It is worth noting that VoiceTra also serves as a disaster-prevention and disaster-related application, enhancing its versatility and usefulness beyond typical translation applications.

While VoiceTra can be used as a dictionary for word lookup, it is recommended to input complete sentences whenever possible. By interpreting the meaning from the context, VoiceTra produces more accurate and reliable translation results.

The supported languages include Japanese, English, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Korean, Thai, French, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Spanish, Myanmar, Arabic, Italian, Ukrainian, Urdu, Dutch, Khmer, Sinhala, Danish, German, Turkish, Nepali, Hungarian, Hindi, Filipino, Polish, Portuguese (both European and Brazilian), Malay, Mongolian, Lao, and Russian.

It is important to note that an internet connection is required to use VoiceTra, and the speed of translation may vary depending on network connectivity. Additionally, the languages available for text input correspond to those supported by the operating system's keyboard, and proper font installation is necessary for accurate character display.

Users should be aware that certain functions or the application itself might be temporarily disabled during server maintenance. Furthermore, it is the user's responsibility to cover any communication fees incurred while using the application, as international data roaming charges can be costly.
