An editorial reading of the saved reviews

A live translator with a continuous conversation mode where users confirm it genuinely does not require a button press after every phrase. That is rare among competitors. But there is a hidden paywall: $59 for real-time mode on top of the base subscription.

What people use it for

A traveler who needs a hands-free conversation mode with no button-pressing and is willing to pay twice for it.

What reviews praise

Conversation mode with no manual trigger: both people speak in turn, the app detects pauses and switches languages on its own.
Users share a pair of earbuds.

What reviews complain about

Live mode costs an extra $59 on top of the main subscription, and this is not disclosed before purchase.
Keyboard translation is slow (up to 30 seconds).
No offline support.

What users experience

ONLY app i have found that does not require constant button pushing to talk. True conversation mode, i use one earbud and partner uses the other. If they add offline mode where downloaded languages can be used outside of wifi i would give 5 stars

I just purchased this app because I am traveling to South Korea and I want to be able to understand the signs in the airport as well as communicate with the taxi drivers, however the speech playback speed is way to fast and a bit glitched. If there is a way to slow it down that would be helpful!

The keyboard translate from messages or WhatsApp is very slow. Sometimes it takes up to 30 seconds to translate. Other Translate programs are much much faster.
