What is a translation app?
A translation app is a software tool that converts spoken or written content from one language into another. Apps like Wordly are designed for real-time communication, instantly translating conversations into multiple languages so participants can listen or read along in the language they prefer.
How does a translation app work?
Translation apps use artificial intelligence to process spoken words or text, recognize the source language, and deliver an accurate translation in real time. With Wordly, attendees simply join through a browser or the mobile app and choose their preferred language. The app provides both audio and caption output to make conversations seamless and inclusive.
Are translation apps accurate?
Modern translation apps powered by AI deliver highly accurate results for live conversations, events, and meetings. Wordly enhances accuracy further with the option to add a custom glossary, which ensures industry-specific terminology, product names, and unique vocabulary are translated consistently.
What’s the difference between a translation app and a dictionary app?
A dictionary app provides word-for-word definitions and translations, which can be helpful for quick lookups but is limited in context. A translation app, on the other hand, processes entire phrases and conversations in real time, capturing meaning and context to ensure smoother and more natural communication.
