DeepL Pro Reviews

“Great for translation but lacks multi-language

Pros

It's a decent tool for translation as it is fast, context-aware and consistently reliable. What stands out most is how well it picks up on context which makes the translations feel more natural and accurate. Definitely a dependable option when you need quality results quickly.

Cons

It still does not support many languages and some areas are not being translated correctly. It definitely needs some improvement.

“Accurate and human-sounding

Pros

This is probably the most accurate and human-sounding machine translation out there. it has really raised the bar with its customization options and document translation. I can just use it without worrying about accuracy.

Cons

interface could use a bit of work. Honestly other than fewer restrictions on translation, there are not many major benefits to upgrading to the pro version. The cost for personal use feels a bit high but it's not a big deal for work purposes.

“good translations but mobile app is problem

Pros

What I love most about it.. is how accurate its translations are. It works great for translating between English and Spanish, Spanish and French and even vice versa. It's quick, has lots of alternative phrase options and the new Deep Write feature is awesome.

Cons

Copying and pasting into the mobile app is such a headache. Plus the system often becomes idle because there are too many users.

“Useful rephrasing but lacks natural voice

Pros

i really like how I can rephrase sentences in different tones. I can toggle between the before and after translations to see exactly what changed which is super useful to put into practice.

Cons

The text-to-speech feature is off. It sounds robotic and I really need a more natural voice since I am learning French. Also they are missing Catalan which is disappointing.

“nice creativity but memory feature remains broken

Pros

The AI function, speed and creativity are fantastic. I love being able to click on words in the translation and choose different options on the spot.

Cons

memory feature doesn't work and the customer service or IT department has not been able to fix it for months. It's still faulty.

“Powerful spelling tool

Pros

it is the most powerful translation tool I've found when it comes to spelling. The Pro version also gives me more characters to work with which is really important for me.

Cons

I can't complain about anything. I am really satisfied with all the features that are available.

“Supports many languages

Pros

the library of languages it supports is impressive. Its super useful for everyday use. I mainly use it for French, Swedish, English and German. Plus, I really like how fast the translations are.

Cons

I found an issue when I keep the navigator open. Sometimes I need to close or completely refresh it to access the website again.

“works well with WordPress

Pros

What I appreciate about this translator is that it integrates perfectly with WordPress. It allows me to translate text while keeping HTML tags intact which makes working with the website's code much easier.

Cons

only issue I've had with it Pro is with the new versions. Sometimes the app stops responding because it overloads the CPU.

“perfect for multilingual documents

Pros

you can upload different types of documents and the great thing is, it gives you the exact same document back but in a different language. this feature makes it so much easier to handle multilingual documents.

Cons

the errors in the original file are not always tracked properly.

“Unlimited free features

Pros

I love that the free features are unlimited and we can upload up to 100 documents per month. Plus, the memory translation feature is great too.

Cons

I don't really have anything to dislike but I'd say the limited language options are a downside. It supports fewer languages compared to something like Google Translate.

“context-based translation can be tricky

Pros

The voices are fantastic...clear enunciation and full of energy. This is especially helpful for me since I use a cochlear implant and connect it to Bluetooth through the speech processor.

Cons

The context-based translation makes it hard to match French words with their English equivalents. I need a literal translation first to understand how a French person would say it and then I can get the context translation.

“app full of issues

Pros

i appreciate being able to translate on the go with just a simple keyboard shortcut. Its such a convenient feature especially when I am multitasking or in a rush.

Cons

everything else is frustrating. there are bugs everywhere and every update seems to break the app. there's little to no support.

“Best accuracy with formatting issues with files

Pros

its definitely the best translator out there. I've tried a few others but none have matched the accuracy and ease of use that this one provides.

Cons

when translating from a file (like a PDF), I've found that the formatting of the translation is a bit off.

“server downtime is frustrating

Pros

As a freelance translator it Pro is hands down the best machine translation tool. The free version is awesome and it's so easy to use. I especially love the alternatives feature...it always gives me great word options that make fine-tuning translations super easy.

Cons

biggest downside of it is that the website or server goes down more often than I'd like which is frustrating. It also gets a little buggy now and then. As someone who relies on it daily for hours this can be pretty annoying especially since I am paying for the Pro version.

“fluent translations with great style

Pros

this is the translator that best supports language fluency and really gets the context. The ability to edit individual words in the resulting text is a must-have feature. The writing style option is also great.

Cons

Sometimes individual words are not as precise as I'd like them to be.

“Supports only major languages

Pros

It covers the major languages spoken in Europe, plus Japanese and simplified Chinese. It saves so much time especially with the document translation feature. It also integrates easily with Microsoft Office.

Cons

only downside is that its limited to 30 languages.

“Accurate and fast

Pros

The accuracy of the translations and the speed of execution make using this product a real joy every day. I highly recommend it. And the best part? You can even use it for free.

Cons

No major downsides except that you have to log in occasionally. But I'm only mentioning this because it's something to note..especially when a company offers such affordable services, they can afford to check on the user's activity now and then.

“adjusts tone well but struggles with technical language

Pros

its great how it differentiates between levels of English and takes regional language differences into account. whether its formal or casual language, it adjusts the tone to fit the context.

Cons

It can still be lacking when it comes to technical terms for specific industries.

“easy to use but inconsistent

Pros

it is super easy to use for both text and document translations. Plus it has a great (though paid) API.

Cons

It's sometimes inconsistent especially within the same text or file.

“Accurate translations with high cost

Pros

translation accuracy is always on point, delivering reliable and nuanced translations. I also love that it keeps the layout and formatting intact across different document types so the output always looks professional.

