I tried other speech-to-text apps and they worked fine in English, but the moment I needed Spanish they fell apart. With Palabras, I switch between English and Spanish all day and it keeps up perfectly. It's the only tool that understands how bilinguals actually work.

Cambio constantemente entre español e inglés en clase y en las reuniones con padres. Otras aplicaciones fallan en cuanto digo una palabra en otro idioma. Palabras me entiende tanto si hablo un solo idioma como si mezclo los dos. Es la única herramienta de voz que entiende a la gente bilingüe.
Translated with Palabras:

I constantly switch between Spanish and English in class and parent meetings. Other apps stumble the moment I say a word in another language. Palabras understands me whether I'm speaking one language or mixing both. It's the only speech tool that actually gets bilingual people.
