Compare to other mobile translator, naver-papago is more accurate when translating in Korean. Many reviews have shown that majority of the people using this application were either learning Korean, living or visiting Korea. It is not safe to depend too much on translator since translated word might be incorrect. Since Papago is free to use with internet connection, there is no harm to try.
​
By looking at the review from people who have already used naver-papage were satisfied with their accuracy in translation. Since Papago is new from July 2017, there is great possibilities for more improvement.
