First, we should say that this isn't really a fair fight, because Paraklet and Google Translate aren't built for the same job.
Google Translate is a text and phrase tool posing as a real-timer interpreter. It's fast for looking up a word, translating a menu or at best, catering to a stable conversation, or getting the gist of a foreign webpage. But when have real-life conversations ever been limited to two people or one subject of discussion?
It's not built for live spoken conversation, especially for less-common accents from less-prioritized communities and it was never meant to be.
Paraklet is a real-time speech translation app that runs on your laptop. It listens to what you say and speaks it back in another language as you talk, live, so you can hold a real conversation, preach a sermon, or run a livestream in a language you've never learned.
Google Translate wins for quick text lookups, reading signs, basic conversations and translating documents.
Paraklet wins for live conversations, streaming to international audiences, in-person interpretation, virtual meetings across languages, and anything else that involves your voice in real time.
If your need is text, stick with Google Translate. If your need is speech, live and unscripted, Paraklet is the tool actually built for that job.
