Photo Translator - Translate Reviews

I had bought an antique set of small wood carvings many years ago. I was told at the tine that they thought the pieces were a Mongolian 'chess' set. Ok. Lately I did a search and found some definitive information from a source in France. That person in turn told me of the worlds leading authority on this and was advised to find his book to get authoritative information. I found the book in a London dealer web site. I ordered it and it came. Of course it was in Italian. Although I have a small amount of Italian the detail in the text overwhelmed my capabilities. I found PhotoTranslator and bought it. In short order was able to easily translate the pertinent parts of the book and was able to delve into what had interested me that caused me to make this purchase of these amazing antiques in Budapest. I couldn't have been more pleased as to its ease of use and technical capabilities. I wholeheartedly recommend PhotoTranslator.

Tried 2nd photo (after signing for 3-day trial) of a 2nd Christian hymn in Hindi at Indian church: provided a nice OCR copy of the exact same text over my page - but STILL IN Hindi!!! Tried specifying “Hindi-To - English” but no change - still sharp digital text picture of exact same page as I already have in front of me - but no translation has taken place — I was told by an Indian brother-in-the-lord that this may be because the hymn book had Hindi text not in the native characters but as phonetic Roman characters so was not recognized as Hindi, so app simply reprinted the Roman English characters as they appeared without translating them to English — Perjaps, will photograph some Hindi characters next; but it seems a serious flaw mot to recognize Hindi written in the 26 characters of the English / American alphabet!

App is very simple and works great, no other app has the translation overlay that is incredibly important for heavily formatted pictures. I upgraded to the premium cause it was pretty cheap and I needed to translate a lot of pages in a book.

There are definitely improvements that can be made like a folder function to organize the photos you take.

Also I’m not faulting PhotoTranslator since honestly its translation quality is better than every other app except google translate. I don’t know why exactly but google translates OCR works incredibly well. Next best thing is definitely PhotoTranslator, I still use both because it’s nice being able to overlay the translated text since the (art) books I’m translating are heavily formatted, but I’ll switch to google translate when I need a paragraph that’s slightly more clear.

All in all great app and there’s none like it on PhotoTranslator Store.

I had this little Godzilla toy in my collection for a long time and recently I decided to check out who made it. Once I looked on the bottom of the feet I was struck with Japanese characters. I decided to find a translator app and was greeted with this particular app. Once I took a picture, I waited a few seconds and saw it’s accurate translation placed over the Japanese characters. I researched it and was shocked to find that my little Godzilla was a piece of Gojira’s history. Thank you

Ok so I was watching Mulan the other day and it was the end credits so it was on the side, luckily I had my phone so I took a picture of it and then I was trying to find a translation app so I tried so many of them but most of them needed money for a premium pack and I didn’t want to buy them so this was easy bc i was able to also use so I didn’t have to rewind and try to fine when to pause it so I found this really nice and really easy to use so I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 😁

I was looking for app two do this then I find PhotoTranslator and I had a Japanese hoodie on and I was trying two find a app that can take a pic and I find PhotoTranslator so I downloaded it and take a pic and it said toko thanks when I get money I will buy the full version of PhotoTranslator it’s a good thing that I find PhotoTranslator because I’m moving out of ca soon so thanks I will not delete PhotoTranslator any time soon keep up the good work I gotta find a new job soon so I can save up money and move out of ca thanks again

PhotoTranslator, while excelling at translating text and overlaying the translation where it was originally written, is filled to the brim with ads. While the ones I’ve encountered are short, the developers use this as a rewards mechanic. It is as follows:

1-First, you are treated to a short message asking if you want a premium version membership.

2-Next it either let’s you choose a photo or take one, or shows you an ad.

3-You now get your translation ASSUMING it recognizes the text in what you selected or took a photo of.

4-If not, go back through the premium version offer, watch an ad, retake the picture, and watch an ad again before getting your ‘reward’, as PhotoTranslator calls it, a.k.a. The one thing it was designed to do.

5-If it succeeds in translating the foreign text, congrats. If not rinse and repeat #4.

In short PhotoTranslator would be nearly perfect if it wasn’t begging for money or wasting your time with ads that are basically there to block you from an otherwise highly effective use of the darn thing.

I understand this is a free app BUT shouldn’t have the close out three or four adds for every translation. Even with that being sad after four or five translations PhotoTranslator stopped recognizing text in pictures. Had PhotoTranslator actually worked as advertised I may have considered upgrading to the paid version but with the hit or miss performance of the free version that is not an option. I won’t be paying for hit or miss.

I really like the Hobonichi planners. This coming year, I’ll be using the Mega Weeks planner that has an inspiration for each week, but only in Japanese. With PhotoTranslator, all I have to do is take a picture of the quote, and instantly it translates to English. I really like it, and believe it will be worth $30 a year, because at times I run across sentences in Spanish that I cannot read as well. So far, I really, really like it.

Ya know when you download an app that you need ASAP and legit just charges you to do what should be a simple 3 second task? This ones actually doesn’t do this. I was actually blown away to the point where I’m writing this review. We got some medical thermometers at work from China for scanning and we couldn’t make heads or tails of it. Snapped a pic and it just did it’s job perfectly as an app. Good on y’all.

