Frequently looked up
- Q1Can I try it before I pay?
- You can download and use it for free. To start translating, add a license. If you are not satisfied within 14 days, you get a full refund.
- Q2How is it different from Google Translate or the Translate menu on Mac?
- Both Google Translate and Mac's Translate menu require you to select or copy text first, then show the answer elsewhere. Tipword translates the word under your pointer right where it is, even in places where text cannot be selected.
- Q3Which languages are included?
- 20 languages translate on your Mac offline using Apple's translation, free on macOS 15 or later. 34 more languages are available using your own Google API key, with Google's first 500,000 characters per month free.
- Q4Does it work offline? Is my text private?
- Yes. The 20 Apple languages work completely offline, translating on your Mac with no internet on macOS 15 or later. With Google key, only the word you point at goes to Google; Tipword never sees your text.
- Q5What happens after a year?
- Tipword keeps working permanently. Updates released after your first year are not included in your license, but the software continues to function.
