Top Pro

Can be used offline

After downloading the language package(s) over a connection, the app can be used offline for translations. See More

Poor translation accuracy

Google Translate does well with single words, but takes a very literal approach to translating sentences. See More

Top Pro

Two-way speech translation

When two speakers want to communicate in different languages, the app provides back-and-forth translation for both speakers (many apps work only in a single direction). See More

Top Con

No voice input offline

You can use the Camera and can type, but you cannot talk to translate if you're offline. See More

Add Video or Image

Top Con

No offline option for translations

The assistant requires internet connection to translate text. See More

Top Pro

Easy and quick access from anywhere and anytime

In most supporting devices a long press on the home button triggers the assistant so no need for multi-tasking. See More

Top Con

Not supported on all devices

Because of Android's relatively slow updates on phones that are not manufactured by Google itself, the assistant is still not supported on some devices. In addition, some manufacturers such as Samsung have their own assistant so the Google one needs to be installed separately. See More

Top Pro

Source and target languages are easy to input and also by voice

The source language is usually automatically inferred from the text that's being translated and the target language is a part of the voice command so no need to use extra inputs to choose them. For example asking "Good morning in Spanish" from the assistant will automatically be translated from English to Spanish. See More

Top Pro

Built in to Android (on supporting devices)

Comes with Android out of the box so no need to install an app. See More
