Translations shown in English
“I tried other speech-to-text apps and they worked fine in English, but the moment I needed Spanish they fell apart. With Palabras, I switch between English and Spanish all day and it keeps up perfectly. It's the only tool that understands how bilinguals actually work.”
“Respondo correos y dejo comentarios en documentos con solo hablar. Lo que antes me tomaba una hora escribiendo ahora lo hago en minutos. Palabras me devolvió el tiempo que perdía tecleando.”
I answer emails and leave comments on documents just by speaking. What used to take me an hour of typing I now do in minutes. Palabras gave me back the time I lost typing.
“Je rédige mes articles trois fois plus vite qu'avant. C'est comme avoir un secrétaire personnel qui ne se trompe jamais. Un gain de temps considérable chaque jour.”
I write my articles three times faster than before. It's like having a personal secretary who never makes mistakes. A considerable time saving every day.
“Als Lehrerin wechsle ich ständig zwischen Deutsch und Englisch — im Unterricht und bei Elterngesprächen. Andere Spracherkennung scheitert, sobald ich ein englisches Wort sage. Mit Palabras diktiere ich Unterrichtsmaterial und Berichte, egal in welcher Sprache. Es versteht endlich, wie zweisprachige Menschen wirklich arbeiten.”
As a teacher, I constantly switch between German and English — in class and during parent meetings. Other speech recognition fails the moment I say an English word. With Palabras, I dictate teaching materials and reports, no matter the language. It finally understands how bilingual people actually work.
“Dito notas de trabalho e relatórios de clientes enquanto estou em serviço. O Palabras mantém minha documentação em dia em uma fração do tempo.”
I dictate work notes and client reports while on the job. Palabras keeps my documentation up to date in a fraction of the time.
“Passavo ore a trascrivere appunti di ricerca. Ora li detto a voce e appaiono scritti con precisione. Palabras mi fa risparmiare più di due ore ogni giorno.”
I used to spend hours transcribing research notes. Now I dictate them by voice and they appear written with precision. Palabras saves me more than two hours every day.
