Surely more than once you have used a translator to know the meaning of some other word, but the problem comes when we want to use the translator for something other than translating words, we have always opted for Google translator, but today we will talk about the translator of Microsoft and the advantages it has over other translators.
The Microsoft translator is a powerful tool with which we can, apart from translating words, phrases or complete websites, use several very useful functions for everyday life outside of our country.
Functions as interesting as useful can be the option to write by hand and have the translator automatically translate them for us, another option is the instant translation of images and tips to learn other languages. It should be noted that Huawei last year took the Microsoft Translator as the main translator for its mobiles.
DeepL, an alternative to Google Translate
Integration with Cortana
The Windows 10 virtual assistant, Cortana, has shown that it is very useful in a personal area of use, in terms of its use in our country, since, in the United States, Cortana has very advanced functions.
We can ask Cortana to automatically start the translator for a real-time conversion or while we have a written conversation, translate the messages thanks to the integration that both applications have.
Write by hand and translate it
Windows Ink is a new function that Windows 10 has, it is a handwriting recognition monitor, in the case of the Microsoft translator, we can write by hand whatever we want to have it translated for us.
It should be noted that not all languages are available with the Windows Ink option, we have tried several and the one that works best is with the English language.
WordReference, what it is and how it works
Multiple languages in the same conversation
With this interesting option and thanks to the synchronization of the mobile app, with the translator we will be able to have a conversation with several people with different languages and the translator will make the translation for us at the moment.
In addition, each participant of the conversion will translate into their native language in such a way that you can have a clear conversation without communication problems since the translation is done in real time and thus you can have a much more fluid conversation.
Image translation
One of the most powerful functions is the translation of images , it is true that the Google translator also has this option, but Microsoft goes a step further with the option of adding photos from our mobile or computer.
We can upload any image to the translator’s app and thus obtain a translation of the same image to see what it means, very useful for example, if we move to another country and want to see what the signs or posters mean.
Phrase books
One of the options that has caught our attention the most, the Microsoft translator has a kind of dictionary of phrases with which we can have help to hold conversations with other people.
We can see these phrase books whenever we want since it works offline in such a way that you will not need an Internet connection to consult them. In addition, we can also have this phrasebook in the languages we want on our mobile phone thanks to the Microsoft Translator app.
As you have seen, the Microsoft translator is a great alternative to the well-known Google Translator, so we advise you to give it a try and use it as the main translator on all your occasions that you need.
