SayHi Translate

I’ve been using this little app to communicate with my Italian relatives in Rome who do not speak English. The translation seems to be working well. I copy the text they send and paste it into the Say Hi English window, click send and boom! I get a translation that I understand. Although the words are arranged differently and sometimes there are no English words or Italian words to change but that’s true for any translator. That’s what motivates me to learn the language. Thank you! Ho usato questa piccola applicazione per comunicare con i miei parenti italiani a Roma che non parlano inglese. La traduzione sembra funzionare bene. Copio il testo che inviano e incollarlo nella finestra di Say Hi inglese, fare clic su Invia e boom! Ottengo una traduzione che ho capito. Anche se le parole sono disposte in modo diverso e a volte non ci sono parole inglesi o parole italiane per cambiare, ma questo è vero per qualsiasi traduttore. Questo è ciò che mi motiva a imparare la lingua. Grazie!

Seriously. I live in Japan, and while I speak Japanese, my friends and family who visit me do not. My mother showed me this app 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 this app. 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.

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 the app 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.

I love how this app 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!

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.
