Ratings and reviews

I have been using Microsoft Translator app from few months and I think it is the best alternative of Google Translate. It works as same as Google Translate and I am using it peacefully. It supports text, voice, camera, and conversation translation for more than 70 languages. It also has offline translation and phrasebooks for travelers. It is very easy to use and has a nice interface. I especially like the camera translation feature, which lets me translate text within photos and screenshots.

I'm absolutely satisfied with the translation it offers but the one reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because there's an issue with voice recognition: when I play an audio, for the first 3-4 times it catches on pretty well but after that it either stops translating or literally stops after 2 seconds after I've turned on the mic. To fix that, I've to close the app and open it again. Please fix this issue, it's very troublesome.

Its really really awesome. It can help you in learning languages and also in communicating with the other people languages. It automatically detects the language at convert accodingliy with the choice of our language.(Audio , manual, image, and many more) awesome app. Thanks Microsoft for developing such a good app. But at least and last. Please Change the color of the logo. It doesn't looks good in it. Thank You So much Regards!! Prashant
