Online translators and dictionaries with the pronunciation of words: translate from English into Russian, and find out the correct pronunciation

Good day.

If you are studying foreign languages, then no specials. translators and dictionaries are indispensable!

And if earlier for translation it was necessary to install various applications from several disks (and even earlier use thick books ) , now it is possible to successfully translate text and individual expressions (words) using online services. That, you see, is very convenient!

In this article, I have collected several of the most popular translators and dictionaries that you can work with for free (you can also learn the pronunciation of most foreign words in each of them).

I think that such services will be very useful when learning a foreign language, and in general in office work.

So...

Best online translators

Yandex translator

Translator from the famous search engine. Several dozen languages ​​are available (Russian, English, Danish, German, etc.), you can easily and quickly switch from one language to another. Any entered word or sentence can be read / spoken (see red arrow below).

Yandex translator - what does the main page of the service look like

I will also add that the service supports voice typing (voice recognition), on-screen keyboard and other bells and whistles. I will add that the translation of words in Yandex translator is quite convenient: you can immediately find out what a noun, a verb, and an adjective mean (depending on how the word is used).

The limit on the size of the added text is 10,000 characters. In general, you can translate an entire page of a book or article. By the way, the service automatically detects the input language (or the text that you added / copied to the input window).

In general, despite the rather chaotic translation of large sentences, the service is rightfully considered one of the leaders in its niche. Recommend!

Google Translate

An excellent translator from the world famous Google company. The interface is no different from the Yandex product: there are also two windows, one contains the original text, the other contains a translation. There is also automatic recognition of the language of the entered text.

I note that Google Translate knows more languages ​​than its analog from Yandex (although I don't think most people will need something exotic ...). Note that the Google translator allows you to add only 5000 characters for translation (this is about 1 page of text in Word in medium font size).

Google Translate main window

But I would like to note that the quality of translation here is one of the highest among similar services. There is also a loud and pretty good pronunciation of words (the opportunity appears after entering a word / sentence in the first window). It is also possible to enter text by voice or input using a handwritten original.

I also note that when entering 1-2 words, Google acts as a dictionary: it will show how this word is translated, what synonyms it has, what it means in the form of a verb, noun, adverb, etc.

Microsoft Translator

Online translator from Microsoft itself (this alone is conducive to acquaintance!). The service, of course, is still inferior in functionality to the previous ones, but it is worth noting that the service is trending as a translation.

Microsoft Translator - translator on Bing servers

Features:

  1. support for more than 50 languages;
  2. translation of text is possible, the volume of which does not exceed 5000 characters;
  3. there is a possibility of pronouncing the text: both the original and the received translation;
  4. there is no voice text input;
  5. the ability to open the dictionary by clicking on any word;
  6. several meanings of a word from the dictionary are given at once.

Translate.RU

A very good service offering not only a translator, but also a dictionary, grammar and various examples. When you enter a word, the original language will be automatically determined, its translation, phrases where it occurs, synonyms for it will be offered.

Translate.RU - translator and dictionary with grammar

I also note that the entered text can be checked for grammar (which was not offered in previous services). The quality of the translation is quite good (in addition, there are various topics (selected manually) for a better translation: business, computers, family, etc.). By the way, the service is powered by the PROMT engine, which has been one of the leaders in the field of translation for 15 years. So, it makes sense to get to know the service better!

Multitran

This service cannot translate texts, but it perfectly translates individual words and expressions (including quite rare idioms). I note that the translation of a word can be recognized in a variety of variations: depending on the subject of the text, where the word can be found.

Multitran

For the correct pronunciation of a word, a link is given to "Webster" (a third-party dictionary resource with a very high-quality pronunciation of words. Many words are not pronounced in a machine voice, but the pronunciation of a living person is actually recorded!).

In general, the service is highly recommended for those who are looking for translations of words in a wide variety of variations, and for those who want to learn the correct pronunciation!

Lingvo life

Excellent online dictionary from ABBYY. There are 20 languages ​​available on the site, tens of thousands of words and expressions. The translation is of sufficient quality, the service produces several variations, synonyms, phrases, examples of use. I note that the pronunciation of foreign words is very good: clear, loud.

In addition to translation, words can be memorized by adding them to your dictionary (or by creating flashcards). In general, I recommend it to everyone who is studying foreign languages.

Lingvo Life is a great dictionary with correct pronunciation

WordReference.com

Online language dictionaries.

An excellent online dictionary with various foreign languages: English, Spanish, German, Italian, etc.

In addition to translation, the dictionary gives out sentences where a given word is found, shows synonyms (similar words in meaning), and gives recommendations for viewing words similar in spelling. The pronunciation of the service is at a very high level. Basically, also bookmark if you're learning English.

WordReference.com - translation, similar words, synonyms, etc.
