Disappointing
I downloaded this app before traveling to Thailand. I even downloaded the dictionary to have access offline. This app was not helpful for several reasons:
- The camera option did not work for the Thai language (although it worked with Chinese on my layover, still pretty cumbersome). Given the popularity of Thailand as a travel destination I do not know why this function would not be operational for Thai.
- It could not translate common Thai words with English characters. So I could not type in any words to find their meaning. Which meant...
- The only way this app offered any assistance is if I DREW the Thai characters, which I do not know how to do.
- The only other option I can think of is to change the keypad to Thai characters, but since I am unfamiliar with the nuances of the characters this would still render this app useless for my purposes.
The irony is that I even saw this app recommended in a Thai magazine!
Update your languages to include Thai!
