A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Good to know
before you begin.

See our privacy policy for data handling and our terms for conditions of use.

What can I use offline?

Built-in Chinese–English phrase practice works offline. Text, voice translation and photo translation require internet. Whether speech recognition runs on-device also depends on the system and language support.

Does phrase practice offer open-ended chat or scoring?

Current practice compares text against fixed scenarios and examples. It does not provide open-ended AI chat, grammar scoring or pronunciation scoring.

Do I need an account?

The current version requires no account and has no developer-operated cloud history sync. Text translation history stays on the device; system backups depend on your settings.

Can I rely on translations for important decisions?

Translations may contain errors, omissions or context mistakes. Have a qualified professional verify medical, legal, financial or other consequential content against the original.

How can I get help?
