This is an amazing app, especially the concurrent translate using all engines. Thank you

We have to thank @Bnyro - main developer of the application. He also develops the wonderful LibreTube :)

In Russian, we say “for the nookie”.

FarLine99, 7 months ago

yup, it is kinda beautiful

Turns out I just missed the accented ç in garçons

The app is neat. Thank you for the tip.

E: I like that it integrates into the Android context menu as well. You can hit translate after selecting text.

Fantastic! I have a question regarding the app. I understand that it can translate words and text from pictures, but I also noticed a microphone feature which I assume is for voice dictation. How does the app process voice input? Is the voice data sent to a server for translation, and if so, who is responsible for handling this data?

There seems to be a discussion tab for questions on the git page, but it seems a bit dead in there…

I did find a possible answer in the issues but I don’t know what it really means.

| PS: RECORD_AUDIO? Voice input?

Yes, exactly. But it’s only available on devices having a STT service inbuilt (so with Google services), so I don’t know if it actually works, lol.

Fronm this I guess it either used Google online, or some local voice to text included in the Google services.

Substance_P, 7 months ago

Thanks for this, yeah I also looked at the privacy policy on GitHub and it was pretty well bare bones. I haven’t ever used the voice to text function nor the dictation abilities on my phone due to Google services having mostly a monopoly over crunching the data. I know that now days we are starting to see more A.I driven services, and I’d admit that I am not 100% in the know, but I’d assume that Google will be handling this part of the translation as it’s reliable and free.

You might like the FUTO voice input app.

This is incredible, thanks for the heads up, I’ve been looking an app like this for a good while.
