Problems with audio. I give this two stars at this point. In the past I loved it, however, had a lot of issues with it closing out on me, and now I only get audio for the English that I put in to translate into my target language. The language I am trying to learn the audio will not play. I even tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but it didn't fix the issue. App has severely gone downhill.....I will only use the online version going forward.
Reviews for DeepL Translate
← Back to DeepL TranslateThe App is good, but there are some things I'd mention for improvement. 1. The American English voice is too fast and too robotic. It doesn't sound natural. 2. The App stops from listening very quickly, when I'm speaking in English. English quick is too accelerated, either for listening of for speaking. 3. Even in my mother language, I have to continue fluidly speaking, because if I do a pause, the App stops from recording. As a consequence, I have split out my recording in several pieces.
I LOVE this app, it's very accurate! however I would like to see a few modes. camera mode - As in being able to use the camera to see languages (a stop sign for example) and have the app translate it. Along with a picture upload mode - As in if we upload a picture that has a different language on it, it'll translate the picture. And maybe even conversation mode - you say the word outloud and the app translates it.
Changing it so that you have to pay a separate fee for Write is lame. I'm not even on the base level plan. It's one of the more expensive ones. It was a useful tool until now. I might just cancel altogether. It's not like the paid version of the translator offers anything special compared to the free one. Write would have been an excuse to keep the plan. Oh well.
lately it hasn't had the best translations from Spanish to English. It seems to be doing a more direct translation in it's first attempt, and doesn'tseem to look at the context of the whole sentence. You can try and use the alternatives but if you are unsure if the language yourself it's hard to determine which alternatives make the most sense.
This is definitely better than any other translator I have tried so far! However, unreliable because too often, it suddenly stops translating unexpectedly and displays a message saying "Access Denied" with explanation that too many requests are being sent to server. Once this happens, it's impossible to use the translator for a while, especially if you open DeepL in incognito browser to try again, then go to try app once 2nd browser messes up, only for all three methods to have same end result.
This app is amazing. When compared to other translation apps, DeepL stands out in a good way. As expected, there are a few hiccups here and there, but I would rather have a wonky translation than a useless one. I accidentally deleted some saved translations, I feel like it might be too easy to do so. Asking for confirmation, or having undo would be nice.
Easily one of the best MTLs out there, most of the time Deepl's translation is better than google. 2 reasons I didn't give 5 stars is because when using the phone app there is no way(that I've found so far) to just draw the characters of let's say, Japanese, Korean or chinese. And better image recognition, when selecting an image from your gallery the image will display, but if there are any foreign characters Deepl will not see them. Having these upgrades would certainly improve my rating.
I love this app. The translations are mostly accurate and very quick, and it's very good for translating slang. There are no ads and you can save as many translations as you want to look through them later. However, one feature I really loved was the ability to tap on a word and look at synonyms, the gender and infinitive of the word, and see how the word is used in example sentences. I'd also like a list of all the conjugations of a word (either for pronouns or for the different tenses.) Thanks
I really like using this app most of the time, its one of the best translation apps out there, and I especially appreciate the feature of word by word alternate translations, which goes a long way to making sentences more comprehensible. however, I got this for reading manga, and when I plug images into the app, it does not translate in the proper right to left reading order, resulting in multi-line sentences being cut up and shuffled into incomprehensible gibberish.
The desktop version is probably one of the best, if not the best, translators for documents and text I have ever used. It allows you to toggle between formal and informal speech (I use it for Spanish, mostly), to check for alternative vocabulary words or phrases, and to translate audio. I only gave it 4 stars because the mobile app is more limited in that it doesn't allow for the ability to check for alternative words but it's still superior to other translation apps I've used in the past.
Superior translation quality as compared to Google Translate and/or Microsoft Translate. However, the camera translation function is inferior. It does not convert languages in real time. With DeepL you must take a photo and wait. Also, the number of languages is far more limited. But, the major Western languages are covered and, with respect to those, such as German, French et. al., Deepl offers considerable superior translation quality, very close to equaling a real human.
It does seem accurate. (German translation). But unlike the desktop version, the ability to change between the infomal you (du) and the formal you (Sie), is not an option. It does indeed seem more accurate than Google Translate. But just like Google translate, one is stuck with the Formal Sie (you) when translating. Still, anyway, a good app.
Easily the best Japanese translator I’ve ever found or used. It’s hard to imagine there are better ones out there, especially for free. Even outside of Japanese, DeepL is a pretty reliable translator. One thing that seems unique to them is the providing of alternative translations. I think it’s really useful and helpful. The app is easy to use. The only thing missing would be a dictionary or even a history, but, still, hands down, one of the best translators out there.
This all USED TO BE amazing. However, sadly now since some recent update it's constantly crashing and worthless, always saying "there's an error." The only fix I've been able to find is uninstalling and then reinstalling, only for it to work a day or two and having to do the same thing again. It's a real bummer, hopefully they get it sorted soon.
I like the app and the accuracy of the translations. But there's two flaws that drives me mad. When you use the voice translation option you have no ability to use punctuation. Other voice to text applications will automatically punctuate your speech. The other issue I have is with how long the mic will remain "hot." So many times I'm finding myself having to speak as fast as possible without pausing or else the mic stops listening and I have to start all over again.
Great App, better than Google. Voice Recognition for Japanese needs to be improved. 9/10 times Google voice picks me up better when I'm trying to say something, and sometimes text won't pop up when I use the mic button on my keyboard. Not a deal breaker by any means, though. Fantastic for translation or if you're a new learner practicing. ありがとうございます!
It's decent but not all that innovative. I'd say they need to add an on screen reader and live video translation. Oh, and also no audio or live transcription? At least not in my app though audio recording is shown in the play store images. Offline translation, nothing needs to be said there. All these would bring it a step above the others. By the way, when I press enter I want it to translate. I don't need a new line. It's silly.
This app is amazing! It has helped me read physical books in other languages and be able to translate some English books into other languages to help me learn them. However, one thing I want to request is that there be an update that translates the quotation marks correctly into either the emdash or guillemets, depending on how they're supposed to be presented
Great app, I'm using it a lot! But compared to the deepl website, there is one thing that could be improved in the mobile version. When I have the input set as detect language and I write something in the output language, the browser would change the output to the next language in the list. But in mobile, without manually changing it, I would translate in the same language. That would be a great feature to implement in the mobile app too.
