Ratings and reviews

reading a novel in Spanish to translate into English has gotten to be almost unusable. sometimes only first word of a phrase is not translated. or only one word is translated. i want to go back to the previous app. is it still in playstore with different name. i am not interested in translating conversation. it used to be useful for reading articles. books and newspapers. not anymore

Here's a new edited version of my feedback request. When I translate long paragraphs for my wife, she likes to listen to the translation instead of reading it. But the playback voice speaks really slow and there’s no way to speed it up (or slow it down if needed). It would be great if there was an option to change the playback speed for translated audio with a simple faster/slower slider. Thank you.

Was hoping to depend on this app for live translations (conversation mode) but after 5 or 6 phrases the app crashes and closes. After 2 or 3 times, I receive a pop-up suggesting I clear the app's cache. Online searches have resulted in the same and even removing the app and data, reinstalling, and redownloading the language packs. None of these fix the app crashing/closing during Live Translate. This known bug has plagued me for months now. Luckily Microsoft's app doesn't crash on my phone.
