Just Translate First Steps

Dear User

This file contains important information about this program. Please read this information very carefully before starting work.

Notes on Installation

Before you can use the spell checker, the speech synthesis or the speech recognition in a foreign language, you must install the needed language pack for Windows 8.1 or Windows 10.

To install an additional language pack:

  1. Use the Windows key + I keyboard shortcut to open the Settings app.
  2. Click Time & language.
  3. Click Region & language.
  4. Under Languages, click Add a language.
  5. Click the language you want to add, and select the specific variation if applicable.

Translate text

Just Translate is your ideal editor to instantly translate and understand foreign language text by using the web-based Google translation engine. To translate your text you need an internet connection.

To translate text:

  1. Choose a source language.
  2. Enter your text.
  3. Choose a target language.
  4. Click on the "Translate" button.

Spell checking

Just Translate includes a spell checking feature. The spell checker checks each word as it is typed and displays a wavy red line under any misspelled words. You can then click on the highlighted misspelled word for more options. Once the word is corrected, the line disappears.

If you add a word to the dictionary, it will no longer be highlighted as a misspelled word. If you mistakenly add a word to the dictionary, then you can remove the word from the dictionary to have it highlighted as a misspelled word again.

To correct a misspelled word:

  1. Select the misspelled word.
  2. Activate the contextual menu by pressing the right mouse button or - if you own an single button mouse - press the control key and then the mouse button.
  3. Pick a suggestion from the menu.

Dictating Text

When you speak into the microphone, Windows Speech Recognition converts your spoken words into text that appears in the editor.

To dictate text
  1. Ensure that your device has a microphone or the equivalent.
  2. Open Speech Recognition by clicking the microphone symbol
  3. Say the text that you want dictate.
