SayHi Translate Reviews

by St.Ox

I was trying to use this to translate a film which is in a language I do not know and which is without subtitles. SayHiTranslate is only able to translate (and understand) male voices. The lead character in this film is a woman and SayHiTranslate has not been able to comprehend a single thing she or any of the other female characters have said and has not even spit out incorrect translations. SayHiTranslate has, however, translated every word the 3 male characters have spoken even when those translations are clearly incorrect because they’re full of imaginary words or incomprehensible phrasings. I would strongly suggest the devs retest (and recalibrate) all languages with female voices.

I applaud these developers for what they have created here in terms of UI and concept. However, when it comes to functionality, translation and features they have a long way to go. I find that SayHiTranslate is consistently slow and start up. I have reported this several times and they have not been able to correct this. I also find that the actual translations in Spanish I have several errors in terms of syntax and overall translation compared with other platforms. They need to improve this with their translation provider. I would also like to see them break down translations more clearly with paragraphs. This is something that Google translate does quite well. I would like to see these guys really make this into a much more robust application and I wish them well.

Just started testing! And I am pretty nervous about downloading apps I don’t know! This one seems light and does its job perfectly!Seems good! Need to speak at a certain pitch in order for it to understand! Overall I will give it the 4 but would have given it another 1/2 if it were smarter! Needs development and here I would like to thank all those software engineers who bring us their hard work with incredible software right into hour hands! You guys deserve some ads! Will make another review after awhile!

SayHiTranslate is mostly fast and accurate and I like it better than google’s app for learning vocabulary. However it sometimes cannot hear stops, particularly ‘b’, ‘p’, ‘d’, ‘t’, and ‘k’. It sometimes repeatedly mishears, in either language, it won’t try any other possible rendering, does not often get better with changing volume or intonation, and doesn’t give a chance to type a correction or give feedback. It does occasionally ask for feedback, but only when it’s already correct... there’s no chance for improvement unless I can feed back when it doesn’t hear me correctly.
I really like SayHiTranslate but wish it would allow corrections or feedback at any time.

Aside from the big issue, money, SayHiTranslate is free contrary to most of the apps that are in the Apple Store. You wouldn't have to pay a subscription for SayHiTranslate. Not only is it easy to use it has two applications in SayHi. You can dictate in whatever language you want and secondly it has a translator which allows to translate into several languages. So a translator is in written and verbal form so if you had to choose to from so many of the applications in the Apple Store, you would be charged twice. Therefore you have to look at this as two applications: you have a dictation app which can be in any language along with a speech to text, which is translated into any language , that you want or need. BTW, this review was written using SAYHI.

I use translation apps to know what I’m hearing as I add animation to international language e-learning courses. I play the couse narration through high quality speakers, and let SayHiTranslate translate on the fly.

This routinely trips up the translation apps by Microsoft and Google, which translate my own speaking yet can’t handle speech from a speaker — but Say Hi Translate makes easy work of it. Say Hi is a lifesaver, and I’m forever grateful.

Love your app — I’m an amateur rider. I use your app all the time. Like the different Spanish languages. My friend in Peru. I use Peruvian Spanish. In my books, use Mexican Spanish. — saw you have male/female voices. Got this idea just now while installing it in my old 2010 iPad. — in my word processing app, I put both languages in my Scriener app because, not, my Spanish isn’t good & I am forced to read it in English. — again, as an option, adding he said, she said in your app, automatically the voice will change from female to male Voices, and it could work in conversations. Just putting in she or he using colons: writing or saying the language.
Keep up the good work
The best app ever!

SayHiTranslate saved me during my trip to Paris. The locals were so impressed with our willingness to try and communicate everyone we encountered took the time and had the patience to converse with us as we translated with SayHiTranslate . It made the trip more memorable than we could have imagined.

At home, I use SayHiTranslate to translate Spanish from friends and family since I am not fluent. It helps me practice!

SayHi is such tremendous help to me in my Spanish learning efforts. Learning "on the fly", as I explore how to say something I am thinking and want to express, makes the learning process so much fun. Also, being able to switch languages when I want to communicate with another person who has limited English language capabilities is very easy and very rewarding. Great app, to say the least! Thanks and thanks for the updates

I have been using SayHiTranslate for years. It’s pretty good. I’ve used it to help me communicate with foreign associates and friends as well as to work on projects that required a more comprehensive knowledge of the language. It does not replace actually learning the language which would help you to catch when it’s telling you to say something you may not intend to. So of course It’s not perfect nor is any translation tool I’ve tried but it is extremely helpful and worth having.

SayHiTranslate is easy to use & it’s nice that it offers voice / speech to text translation, as well as written translation. It also includes pronunciation & the option to click the word so the pronunciation repeats for you. I’ve been using it for Spanish & French translation & tested it out a bit & I’m pleased with the accuracy. Very helpful app. To speak, all you need to do is tap the speaker button; you don’t have to hold it, which is great.

I supervise someone who speaks Spanish and very little English. I am learning Spanish but to get important information across it can really be a struggle! SayHiTranslate is AWESOME. Now my colleague can express himself with ease. It is hard for people to learn English too because here in the US we speak a lot of slang. This has been incredibly helpful. It is really great for learning and absorbing another language as well. Thank you!!!

by Slaytoo

I am using SayHiTranslate with an on line class. I can’t spell in English so why would I spell well in Spanish?

When I fill in a lesson in Spanish I say it it Spanish to say hey. This does a bunch of good thinks 1. Your app understands my Spanish I am doing something right. 2. I can correct my spelling. Often the default in on line studies is if you miss spell a word you end up in a loop. Rather than learning, you get in a rage. More and more I speak and I am right! Positive reinforcement. !

