| You're paying a lot of money for
your trip. Why waste hours due to unnecessary communication problems?
And what if a misunderstanding gets you arrested, ripped off, or lost?
Communication is critical to making the most of your
trip. Like it or not, finding an interpreter isn't always convenient or
practical. So, why not bring your own interpreter with you? An
electronic one?
Now you can avoid the kinds of misunderstandings that
can spoil your trip. Now you can be free to find your own way around,
ask people questions that don't get a blank stare or futile gestures,
and even understand the answer.
Practical and cost-effective, these translation devices
will help you greatly facilitate
communication and reduce misunderstandings.
So, what are these units like? At right,
you can see images of these devices. You can click on each one
for more information.
Here's a quick explanation of each one:
- The
SpeechGuard TL-2Jp provides a
comprehensive two-way dictionary and a new feature: an easy
to-use sentence builder. Select a phrase, and substitute
words. For example, change "Where is the hotel?" to "Where
is the restaurant?" This unit has over 450,000 words, 8,000
phrases, Japanese voice, English voice, and voice input.
This unit has Japanese voice.
- The EJ-400T is a pocket-sized
electronic dictionary that translate Japanese words. It
has English voice and Japanese voice. The
EJ400T has a vocabulary of 450,000 words, plus it has a
phrasebook and other useful resources. This unit has
Japanese voice.
- The Ectaco
English - Japanese Audio PhraseBook B-3 instantly translates
14,000 travel-oriented phrases (organized by activity) and
speaks the translation aloud. Featuring natural
pronunciation as recorded by native speakers, it is easily
understood by your listeners. And its powerful search
functions allow you to quickly find what you need, when you
need it. This unit has Japanese voice.
- The Super-Pen Voice translator pen
scans text, and converts it to a voice output. A limitation
you might not like is it scans English and converts that to
Japanese--but not the other way around. This is very useful if
you have Japanese speakers trying to make sense of your
English text. You can't use it to read Japanese text, though.
