After downloading this app and playing with it for a while I have to say it’s great. Here in California we have a huge Hmong, Hispanic, Filipino, Armenian and Punjabi population. This app only supports Spanish and Hmong. It would be nice if it supported the other languages used here as I work with the public and this app would make communicating much easier.

If you can't get the app to recognize more than one word, your French may not be as good as you think. I'm not trying to be mean, just saying that a lot of people who haven't been immersed in a language think they're good because they've studied a few years of it. I studied French for years but didn't really get fluent until I traveled quite a bit in Québec and a couple of times in France. I also listen to Radio-Canada and the Radio France stations regularly(France Info, France Inter, etc.). I think my point is that the app is not for playing around and testing how good your knowledge of a foreign language is--the language it recognizes is more like the proper rhythm and pronunciation of a native or near-native speaker. It actually gets my French better when I speak normally and "conversationally" than it does when I make exaggerated efforts to enunciate the syllables.

I find this app very useful when trying to get something said to my friend in Italy, my Korean nail lady. Spanish friends. It is hard to learn. Unless you take a phrase and go over and over. But EXCELLENT, when traveling. I have needed and used it many, many times. One of my more favorite apps.

Used for years. Genius 3-Language Translator and Two separate Mike Buttons for safety of controlling your iPhone lately copied by many other Translators, including Google - copycat ) makes this Translator quite a Unique Lifesaver for International Travelers.Highly recommended.
