Sadly my non-English language skills are not developed enough for me to be a good judge. I think you'll usually be selling to people who don't have the language skills to evaluate quality. Some kind of independent analysis of quality could help.
I agree, and I actually do have people who are native speakers and not interested in the project that I work with. Hopefully with some time it can be something substantial

Any notes on quality? I suspect that a poor translation can confuse a potential customer. For multi-lingual users I think sometimes it's better to show text in the original language than to poorly translate to their preferred language.
Quality has been tested against every other service and matches or outperforms them.
Many of the current users are native speakers, and every day I work with them to get it better accustomed to what they're expecting
I put a live demo on the site though - I encourage you to verify this yourself!

Awesome tool!
I'll be trying it once my product is out!
That's great to hear - lmk if you've got any questions in the meantime!
Any chance you can include Burmese language?
I tried to, but the quality just isn't there. Eventually I'd like to, only if I can get the accuracy down.
All of the above!
Okay! I'm still kinda new here, what exactly are you looking for? You could also reach out on twitter and we could talk more specifically
The idea is great but you will never compete with a solution like Google translate: one simple reason is that Google Translate is highly specialized and optimized. Did you try to compare the processing time?
Running an opensource AI model to perform translation may help and work in some cases but to be honest this has also a lot of limitations. The first being processing time and the second languages support. I am not even considering accuracy.
Thanks for the feedback, you bring some good points to the table.
Did you try the demo on the landing page and notice considerable latency/accuracy slip ups?
Can you give me some feedback about the features necessary for such an app, or my positioned value prop, especially if you've had success running and monetizing channels on Youtube/Tiktok?
Thank you :)
