Tips for Best Results
- Speak naturally — don't try to translate in your head first. Think in your language, speak in your language.
- Complete sentences work best — fragments and single words may lack context for accurate translation.
- Code-switching is fine — if you mix languages (e.g., English with some Chinese), VoxInk handles it.
- Check tone — translation preserves meaning but tone can shift subtly. Skim the output for important messages.