As a medical provider it is imperative that I be able to communicate with my patients and their families. During moments official translation was temporarily unavailable SayHiTranslate helped a great deal. What makes SayHiTranslate special is that families seem to really enjoy the quality of the translation and feel understood. As a bilingual person, I can confirm that the Russian translation is spot on

Very impressed by how well SayHiTranslate handles technical language and jargon as well.

Please add text to speech capability for Haitian Creole!

SayHiTranslate starts at 5 stars because it’s free. It remains 5 stars because it is convenient, accurate, voice translate, spoken results, and extremely easy to use. And so far, ad free.

Very well designed and executed app. Intuitive without buttons or too many steps to deal with to use or switch languages. The translation responses are quick and spoken. The voice dictation is accurate. If needed it’s easy to get a keyboard.

I’m VERY irritated with the translation apps I paid upgrades for and are all now subscription. That’s ridiculous and a deterrent for some people who really need a translator.

Thank you for sharing and maintaining such an incredible app! And especially for free without ads. Please consider including an optional ‘donation’ button in Settings so I send money occasionally to support future development.

by AholeRonald

I love how SayHiTranslate easily allows two different people speaking two different languages to have a conversation. Instead of each translation replacing the one before it and instead of having to keep manually swapping input and output languages, you can press the button for either of two languages, say something, and it will be shown in a speech bubble in both the original and translated text and become part of the scrolling history. The speech to text translation is high-quality as well!

My wife, who is from Mexico and is an official translator as part of her job, showed me SayHiTranslate and raves about it!

She's been struggling with people using Google translate for documents and who have been trying to communicate with it for years!

While Google translate works with short, simple sentences, it's accuracy dwindles with the number of words input at once. A significant percentage of documents translated with it are a half-step up from outright gibberish. On top of that, it completely misses dialect and nuances. It's simply not designed to be a serious translation tool.

SayHiTranslate is so easy to use, and is SO MUCH MORE ACCURATE!!!!! It even has selectable options for 19 different Spanish speaking countries. I personally have carried on conversations with it, and as long as it heard what I said correctly, it was spot on in it's translation!

I definitely recommend this for anyone who's struggling with the necessity of speaking with non english speaking persons.

Seriously. I live in Japan, and while I speak Japanese, my friends and family who visit me do not. My mother showed me SayHiTranslate one day and I’ve been recommending it ever since. It has the most natural-sounding sentence structure for an auto-translator and it’s facilitated so many discussions that couldn’t have otherwise happened had we not had SayHiTranslate.

Certainly, the auto-translation isn’t perfect, but if it’s so easy to use both my 80-year old Japanese host mother and my mother can both use this to have a conversation together about life and their families, it has gone above and beyond most translation apps.

It would be kind of hard for me to rate this product I have only opened it up once you should program this for somebody that has used it for a while. I will be glad to give you a review after I have tried your app out okay thanks Robert
I used to say it when I was in china and man say is save my life now since I am back in the states for some reason on the English side when I say something it will not give me a response in Chinese have to say something in the Chinese side it will answer quite clearly is there anyway I can get you decided to say Chinese would be quite helpful I'm going to China this weekend thank you Robert
Put the Chinese voice back in the ab was there once before. What did you do fire your money maker that created that part of your your end. I like the application see it very much at least I can get Chinese characters not quite the same. I have a fiancé in China make routine routine trips and needed it very much thank you.
Robert
SayHi is wonderful. I say 5 stars

SayHi is the best app I have.

by Gr8xracer

I speak enough Spanish to “get by” in the Central American country I live in. Because I speak some Spanish I can tell whether the translation from English to Spanish is accurate. It is. I am using SayHiTranslate as a learning tool. I can speak a phrase in English, get the Spanish translation, and then repeat the Spanish translation into SayHiTranslate to see if my pronunciación is correct. Sometimes it translates to English incorrectly because of poor pronunciation or it sounds like another word. Great tool!

This is a very good app I’m so many ways,, it does what it says and more, plus it’s free so we really can’t complain.. This is a very useful app if you travel a lot and it’s very easy to learn.. Well worth a download you have nothing to lose and a lot to gain with this free app..
I gave it 3 stars which I think is pretty fair seems how I’ve only Just downloaded but give me a week I’ll be back with a real solid review..
thanks to the folks that made this happen keep up the good work and thanks for the free app ⭐️ 🌟

by Oldiebetter

It is extremely good, but sometimes it doesn't give 100% of what you mean to translate. It gives a literal translation, without the benefit of a brain which knows the full meaning of where the conversation was going. It will be very useful when I am in France, although I know some words, cannot carry on a conversation well. This will help me communicate better!!! Am very pleased with this...

by Wuruf

It's the best translation ever. I've always been looking for an application that translates Arabic into English in a true and excellent way, I am very grateful to you!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, SayHiTranslate is the only one I haven't thought of deleting it at all unlike some other apps that translate Arabic in an incorrect way which makes my English broken for others

by Mytrailmix

It doesn’t always translate perfectly....But if you’re bilingual you know that some things just don’t translate perfectly. Every language has its nuances which makes it difficult to capture everything in the exact manner it was spoken. But SayHiTranslate has done a pretty darn good job, at least with the languages I’ve used it for.

by Glam Goddess Kookie

On the first use of this application I totally enjoyed the ease of use their ability to switch quickly fast choose options between typing and speaking and regardless of how low I my speech was delivered, the application was able to understand my diction, the information being spoken and; infer natural human speech and and pitch not a robotic delivery.

by Archmsm

I usually ever write reviews because for some reason I think that they are fake or made up to sell a product or or .....anyway. I decided to write a review for SayHiTranslate because it’s simply perfect for what I need. Either speaking or typing. I wish they could perfection they accents and the speaking for more languages. Way to go guys. Great job !
