Chapter 34: Eye-catching data
Pan Ce looked at the update size, only 5.17MB, he clicked update without hesitation, and checked the update content at the same time.
Instant online mutual translation 2.0 new version features:
1. Improve software stability.
1. Fix known bugs.
3. Add a new function of instant voice translation text.
Pan Ce was stunned when he saw the third content. Before the software was installed, he immediately turned on the computer and entered the software management. Sure enough, there was an update reminder for the real-time online translation of the PC version. Pan Ce did not hesitate, and immediately renew!
"Don't let my brother down! I can't learn English in my life, and I don't expect to learn it anymore!" Pan Ce kept talking, because he was really tortured by the built-in translation function on YouTube It was miserable enough, he vaguely remembered once translating such a subtitle: Basic Principles Office Level!
It's ridiculous.
In anticipation, the new version was finally updated. Pan Ce hung up the proxy and entered YouTube's domain name.
"Right! How do you use it?" After opening the video site, Pan Ce immediately opened the instant online translation. The interface is as simple as ever, only displaying personal ID information, renewal expiration time, recharge renewal and XlouS's official website Few messages, without any advertising section. After the new version is launched, the top of the UI interface is divided into two parts, the left side shows the text translation, and the right side shows a new voice translation option.
Pan Ce moved the mouse to the upper right corner and clicked to enter. The interface is still very simple. The two big characters "Start" in the middle are very eye-catching, but they are gray. When Pan Ce clicks, there is no response. Taking a closer look, it turns out that this requires additional payment. Pan Ce did not hesitate to click on the recharge to enter the recharge interface. There are also four packages to choose from. He clicked the monthly payment to recharge. The cost of voice translation is 5 yuan cheaper than text translation. That is 10 yuan a month, a total of 25 yuan a month, with his ability or no financial pressure.
Fortunately, however, his account can be shared between different versions such as PC and iOS, which means that as long as you register and pay, you can enjoy all versions.
After successful payment, return to the initial interface, the gray "start" turns green, Pan Ce knows that it can be used, and he immediately clicks start. The UI interface is immediately minimized and hidden in the background. Instead, a translucent rectangular interface like a glass block pops up, which can be moved and stretched at will. Pan Ce immediately stretched the interface and moved it to the bottom of the screen, at the top edge of the interface. There is a list of options, with "Please select text to translate" the most prominent. Pan Ce moved the mouse to this position and was surprised when he saw more than 100 options. He knew that the sorting was in alphabetical order, and the Chinese should be at the bottom. Sure enough, he found the Chinese option at the end, and finally clicked OK. , after two seconds, the glass-like interface is completely transparent. As long as you move the mouse to only this area, it will be automatically displayed again, which is very user-friendly.
Pan Ce also saw that there are font replacement options, font color options, etc., but he is not in the mood to explore other things. Now what he wants most is to know whether this translation is reliable. If it is the same as the translation that comes with the website The system is the same, he promises to go to the official website of XlouS company to give it a shot.
"Is it okay?" Pan Ce said to himself. When the mouse moved away from the interface, the glass-shaped interface disappeared immediately, and Pan Ce immediately opened a variety show on the video website.
"Fuck! It also has Chinese and English subtitles, yes, yes!" Pan Ce was as pleasantly surprised as he discovered a new world, "Translation in one second, yes yes, different people will prefix a horizontal bar to distinguish them, yes Exactly!"
"Can the music be translated?" Pan Ce suddenly lit up, thinking that he could do it, and immediately entered the name of a song "fall-out-boy--immortals."
"Artifact, there's wood! It's okay, it's okay!" Pan Ce couldn't help shouting, "Brother can finally watch whatever you want on YouTube, Ness!"
There are too many people like Panzer all over the world, and for groups like video users, instant voice online translation is simply a must-have artifact.
The launch of instant online voice translation has generally received widespread acclaim. There are also many users who pointed out the shortcomings of the voice translation interface in the official forum community. One of them is called "Nenns" who pointed out: when the video is enlarged or reduced, the voice subtitle interface will still not change, it feels a bit rigid, if It would be perfect to be smarter such as being able to automatically capture video scale changes as they change. This message quickly got an official reply: Thank you very much for the valuable suggestion from community member 'Nenns', our technical team has taken this into consideration, and we will update and improve it in the next patch as soon as possible to make instant voice more user-friendly.
Thanks to the relationship with the strategic partner Facebook, the number of users has exploded in the nearly half a year since the launch of instant online translation. One week after the launch of instant voice translation by XlouS, the official website announced a new message: instant online translation The number of registered users of mutual translation has officially exceeded 750 million users, and the number of paying users is also as high as 585 million, which is about to exceed 600 million.
After this news was announced, everyone looked at this set of data and felt incredible, but this is the truth. This news released by XlouS nakedly slapped some bad people in the face.
The number of people who have reached such a scale in the past six months is beyond description. But this is also reasonable. Everything has to benefit from Facebook's full promotion on major platforms, and viral promotion and sharing among users. It is not surprising that such a number can be reached. The most important thing is that this product itself is enough. There are no competitors on the market at all. Users who know and download this application can basically ignore those who uninstall it. Without others, this application is too comprehensive and powerful. As long as you are an Internet user, there will always be One place will use it. For developed countries in Europe and the United States, this application is also very affordable. It is about 2 US dollars a month without any consumption pressure.
Obviously, after the release of this set of data, many people were immediately attracted to it. XlouS can achieve sky-high revenue every month with this product alone, which is faster than a money printing machine. What makes the hot-eyed people helpless is that this company has risen so fast that it failed to get a share in the initial growth, and now it has matured and even become a giant.
Some investors can't help but feel a lot of resentment towards Xiao Zha. If Facebook hadn't stepped in and spent $12 billion to buy it out, the company wouldn't have grown at a rocket-like speed. Now he is begging for dollars. , because Xiao Zha has given him enough dollars to grow into a giant comfortably, and this emerging giant is entirely pushed up by Facebook.
Nevertheless, Facebook has also made huge profits, with a gratifying curvature of new user growth, a scale of 1.5 billion daily active users, more advertising revenue, and a continuous rise in stock prices. Its dominance has been unshakable. But some people think that Facebook can still expand its interests and can get more benefits from XlouS, at least it should take some shares! Although Facebook has already made huge profits, it has made XlouS cheap no matter how you look at it. Many people cannot understand this at all. However, it is precisely because these people cannot understand that they cannot reach the height of Zuckerberg. People can only sigh secretly and don't treat me. As a party, Xiao Zha will not care what other people think and has no obligation to explain.
After XlouS released this latest set of data, no one dared to criticize the company anymore. With nearly 600 million paying users and an average annual revenue of over 100 billion RMB, who would dare to question it? Even if Ren Hong builds five more buildings for the company, no one will say such words again. They have a money-making machine that is faster than a money printing machine. It's that simple and rude!
(To be continued...)
(Ps: "Technology Giant" should be regarded as the beginning of the first product launch before it really enters the topic! That is to say, it is only the beginning when Apple has just started, and the front can only be "pre/play", Jane In other words, driving fast, risky but exciting...hehe~)
