ECTACO Voice Translator English -> Spanish / French / German 1.21.90 Publisher's description

The Pocket Voice Translator is a collection of most common used phrases for a tourist. The actual version includes translations from English into German, Spanish and French. The idea of developing such a tool for Pocket PCs is very useful for any tourist that travels a lot. More than that, the application comes with a voice record feature. Based on the latest technology, the application can recognize the phrases from its data bank, which are pronounced by the user and translates them in the selected language. All the phrases are organized in topics. The user must choose the correspondent topic and use the phrases which appear. The application will translate the phrases and through a voice filter, it will pronounce those phrases.

Pluses: Portability.

Drawbacks / flaws: The user will have some problems in calibrating the voice recording option. Most of the time you have to repeat the same phrase just to get a proper translation.

In conclusion: The speech recognition technology is in its first stages of development, so don't think that you can address to your Pocket PC as you can address to a person.
