Easy Translator

Translator services are available all over the internet,  so there isn't exactly a shortage of options for users looking to understand a passage not in their native language. Considering that the majority of these solutions come in the form of web apps and work just fine, the need for a dedicated piece of software is questionable at best.

As such, coming across a program like Easy Translator is most intriguing. It grants users the possibility to translate passages to and from any language, whilst also affording them the capability to export the text-to-speech pronunciations.

The tool works much like any translator out there: you introduce whatever you want translated in the text box, then the program will automatically translate it to your chosen language. There isn't anything more than that to the translation process per se: text-to-speech pronunciation is also available, and automatic language detection is likewise possible.

Translation-wise, the tool seems to differ from Google Translate or Bing, so it's likely that it uses its own algorithm. There's quite a large variety of languages that can be translated, so users should have no problem making full use of the program. In terms of accuracy, however, one can claim that the translations are serviceable. As always, treat everything with a grain of salt.

Users are able to export the translations as .txt files with just a few inputs, so there's no need for any copy-paste operations. You can also export the text-to-speech pronunciations as mp3 files with the press of a button.

If you find the list of available languages to be too cumbersome to navigate through, you may hide the languages you harbor no interest in through the Preferences menu.

Easy Translator is a rather interesting proposition, but with so many well-established, web-based translator services on offer, a dedicated software solution becomes even less relevant — especially when it asks for payment. Ultimately, it's up to the end user to decide whether the text-to-speech and translation exporting capabilities are worth the money.
