Next Time You Go On Vacation
Take a talking Phrasebook!
Have
you ever flown to a foreign country on vacation but was annoyed by the
number of times you had to consult a dictionary or a local? Have you
grown tired of pantomiming your questions?
These days are coming to an end, as a new smart phone application, 'Phrasebook',
allows you to use your phone as an interpeter, having it 'speak' what
you need in a clear, easy to understand voice, in 25 different languages
and with over 1100 phrases available in each one.
Baba-mail.com has gone to check this app and we have come back very happy
we did. This app, available at the App Store (Iphone) and Google Play
(android phones). This free application seems to constitute a new level
of tourist apps, designed to make trips easier by easing communication.
Installation of the various langauges
seems easy, and these include: English, Russian, French, Romanian,
Chinese, Japanese, German, Spanish, Turkish, Portoguese, Dutch, Arabic,
Italian, Greek, Swedish, Danish and many more.
The phrases are grouped by
categories, such as: Hotel, Transport, Shopping, Directions, Hospital,
Restaurant etc. The application also offers a search option, that allows
you to instantly search for the required phrase or word you'd like to
say.
One refreshing thing we found is that
Phrasebook doesn't require an active internet connection in order to
work, as the language is downloaded straight to your phone.
Of course we wouldn't tell you about something and then decline to tell you how to use it, right?