It does work very well but there is one issue that destroys the whole app. You can only translate three photos A DAY. If you want to translate more photos you can either watch a add or you can pay a weekly subscription to have unlimited translations and no extra advertisements. Extra advertisements are simply advertisements for the weekly subscription. You get about three of them after every time you translate a photo. Just one or two seconds after you close the first membership add you get yet another one. This game is simply ruined by greed much like of a lot of other apps I know.

Although there is a lot of ad’s it is the best one I seen so far. Most apps make you pay a trail just to take more than one picture but, PhotoTranslator you only need to watch a quick ad. The only thing I will complain about is that It asked to track me when I first downloaded PhotoTranslator which was odd but besides that if you don’t mind looking at some ad’s I highly recommend this.

Before it asked you to pay in order to get no ads or watch a video so that wasn’t too bad. But now they won’t let you translate really any wordy piece of text without making you pay for it. They won’t even let you watch an ad anymore. And now they’ll only let you translate two photos a day. Before they did this update I was at least using their horrible app that’s honestly pretty bad at translating anyways(good for basic stuff) but now I won’t use this anymore and I’ll have to find another one

PhotoTranslator is great ngl, although they use too much ad, im not complaining since this is a free app and the dev gotta put app to earn monye, but the annoying thing is they use the same add (iTranslate) over over again, I wish they would change the add so at least it’s not annoying, nevertheless definitely recommend PhotoTranslator

Bought lifetime premium a few months ago. It worked great until A few days ago. Now I’m constantly asked to buy the lifetime premium again and watch videos to use PhotoTranslator .

The developer contacted me and pointed out that I should find an select restore purchases. I did that and now PhotoTranslator works great.

I don’t understand, it was working great. Now every time i translate something Spanish to english, it doesn’t do anything and leaves me with the original photo. And if i watch an ad to take a photo, i watch the full ad and it doesn’t let me. And when i press the camera icon it makes me watch another ad.

Ever since the last couple of days I can’t even open PhotoTranslator without it crashing, and it keeps getting stuck in English to English mode, but when I try to change the language, it crashes. Normally works super well but the apps been being very strange lately.

Listen, I swear I am not a bot but I really really love PhotoTranslator!! Why? It helps me so much the only thing that bugs me is that a subscription pops up but you don’t need to buy it, you can use the translator as many times as you need and it has many languages! It’s actually really helpful and like I said, I’m not a bot I’m a real person. TRUST ME

I downloaded PhotoTranslator to give PhotoTranslator a try. Found it not as impressive as I hope it to be so I deleted it within the same day. Came to realize it not only put me into the subscription but for the WHOLE YEAR! I tried to use the “contact us” from PhotoTranslator developer function. After writing the whole paragraph to explain the situation, it is to find the “send” bottom was disabled! I am still stuck in how to contact the merchant to unsubscribe it. If you haven’t download it, my advice to you is - don’t try it!

This is a very very nice Application because I can everything translate by this Application by the way you must download this Application I think A nicest App in the World for translate’ and this is easy to use you have fun With them.
And thanks for developer PhotoTranslator.❤️🤍

It’s so helpful especially to those learning multiple foreign languages in school, PhotoTranslator has honestly saved me at least an hour of sleep and when you only get 5ish hours of sleep a night an extra minute could be the difference of whether or not you fall asleep during class (my native language is English and I take French 2 Advanced and Mandarin Honors 1)

It worked once very well. Then, when i tried again the screen was too crowded. I couldn't find the trabajaron i wanted to see. So many pop ups. The space used for pop ups is so big and distracting that i couldn't find the translations. I am not sure. I think i will look for another application...

PhotoTranslator came in very handy when attempting to understand the Spanish language on a recent vacation. Not only does it give one the ability to go from one language to another, it also has a speech button to allow one to hear the intonations and accent.

PhotoTranslator itself is great 👍 it’s easy to use but there ARE SOO MANY ADS! i would still use it right now if there were less advertisements and videos. If you can stand ads every 2 minutes PhotoTranslator is great for you.

It’s just ok. Not always accurate and doesn’t work without internet. I downloaded PhotoTranslator while away in Europe. I use it mainly for menus and reading signs for travel. Once, while in a Café, I photographed the menu hit translate and ordered a coffee. The translation said it had Irish cream in the coffee. But, someone else who knew the menu and knew English said nope. Not Irish cream, it’s cherry liquor. I’m allergic to cherries. Thank goodness the lady new the translation was wrong.

I got the coolest gift in the mail. All instructions are in Asian text. I could find the kit online and I want to buy some for others. Using PhotoTranslator I immediately got the name. The only downside is the price. Forty dollars s year is way to much for my needs.

I WAS wanting to watch Netflix and somehow it was in Chinese and I obviously didn’t understand it so tried every other app and it cost misny and this one didn’t and it helped me find the change language icon so thanks recommenced for PhotoTranslator👍👍

So far it is very good, the translation is consistent and its way of translating everything at once is quite practical, the ads are not a problem.

The translations are super accurate the only thing I don’t like is that u have to watch an ad per translation but it’s not a big problem super easy to use👍🏻

The photo translator is honestly ehhhh .. not the best since a lot of the texts overlap in the photo but when you switch it over to “photo into text” the translation is actually pretty great 👍🏽
