Naver Papago

Overview

Naver Papago is an AI translation tool that uses deep neural networks to break down language barriers. It supports more than 15 languages across text, voice, image, and real-time conversation translation. Built on Naver's in-house machine translation engine, Papago delivers accurate and fluent results, and it is especially adept at translating between Asian languages.

The app comes loaded with a variety of handy features. Photo translation lets you point your camera at text — signs, menus, labels — and instantly translates the words on your screen. Conversation mode allows two people to communicate face-to-face in their own languages, with automatic speech recognition and translation. Web page translation makes it easy to browse foreign websites directly within the app, so you can read international news or articles without switching apps. In addition, Papago offers a vocabulary notebook and pronunciation audio to help you review and practice what you learn.

Whether you are traveling abroad, attending a business meeting, or simply learning a new language, Papago is your on-the-go interpreter. It turns cross-language communication into a smooth, efficient experience — no matter where your journey takes you.
