Nikolai Dukhonchenko (ID: 00000077ee217125) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/31/2022 Designed for corporate customers of smartcat, not for regular people. Works nice as I can see

Werner Aylward (ID: 000000d8b74612d7) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/30/2021 Scam. First want your personel information and then tells you you can not use it

Igor Afanasyev (ID: 00000082bc521a10) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/27/2021 Better than Google Translate as it connects to Smartcat and uses quality reviewed translations before resorting to machine translation.
