Are there accessible apps that will allow me to speak a sentence or two into the phone and then translate what I have said into Spanish? I would like something that will translate audibly and in writing on the screen.
Recently I’ve used what I believe to be a built in iPhone app. It works well enough for a few words, although I need to be able to translate more at one time. My need now is not to use this as a learning tool. I really need to use the app to translate in real time. I’ll appreciate any help that can be offered. Thank you in advance.

I can also capture native speakers and translate that way too when they are around. Mostly I am studying on my own and reading emails that are now all coming in in Spanish! Hah! It's timely to look all that stuff up. Even if I get a single word - noun, adverb, or verb translated that goes a long way to comprehending what is written.wor I will look for the Microsoft Translator app pronto.

I do not own an ipad, or tablet, or ipod or any other device. I assume that the translators readily available for sale all have screens where you read the result of the translation, might get a proper pronunciation but maybe can't spell out a word letter by letter. I haven't dared to switch my current iPhone the phone into an other language because I am afraid that I won't find my way back to English I did that on YouTube a week or so ago and accidentally got stuck not even on Spanish but on Laotian.That took a huge effort on the part of someone sighted with thehelp of a software engineer to find the combo box with unlabeled names of things to select English once more. I've heard people mention putting languages into the rotar but I think that means that any words written in Spanish or Italian, for example, will be pronounced correctly when they are encountered. Does anyone have any suggestions for a cheap option to use a phone or other device for this purpose? The google translator works great for English to Spanish translations, but Like I said, I'm afraid to switch Siri over to Spanish to English and get stuck there, plus my dictation isn't going to be accurate in Spanish.
