Does it cope with very long German sentences?
Yes. The whole sentence is translated at once, so a verb sitting at the very end still lands in the right place in the English.
What about compound nouns?
Compounds are translated as the concept they describe rather than split into fragments, which is where word-by-word tools usually fall apart.
Can it understand Austrian or Swiss German?
Standard German from Austria and Switzerland is handled; strong regional dialect is harder, and speaking a little more clearly helps the transcript.
Can I paste a letter from an office or landlord?
Yes — switch to the keyboard and paste the whole thing, including umlauts and ß, then read the English underneath.
Can I reply in English and have it go out in German?
Yes. The conversation runs in both directions, and the German version can be played aloud for the other person.
Is it free?
Yes. The service is free for everyone — no subscription and no quota. Sign in with email, Google or Apple only if you want your history attached to an account instead of this browser.
