Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Papago (translator) comes in handy when needed.
  • Google translate and papago understand me pretty well, I'd say I'd get words recognized there more often than not.
  • Tried it on Papago and it worked for me
  • Both work, Papago is a little more natural (as it should be, since it's the translator designed in Korea).
  • I've heard https://papago.naver.com is better (the downloadable app has a microphone function) so I need to try that soon.

Cons

  • In Papago I kinda feel some difference BUT if you switch places or put many of these words in a row in random order you'll hear that the voice synthesiser switches between the 2 versions independently from the actual word that is being r...
  • I tried google translate and Papago but honestly it just doesn't help at all because i feel like it just translated uninteligible stuff always
  • papgo's suggestions don't seem to match the meaning I'm looking for.
  • Papago tries to guess what you mean from the input, even when it's wrong. That's why the output looked the same.
  • In papago the romanization of 축약 is chungnyak but the pronunciation is chugyak. ... Papago is giving you the wrong romanization in this case. It should be chugyak.

In Papago I kinda feel some difference BUT if you switch places or put many of these words in a row in random order you'll hear that the voice synthesiser switches between the 2 versions independently from the actual word that is being read.

Papago was developed by Koreans so its much better than Google Translate (which is better between European languages)

Mirinae and Papago have been very reliable for me so far.
