Yandex Translate vs Perebot

For text you paste or type, Yandex Translate (@YTranslateBot) is the better tool: Yandex's official bot, free, detects the source language itself, covers dozens of languages and works inline in any chat and in groups, with 37 thousand monthly users. Its one hard limit is on the card: text only, no voice, no photos. That gap is where Perebot (@perebot) lives: also free, 58 thousand users a month, it covers roughly twenty languages, reads text off a photo and turns new words into vocabulary quizzes, though its general-purpose engine is weaker on idioms and technical text. Choose Perebot when you are translating a menu, a sign or a photographed page, or learning words rather than decoding them.
