You can type text, speak it, or use an on-screen keyboard. This is great if you don't know the originating language it beats clicking through every one of them until the translation works. One of its best features is the ability to take any text you throw at it and accurately determine what language it's in, and then instantly put it into a language you can understand. Just type or speak, and then watch the translation appear off to the right. It also works surprisingly well if you need to speak with someone when neither of you can understand the other language. This translator excels when you want to convert single words or phrases to see how they appear or sound in another language. Google's online translator website translates text you enter into the box, as well as documents and entire web pages. It's been known to make very wrong translations.
