Perebot: Translate Text and Photos

Got a message in a language you cannot read and no wish to open a dictionary? Perebot solves it inside Telegram: forward the text or a photo, and a second later you have a translation. 🌍

The bot has lived in the messenger for years and gathered tens of thousands of users. Its description lists several roles at once: translator, photo helper, English tutor and AI assistant.

Forward it and understand it

The main scenario is simple. Send the bot a phrase or a forwarded message and it translates it. Directories say it translates from English into Russian and from any language into English.

The target language changes in /settings. Use it if you usually translate into something else.

A photo instead of typing

The /photo command switches on picture work. The bot can translate text on a snapshot: packaging, a sign, a textbook page, a screenshot.

Its description also mentions solving tasks from a photo and generating images. For schoolwork it can help, but it does not replace understanding the topic, so check answers against your textbook.

Voice notes, video circles and read-aloud

The /voice command transcribes voice messages and video circles. That is handy when you cannot listen, for example in a lecture or on a bus without headphones.

The bot can also read messages aloud, which helps you check the pronunciation of an unfamiliar word.

A word list that sticks

A good translation is worth twice as much when the word stays in your head. The bot ships with study tools for that.

• /words stores your favorite words and phrases.
• /learn lets you practice your own words.
• /xlearn turns important words into a quiz.
• /ilearn shows the same words as a list.

When you save a phrase with the star button, it lands in your personal vocabulary. Reviewing it for a few minutes each day works best.

A translator inside a group chat

The /groups command explains how to connect the bot to a group. When members speak different languages, the bot helps them understand each other.

Check the bot's permissions in the group and tell members that their messages are processed automatically.

AI assistant, extras and premium

The bot's description mentions an AI assistant built on neural networks. You can ask it questions or request an explanation of something unclear.

/crypto shows cryptocurrency rates and /stat shows statistics. /bots tells you about other projects from the same team.

You can start without registration. The /premium command enables an extended mode without limits. Check terms and price inside the bot, since they can change.

If you only need a short translation a couple of times a week, the basic mode may be enough.

What to keep in mind with translations

1. Double-check important texts. Machine translation does not replace a professional for contracts, medical papers or legal documents.
2. Do not send personal data. Passports and bank cards do not belong in services like this.
3. Verify photo solutions against your textbook, because a neural network can make mistakes.
4. Stay honest. A ready-made homework answer will not teach you the subject.
