Ratings and Reviews
相手の言語の翻訳が履歴に残らないのが残念
前置きすると、いくつか試した翻訳アプリではダントツに良くて、しかも無料。
翻訳した後にもう一度再翻訳してくれるので、意図した翻訳になっているか、確認出来るのが特に良い。
その上で星一つマイナスは、相手の言語の翻訳が履歴に残らないこと。
相手が回答した翻訳は残らないので、いくつか聞く際には、自分で覚えておかないといけない。
問い合わせたがそういう仕様とのこと。
改善されると良いなぁ。
翻訳の精度がとても良い
精度が良く変換速度も早いので観光案内・道案内ならば全く問題なく使用できると思います。
いらっしゃいませ→May I help you?などの婉曲表現も直訳ではなく伝わるよう翻訳してくれるので大変便利です。
このアプリを持っているだけですこし、日本に訪れた海外観光客の方に話しかける勇気が持てました。
近々海外旅行に行く友人にも便利だからと勧めました。
たくさん使わせていただきます。
練度が上がって来た。
iOSがバージョンアップして古いバージョンが使えなくなったのでApp store でバージョンアップしたらオンラインで無いと使えないのが不便になったが、他の似たようなApp より正確に通訳してくれるのは有難い。
ドイツ語のvoice入力にも対応しているので今度ドイツ人と会話してみたい。イタリア語のvoice入力に対応していないのが残念だ。ヴェトナム語の対応が思った以上に優秀なのには驚いた。
日本で外国人に使うには便利だが、国外ではオンラインで無いと使えないという点で星一つマイナスにした。
