If you\u2019d like to use the real time video translation, it\u2019s good to know that it supports 30 languages and the speech-to-speech translation is available for 32 languages.<br \/>\nTranslate signs, menus and other written content using your phone\u2019s camera. Offline support for some languages, plus excellent integration with the Android operating system for text message and website translation.<br \/>\nDid you know that as answer to Google Translate, recent updates of Microsoft Translator have made it into a worthy competitor with unique strengths of its own?<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4621\" src=\"\/\/www.1stopasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Google-Translate-icon-300x300.png\" alt=\"Google-Translate-icon\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Travis the Translator<\/h2>\n<p>The latest, greatest device is called Travis the Translator.\u00a0 It\u2019s a small device that you can hold on your hand.

The magic happens immediately &#8212; it translates speech in real-time. \u00a0The main languages that iLi LOVES are Spanish, Mandarin, and Japanese. In the future French, Thai, Korean, Italian and Arabic may be developed.<br \/>\nThe best thing about iLi is that it doesn\u2019t require wi-fi. The concept is pretty cool, it\u2019s a translation device for travelers. However, iLi\u2019s translation capabilities are limited to situations in which tourists could need help.<br \/>\nFor example, here is one situation &#8212; you are in a restaurant and no one understands what you\u2019d like to order &#8212; here comes iLi. You are in a shopping center and you need to explain your needs to the sales assistant, here comes iLi.<br \/>\nTo sum up, it is specialized in the sectors related to tourism and entertainment, and its translation is all one-way.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4622\" src=\"\/\/www.1stopasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/ili-traducteur-002-503x283-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"ili-traducteur-002-503x283\" width=\"721\" height=\"406\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>iTranslate is a voice translation application<\/h2>\n<p>How does it work?

Those apps can\u2019t have hundred percent accuracy, you can\u2019t trust them for serious matters such as legal or business deals.<br \/>\nUse those translation apps and gadgets if you want to travel, have some fun and go out to eat at a restaurant, if you travel for cultural exchange, or when you go on adventure.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1556797554776{padding-top: 200px !important;padding-bottom: 80px !important;background-image: url(http:\/\/173.212.196.205\/1stopasia_new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Blog.jpg?id=7370) !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Powerful Translation Apps and Devices for Travelers&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; el_class=&#8221;uppercase&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1541668699420{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;background-color: #bf2026 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1541405850168{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221; &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[39],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/173.212.196.205\/1stopasia_new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4618"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/173.212.196.205\/1stopasia_new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/173.212.196.205\/1stopasia_new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/173.212.196.205\/1stopasia_new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/173.212.196.205\/1stopasia_new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4618"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/173.212.196.205\/1stopasia_new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4618\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7881,"href":"http:\/\/173.212.196.205\/1stopasia_new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4618\/revisions\/7881"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/173.212.196.205\/1stopasia_new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/173.212.196.205\/1stopasia_new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4618"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/173.212.196.205\/1stopasia_new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
