Future Apps proudly presents their latest iSpeak line of applications, designed at taking mobile translators to a new level of capability and quality. Our iSpeak Apps are not merely a simple text translator, but use the highest quality text to speech synthesis available anywhere in order to speak the translated phrase back to you in the target language. The text to speech engine is so powerful, it reproduces speech which is clear, and has a perfect accent in the target language. You will not be able to tell the speech is synthesized at all!

iSpeak - Portuguese translates from English to Portuguese as well as Portuguese to English using Google’s advanced translation service. A high quality English and Portuguese voice are included within the app itself, so text to speech is done quickly with full quality and no compression.

iSpeak was built with the design goals that have made our other Apps so successful and easy to use. Simply enter the text you want to translate, press the translate button, and the press the “Speak it” button to hear your translation. Its that easy! With another press of a button you can easily save as many translations as you would like on your iPhone, or email the translation to yourself or anyone else! iSpeak takes advantage of all the latest features of iOS including cut and paste so you can import articles and documents to translate, multitasking enabling you to listen to a translated phrase while working with other apps, and much more!

Pros and cons of iSpeak Portuguese app for iPhone and iPad

iSpeak Portuguese app good for

Great app if your trying to learn how to speak portugese, i recommended it to all in my portugese class.
This app is simply amazing. I can type whatever I want, as long as I want and it instantly translates it AND can speak it. If only ispeak had a Brazilian portuguese version!!
It is really usefull to have around when your trying to say something. It sounds like a computer when it tries to speak fast but I hope there speaking fixer- uppers when updates come out.
Ive been working with this program for about 2 hours. It works fine. Im traveling to Portugal and this is really going to help me. The best feature is that you can save phrases for future use, things like "Can I see a menu, please?", or "Do you speak English?", stuff that Ill really be needing. Ive already got about 30 phrases saved and ready for when I get to Lisbon. Also, you can vary the volume and the speaking speed. The default speed is a little fast but you can easily slow it down. The voice sounds great! Wow I cant believe this was only $1.99!! Im sold on these and will use the other languages as needed.
The words are realtivly acurate the pronunciation to a few words is a little of but over all its amazing!
Back to 5 stars !!! This update works perfect on IOS 4. Very nice upgrade to interface as well. I have just purchased your newly rolled-out languages too.

Some bad moments

it translates very well but miss pronounced alot of words...like good moring which is a simple word .to bad cause it seemed like a good program
I missed the little asterisk that gave the real description of "no Internet needed" when I was reading about the app. I jumped all over it when I saw the no Internet connection needed and I wrongly assumed that it contained a large database or language engine judging by the size of the app ( easilly my largest iPhone app at almost 1/10 of a gigabyte!) I was pissed at first by the deceptive description, but I guess it is my fault for not reading carefully enough. The translations are no better than the free ones that also require internet connection.
I hate giving poor reviews. I always try to find the good whenever possible. But I downloaded this application because I am flying to Portugal TOMORROW and I need something like this. But guess what. Every time I press "translate", it crashes. Nothing ever actually gets translated. Yes, I ran Scan and freed up memory. I restarted. Deleted and redownloaded the app. But no good. It no worky. I am guessing it does not work with OS 4.0. But there is no way to tell. Anyway, I am in Lisbon in 24 hours. So its wasted dollars for me. Beware folks. Wait for an upgrade or explanation.
As others have noted, it no longer works since upgrading to iOS 4. It will crash upon hitting the translate button.
Why would you need an Internet connection for a translation software? Especially while abroad? Totally useless waste of money!!!! Id give less than one star if possible.
I am currently trying to learn portuguese and so i saw this app and i am like, awesome! an app that defines words...AND SAYS THEM! i am on my way to my lesson and i cant even use the app when i was there. do not get this app if you do not have constant wifi
