Yandex.Translation. Although this application is inferior in many respects to its main competitor, Google Translate, it has one undeniable advantage, namely, it gives users the ability to download and save offline dictionaries. Moreover, the application is absolutely free.

Other positive qualities of Yandex.Translate include the presence of transcriptions for words and examples of their use. The translator could be called the best for Russian-speaking users, however, the lack of voice translation and text recognition from the image makes it difficult to do this.

English-russian dictionary. Another translator for iOS that is popular among users of apple devices and supports offline work.

About five years ago, a good dictionary and translator for an iPhone cost a lot of money, and good ones, and besides, free ones did not exist at all. After the release of free translators for iPhone and iPad from Google and Yandex, the policies of other companies have also changed and there are now a lot of them in the App Store.

Today in the review of the best, five free translators for iPhone and iPad, with the help of which you can not only translate words and sentences, but also communicate without difficulties while abroad.

Lingvo dictionary + photo translator from English to Russian and 8 more languages

A powerful database of dictionaries in ABBYY Lingvo provides first-class and accurate translation online and offline. A basic set of 10 dictionaries is free, but if you need something more than an ordinary translator, you will have to pay. On the plus side, I will take a good search - by entering a word, not only the translation appears, but also the variants of use in the bulk of phrases.

The translator also has a quick translation from the camera, but it works inconveniently, only one word. To translate an entire sentence or page, developers sell a separate application that costs 379 rubles.

Another feature of the translator is cards - phrases or words that you want to learn can be added to a separate section.

Both corporations and Yandex and Google are trying to promote their services in all directions. The Yandex.Translator application stands out for its simplicity and good functionality - here you can translate without the Internet, and a photo translator, and voice input. And of course it's completely free.

From my own experience, I can with complete confidence say - simultaneous translation works very well even with a poor internet connection. Large texts from photos are translated 50/50, sometimes the application cannot recognize the text at all.

There is also a great trick with which you can quickly delete the written text - you just need to swipe to the left and the input field will become empty.

The translator is interesting for certain functions missing from competitors - a translator keyboard and a widget in the notification center. As for the rest, the translator is very simple and straightforward, it can voice sentences in their entirety and store favorites in a separate section. For the bulk of languages, there are voice translation settings - you can choose which voice the voice will read, female or male, as well as the reading speed.

iTranslate is free, but it has an adware at the bottom, however, you can turn it off by purchasing iTranslate Premium for 529 rubles, which also includes speech recognition and translations with a large amount of text.

As it seems to me, the best and most convenient translator for iPhone and iPad. Google has all of the above functions absolutely free and all this in a pleasant and user-friendly interface. Translation of text from photos works fine, failures are very rare. There is even quite tolerable handwriting input available. I don’t understand for whom it was made, but the fact of its presence is already a plus.

The history of translations is conveniently executed, which is located immediately below the input field - no need to search for recently translated words and sentences in different categories... But Google Translate has a big drawback - it cannot work without an Internet connection.

Microsoft Translator

Translator from Microsoft is still quite young, the application appeared in the App Store last summer, but it has already won over some users. The developers have focused on simultaneous translation, which makes it possible to communicate with people without knowing their language.

You just need to open the translator on the iPhone and Apple Watch, activate the instant translation function and give the iPhone to the interlocutor - the application shows the translation simultaneously on the iPhone and the watch. True, it does not function very accurately now, and there are not many languages, although there is Russian, which is already good.

We did not forget to add the necessary functions, such as translation from a photo, to the application - it was done well and conveniently. The translator is absolutely free, but you don't need to expect anything unusual from it yet, the application contains a lot of minor errors and shortcomings.

A bit of history

Machine translation is one of the first large-scale tasks that was posed to engineers immediately after the creation of computers. It is noteworthy that the most demanded direction of translation was originally Russian-English, which allowed the Americans to process text information (including, of course, intelligence) faster from the USSR in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Work was carried out in the opposite direction.

Why Google Translate is the best today

Like 70 years ago, today the quality of translation depends mainly not on the skill of the programmers working on the application, but on the array of data on which it is trained. Naturally, no company in the world can compare with Google in terms of processed text information, and hence the quality of the translation. In rare cases, highly specialized applications and services can compete with a Google translator, but for the average user, we can safely recommend Google Translate.

What the free Google Translate app for iPhone and iPad can do

Offline translation into 59 languages ​​(online translation into 103 languages)

These are all common languages ​​and dialects of our planet, not counting the exotic spoken by two and a half African villages. That is, it will be very difficult for you to find a person on the Internet with whom it will be impossible to communicate through Google translator... At the same time, 59 languages ​​are available for offline download (separately) and use without an Internet connection.

You can download language packs in Settings programs in section Offline translation.

You can enter a word (phrase) either manually or by voice.

If necessary, the translated phrase can be read out by clicking on the speaker icon.

In addition, the translation can be enlarged to full screen by pressing this button.

Conversation mode (instant automatic voice translation) in 32 languages

If you go to a foreign-language state and try to communicate with people on the street, then instead of text input it will be much more convenient to use voice input. You say the phrase in your native language into the microphone of your smartphone or tablet, and Google Translate instantly responds through the speakers in the local language.

This translation is currently available for 32 directions, including Russian, English, German, French and other languages.

Translation from camera or photo into 37 languages

Another problem that a Google interpreter can solve is the translation of inscriptions, plates, signboards without text input. For example, when making a voyage in Asia, you do not have to install all the necessary keyboards with hieroglyphs on the iPhone, you just need to point the camera at a sign with a Chinese or Japanese inscription, and the application independently recognizes and translates text from or into 37 languages. You can recognize the text on the uploaded image in the same way, or even draw from memory the characters you saw the day before (Google Translate recognizes handwritten text in 93 languages).

Phrasebook - your own list of necessary words and phrases

It will not be superfluous to take advantage of the opportunity to create your own phrasebook. The application allows you to mark and save translations of words and expressions for future use. All languages ​​are supported. To save, press the star. All saved translations will be automatically placed in the tab of the same name.

Handwriting input

Just write your text by hand and translate it into any of the 93 languages ​​available.

Gone are the days when translators on the App Store were either very expensive or very poor. With the release of applications from leading search engines to mobile platforms, the picture has rapidly changed. Let's list and consider the most convenient and functional dictionaries and translators for iPhone and iPad today.

LangBook

LangBook is a very expensive and high quality dictionary / translator for iPhone and iPad.

English, German, French, Spanish, Chinese, Russian ... Lots of dictionaries.

The dictionaries are pleasantly surprising in detail, the LangBook contains the transcription and all meanings of the entered word. The online translator is powered by Google Translate.

In addition to speech input, Google Translate has handy handwriting input. This function will be especially convenient for those who know the languages ​​of the eastern countries. Also, the program can translate text on the go using your iPhone's camera, but it works this function bad, but with the translation of the text from the photo "Google Translate" copes quite well.

Yandex.Translation

Domestic translator from the company of the same name. It is inferior on all fronts to the translator from Google, but it has the ability to save dictionaries offline. And this is great, because you can find similar functionality mainly in expensive programs.
