You get two buttons at the top where you can select languages, a middle section that shows the translation, and a bottom field where you can either type or speak the lines you want to translate. Not only the UI is cleaner, but it’s also easy to use. With all that said, let’s get to our comparison, shall we?Īs far as User Interface is concerned, I like Apple’s approach better.
