• You can also access the voice recognition search so that you don’t actually have to type anything into the app, rather you just speak into the phone and it will translate your spoken sentence for you

Conclusion:

This is a pretty sweet app because it can translate things into 40 different languages.  This is the biggest collaboration of languages and translations for the Android market.  You will be able to use this app to search for definitions of words in different languages.  You will also be able to take advantage of the voice search option so you can just speak a phrase into the phone and have the program translate it for you without you having to type in anything.  You can also use the pronunciation guide which will help you to speak like a native.  Not only that, you will be able to use the bookmarking option as well as share these definitions with friends and family.  Overall, this is a great way to learn some key phrases and sentences in a different language.  Great for if you are traveling overseas.
