and later the entire language. We have noticed that in free version, voice recognition and translation feature is supported by less than a half of available languages. Those languages are marked with settings icon. Otherwise you need to look for premium version.
Supported voice languages: English, Spanish, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Arabic, Catalan, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Swedish and Turkish.
