sanuk711 5,828 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 I was watching this TV program "90 day Fiancé"...yer I know , I hate to admit to watching something like that. I watched an episode about an American girl gets married , has a kid to a S Korean guy, they live in Korea, she doesn't speak any Korean & his English is woeful. but they both have these hand held language translators, not like the usual Iphone type where you can only do a limited amount. but 3-4 long sentences at a time--they were having an argument about him having his bank account in his parents name ---he was trying to explain this is not unusual in Korea. I was very impressed with how quickly the translator worked in a clear tone . They were shouting and arguing and the machine's (had one each) never missed a beat, and, I could only tell from the English side but it never came like a Google type translation. I looked on Lazada and they can go for up to 20K baht, but I don't know what I am looking at. I have to do some extension work, and I am in general interested in buying one, if their as good as that. Has any had experience with them or can recommend one brand above the others. I do not want to put an App on a phone etc after seeing how good these were. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post scorecard 20,760 Posted September 27 Popular Post Share Posted September 27 I came across a young Bkk taxi driver a while back who had set up google translate (both written and voice) on an iPad. As soon as I got in his cab he handed me the ipad and said politely 'please speak English. The ipad set-up worked well and quickly. End result no language difficulties whatever. Friendly and polite young guy, uni student/part-time driver, all discussed on the ipad. After a while I asked him jokingly in Thai 'Can you speak Thai?' He laughed his head off then said 'Yes I can, can you speak Essan?' 7 Link to post Share on other sites
