@promt Personal Translator (English-Spanish) 8

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

Why pore over the mini print in language dictionaries when software can help save your eyes--and your precious time? This application translates text from Spanish to English. Though the quality of the translations isn't perfect, it is sufficient. During testing, we were able to translate a 50-page document in about five minutes. To improve the quality of translations, you can add additional dictionaries or templates on specific topics, such as science or math terminology. The interface is convenient; simply cut and paste text into the main program window, or translate from the Clipboard or from any HTML, PDF, DOC, or RTF file. @promt Express Translator also can work in tandem with plug-ins such as FineReader to translate documents. Overall, this is a useful translator that, for its reasonable price, may be a helpful tool for academics and professionals alike.