Cons

Cost can be an issue if you need to do a lot of translations...it can get expensive.

“Privacy-focused but slow with translations

Pros

The texts I translate are not stored anywhere which guarantees my privacy. Plus, there's no word limit for translations!

Cons

Its slow with translations, meaning it translates one line at a time and you can only translate selected areas.

“best for vocabulary list

Pros

I save translations by bookmarking words and phrases to remember. It lets me create my own vocabulary lists in all languages which is super helpful.

Cons

I've been asked to log into my account at it several times which can be annoying.

“overall good tool

Pros

What I really like about it is how accurate the translations are compared to other software. It allows me to translate quickly and faithfully between languages even detecting the language automatically, even if it was not previously entered.

Cons

Sometimes there are issues with importing certain file formats but they are usually solvable.

“Regularly meets my needs

Pros

i use it very regularly whenever I need translations and it always meets my needs perfectly.

Cons

I have not tested all the languages so I can't say for sure if it's good across the board.

“Simple and effective tool

Pros

my go to tool for every day and honestly to sum it up in two words: simple and effective! Its one of those tools that just works easily without any issue.

Cons

Depending on the language I sometimes have doubts about the reliability of the translation.

“nice tool but needs optimization

Pros

Once you have used it... it's hard to go back to anything else. By far the best translation tool I've tested so far.

Cons

When the sentences are complex I find myself going back and forth between languages several times to get a result that's as close as possible to what I want. A bit more optimization from the start would be nice.

“Fantastic quality and speed

Pros

The quality, speed and ability to translate documents like .doc and .pdf files is fantastic.

Cons

In my opinion, the price is high. Maybe its because I am not a professional translator and don't use it as much in my work but paying more than ChatGPT for a translation app seems too much for me.

“Most useful for work

Pros

It's hands down the most useful tool for my daily work. I can choose synonyms and different ways of expressing words, phrases or concepts. It's packed with tons of phrases especially in the economic and legal fields.

Cons

One feature I dislike that was added recently is that when you hover over a word, it turns blue which can be bothersome. Also, it lacks phrases, expressions and words in the medical field. The Greek language does not have a glossary yet either, hope they add that soon! It would also be helpful if it could remember how I translate certain words and use those in future translations.

“More accurate than most

Pros

The translations are way more accurate than most other translation apps, including Google Translate.

Cons

even with AI it's tough to get the right context for some topics in different languages. This can sometimes lead to misunderstandings.

“good for communication but limited on free version

Pros

As a communications officer my job is to communicate with all kinds of customers, no matter where they are from. Thanks to it, I can translate into their language and talk to them confidently. What's great is that I can translate whole files and documents without messing up the formatting or characters. I really recommend this software for all your translation needs.

Cons

As far as I am concerned this software has no issues..unless you are using the free version which limits the number of words and also adds a watermark at the top of the pages.

“no issues on free trial

Pros

quality of translations, the ease of translating documents or text modules and the ability to transfer translations into other documents are fantastic.

Cons

I have not experienced anything negative so far since I am still on the free trial.

“perfect for text improvement

Pros

translations are top-notch. I can even improve a text by clicking on a word and picking a better option.

Cons

you can not activate a paid account on multiple devices. Once you activate it on one device, you get locked out on the others.

“Fixes grammar well

Pros

this tool really helps me fix my grammar mistakes without losing the meaning of what I'm trying to say. It's also super helpful for translating files...right now, it's helping me write these lines!

Cons

Occasionally there are some word errors but you can easily correct them.

“Smooth and accurate solution

Pros

I really appreciate the quality of the translations. they are always smooth and accurate. Compared to other translation services, it Pro gives more consistent results and more natural sentence translations.

Cons

Not exactly cheap but if you need a translation tool regularly for work, I think it's money well spent.

“fast and efficient... no complaints here

Pros

very easy to use and the translations are really accurate. I dont have to spend time tweaking anything...what I get is usually spot on.

Cons

no complaints here. It's just the best app I have ever used.

“easy to use but not affordable for students

Pros

it lets you translate both text and files in 31 languages. It's way better than other tools because the translations feel more natural.

Cons

prices are not very affordable for students who need this kind of tool to support their work.

“Best quality and ease of use

Pros

I appreciate that there are different translation options to choose from. It helps me discover new vocabulary that fits best.

Cons

the downside is when you have large texts to translate, you only get one suggestion and sometimes other terms might fit better depending on the context.

“fast and efficient tool

Pros

Its very friendly to use and translates texts quickly and efficiently. I love how fast it works whether I am translating short phrases or longer paragraphs, it gets the job done in no time.

Cons

simply the best translation tool out there and I really don't have anything to complain about.

“Great quality and ease of use with file size limit

Pros

The translation quality is great and the ease of use is awesome. You can just drag and drop PDFs, Word docs and PPTs and get a good translation in no time. The shortcuts for translating specific words quickly and the screen capture translation function are brilliant. Plus, being able to choose between formal and informal language styles and setting up a glossary for specific industry terms or local expressions really helps.

Cons

It would be nice if you could upload PPTs and PDFs larger than 5GB. Some PPTs are huge with a lot of media so this limit feels too small.

“amazing for all types and tones

Pros

it is amazing. It's great for translating texts of all types and tones. I love how it picks the right vocabulary for the tone and makes the translated text flow well. For professional or technical texts, I'd recommend doing a few extra checks but for simpler texts, it's pretty much perfect.

Cons

you can't suggest a new translation for a term and save it which would be really convenient.
