- Smallest, best, most accurate voice and text translator I've used. Retired life in Ajijic, Mexico on Lake Chapala. RV Life. Projects in the mountains of central Mexico, our USA travels in a 40' Monaco motor home, or whatever else is on my mind today. :)

Boy, what a cool device. When I was younger and traveled a lot, they sold a little translator in
the plane, but not with voice, just display. That was more than 30 years ago. What a great
little invention. Could have used it in China, Russia, Turkey, France, Italy, Egypt and Mexico.
All different languages. Now I am too old, I saw a lot of the world when it was cheaper.
Sure would have liked it back then.
I believe I also had that translator... It was a great device at the time, and I learned a lot of new vocabulary each time I used it!
What a nifty invention! PS. Your Maid probably deserves a tip 😂
She's paid well. :)
Very good review and comparison with google translate. I would definitely make this purchase if traveling in a foreign country. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Jerry, your the consummate sales person. Cheers, Mate.
Great stuff I used one on my trip to Mexico and it was so nice and made a huge difference in understanding the culture and showing respect to the wonderful Mexican people. Highly recommend.
Please use it again soon. :)
The earbud translator was great but this device is the one I will buy!! Tell Lynn I said 'HI'.
She says hi back. :)
Wow. That is an amazing little gadget. I need to look into one.
Great little device to help. I agree with your housekeeper, it translated correctly. 👍👏
Jerry, this device would be INVALUABLE for someone like myself who struggles with ENGLISH 😂 let alone other languages! BTW: your maid is very sweet!! Have a beautiful and blessed day!!🎉 LUCRETIA
Very good demonstrations and explanations, Jerry. You certainly are keeping up with the technology!
I try. :)
Pretty neat. Thanks for sharing this item with us.
Thanks for watching!
congratulations jerry and thanks for trying to learn spanish
SOLD! I just ordered one. My wife said “don’t you want to practice what you’ve learned from your Spanish lessons?”. I said I do, but only for casual conversations. I want this available when I shouldn’t rely on my Spanglish - like at custons. 😊
Buena idea. Good plan. :)
Thanks for the tip. Looks like a great machine. Just had a quick look at the website. For those thinking of going to places with patchy reception the offline service covers English to: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Russian.
Google Translate does the same thing and it doesn’t cost anything.
But this simple, I would definitely buy one.
JC this looks wonderful. I own the Timekettle WT2 Edge/W3 , but do not like having to use the earbuds. Feels awkward to ask stranger to put something in their ear. I carry around alcohol wipes to clean for other person before asking. This new toy from Timekettle looks much more user friendly for ad-hoc conversations.
I had the same feelings.
This seems to be a huge improvement over the Earbuds I purchased a little over a year ago... I honestly got tired of the time-lapse and incorrect interpretations. I know enough Spanish to get myself in trouble sometimes... but I could understand what it was saying... just didn't care for the delays and lack of Mexican Spanish which can be SO different from one area to another... I was having a conversation with a guy in Guadalajara about this topic and he explained to me that some terms I was using that are "fine" in Puebla, were NOT acceptable to his area and had a double meaning that outweighed the translation. It's always a bit better to gain understanding of the local language! :) THANK YOU for highlighting these products, Jerry! Always appreciate your views...
Yes, idiomatic expression and double meanings can be a problem even for native speakers without technology. Sometimes I can't even understand teenagers in English!
@@JCTravelStories hard to believe we were teenagers once!!! :)
It only messed up once, when you first spoke about your IPhone 13. Worked very well! Very handy. She has a Spanish accent.
The off line file is Spain Spanish. The online translation gives the option for Mexican Spanish.
Amazing easy to use translator, Jerry. Maybe someone will come up with a gadget which you sing into, then you pick the artist you would like to sound like, in any language, maybe Elvis, Pavarotti, Willy Nelson, Robert Plant, Bocelli, etc. 😏
Buena idea! :)
i wonder if it detects the dialects of spanish, like of the maid per say, then continues to translate in that dialect for that episode. And if there are words that it changes on translation for respect of gender or social status of the receiver... tricky in some cultures. Smart device, glad you posted this advertisement.
🙏🙏🙏
Could of used one of these in my early dating career LOL
Thanks for the video. I just put it on my Amazon wish list. But what happens after 1 year with regard to the global data?
You can buy more data, but the downloaded languages will not require more data.
Seems like a lesser Google Translate with a physical push-to-talk button (Google Translate conversation mode has an on-screen button). Might we worth $50 USD, but not $150. Flip-phone users might be an exception.
😎
Put Google Translate in Conversation Mode and both parties can just talk. Make sure you're in Conversation Mode and not just translation mode.
Jerry , how is the battery life? The ear buds work great but they're a POS because of the battery life. You have to plan your usage of them and make sure they're charged when you need them.
I have not used it enough to run down the battery, so I can't really answer your question. I can tell you the manual says it’s a 1500mah battery which physically would not fit in an ear bud, so my expectation would be it’s better. Also, I know that even with a phone if it’s constantly searching for a Wi-Fi signal in a poor signal area it drains the battery. Being able to download a language pair for offline translation and putting it in airplane mode would eliminate Wi-Fi searching.
I will do more research, but offhand do you know what the charge would be after the one year period?
No I don't know, but unless you're a world traveler who will visit more than 8 countries, you can download several language combinations before your year is up. And if you are that world traveler …. Do you need to ask about the price? :)
Jerry, you need to download the Mexican Spanish, the one you have is the Spanish from Spain and some words are not being translated correctly for Mexican people.
Thank you for that info. I'll check it out. :)
It has a Spanish accent.
Does it work off-line or do you need Wi-Fi?
You can download pairs of languages to use off line without Wi-Fi.
The Spanish speaker clearly has a Spanish accent from Spain. Can you choose Mexico?
Thank you for pointing that out. I wouldn't have known. Yes, you can choose Mexican Spanish for the online translation. I used the downloaded off line function in the video and I do not see an off line downloadable Mexican Spanish file …. Only with the online Wi-Fi connection.
Where is the link to buy one??

I just got mine after watching this video. The off line translation are not very accurate and the on line only translates English to Spanish. If i speak spanish it speaks back in spanish. Trying to find trouble shooting already and ive only had it 2 hours......not impressed........ update tried troubleshooting for several hours. Online translation does not work. English to Spanish works....but Spanish to English does not. This must be defective.....returning product and will not get another one. It was $250.00 Canadian and I will not spend that kind of money on something that is defective on first purchase. It was too good to be true in my case........must be a quality control problem (made in China)
I'm sorry you had trouble Brenda. Mine worked well just as you saw it the video and I've used it a lot since the video. I've tried practicing my own Spanish and it has trouble understanding my Spanglish accent, but it totally understands my Mexican friends and translates well. The off line language file is not Mexican, it’s Spain Spanish. The online function has an option for Mexican Spanish. It’s $135 USD …I didn't know the Canadian dollar has dropped that much. WOW!
