Translator Pro 2.5.0.0
In case you need one such tool on a regular basis or only for a few times, Translator Pro could become one of your favorite assistants once you install and start using it onto your Windows Phone.
Clean graphics straightforward front-end
This application offers you a simple, yet quite practical and well structured interface, where the ease of use is one of the main goals. The light color scheme and decent graphics are consistent all through the app, while moving around the different sections of the utility is carried out fluently.
If there are no ads in sight, do not thing you are out of the woods just yet, because after using the app a couple of times you will start to receive prompt for rating Translator Pro when it is launched and some offers for trying out other utilities when trying to close it.
Quick translation with voice recognition
The utility provides a basic translation module in the main screen, where you can pick the source language and the target one, or leave the source on "Auto-Detect" mode to have the app figure out the origin and make the interlingual rendition happen.
If adding the words manually is not your thing, you can try the speech to text feature and dictate the text, but pay attention to the pronunciation because the voice recognition engine might have a hard time getting your input, especially in noisy environments.
Somewhat of a bother is the cursor that you have to use when editing or selecting text strings as it is white, just like app's background, so moving it into the desired position will be pretty difficult.
Live translation for conversations
With Translator Pro you can revisit all the attempts you made to translate some words and phrases as they are kept inside the "History" area, but there is another feature that may steal the show, namely the conversation translator.
That module enables you to choose the languages of the two parties involved and when the input is sent in one of the languages, the translation in the other tongue is placed inside the same box. The voice recognition engine can be used here as well.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The app has a simple appearance, practical but without customization options for the GUI and with some annoying prompts. |
Function9
The translation modules work very well, the voice recognition could be improved a bit, while the content sharing feature is a welcomed bonus. |
Security7
A bit too curious, Translator Pro looks into the phone dialer, owner and phone identities even if these are not related to its functionality. |
Battery7
While the application is running the power consumption is moderate to high, so the battery usage remains relatively within normal limits. |
Price9
All the features are offered free of costs, even if not free of nuisances, but still, the utility has a very good value overall. |
Compatibility9
Those who want to give Translator Pro a go should try it only on Windows Phone 8 and above devices. |
