It is certainly the simplest and most effective application. Google has not skimped on the means to develop Google Translation and make it an essential application.

In addition to allowing you to translate written text, Google Translation allows you to translate using the camera. Indeed, you just have to make the document or of your choice appear on the screen and the words will appear as if by magic.

Microsoft also wanted to enter the translation application market. More or less, we end up with a service close to what Google already offers. On the other hand, the Redmond firm has taken care of its interface, which is more aerated than that of the previous application.

There are written or vocal translations in about fifty languages, the possibility to use your camera to detect the text of a poster for example or the of connected watches.

Another recognized translator, iTranslate is proving to be a first choice alternative to previous applications. The advantage of this service is that it has a dictator that allows you to see the different translations of a word where others only give one solution.

For the rest, iTranslate offers a pleasant interface, it s 90 different languages and even offers a “romanization” function that transforms letters from non-Latin languages into Latin characters.

As its name suggests, the Voice Translation application focuses on audio translation. This makes it easier to translate sentences on the fly, for example, in a conversation.

Traduction Vocale s more than 80 different languages and is able to correct spelling mistakes and suggest words. The application also has the advantage of being very easy to use and totally free of charge, but it is only available on Android.
