Crashes quite often

Trolleria on

Germany

Short text in Chinese in vertical columns is translated as horizontal text. Pure nonsense. No way to switch to vertical mode - app crashes.

Schlägt die Brücke zum Japanischen

TomDrive99 on

Germany

Eine super App um sich im japanischen Umfeld zurecht zu finden!

Perfect

Funktioniert hervorragend, ich konnte während meines Aufenthalts in China so gut wie jede Speisekarte übersetzen

Waygo helped me a lot

Franz Immergruen on

Germany

Very helpful! I used it for chinese. The App was able to find the majority of my searches. It has difficulties with colored signs though. Overall positive, facilitates travelling through China definitely!

Great tool

LadySBR on

Germany

Just snap a pic or use one from your library and have it translated into English. Only tried the Chinese version and it works. Could be quicker and would be nice to set library (or other sources) as default

Useless when in Japan

Frits Peters on

Germany

We hoped to get some useful results from the app during our trip in Japan. So far it has proven to be quite useless, it has obvious problems translating and if it does manage to translate it provides varying results. A waste of money!

Very useful!!

Chinesestudent321 on

Germany

A very useful tool to study the Chinese language. The characters of the pinyin text should be bigger, to see the strokes of the tones more clearly.

Does it work?

.lexx on

Germany

It would be great if it worked! Since I downloaded it including new update, it crashes while opening. Does it work for others? I am using the iPhone 6.

Almost perfect

bschlingmann on

Germany

Since they added the long requested photo translate feature, I am more than happy with this app. I use it mainly to translate restaurant menus in traditional Chinese characters and it makes my life as an expat in Taiwan without strong Chinese skills a lot easier.

Sehr gute App die macht was es soll.

Unbedeutender FAZ-Leser on

Germany

Super ist, dass sie die chinesischen Zeichen, pinyin und die Übersetzung anzeigt. So hat man eine Kontrolle, dass alles richtig erkannt wurde, und wer pinyin kann, kann es dann auch aussprechen. Funktioniert auch offline. Leider ist das Erfassen der Schrift mit dem kleinen Fenster etwas fummelig und je nach Schriftuntergrund wird auch nicht alles erkannt. Alles in allem aber sehr empfehlenswert für alle die sich in China auf eigene Faust durchschlagen wollen.
