Ratings and Reviews
Does not translate at all
Really disappointed. I was hoping to get a basic translator and it didn’t work at all; not for Chinese, Arabic or French. They need to fix it or take it down.
Needs a lot of work
Was not able to translate even simple English into French. Needs a lot of work. I wasted three dollars on this.
Not Good
Didn't recognize more than half of the words.
