VoiceTra is a versatile speech translation application designed to facilitate communication during travel. This app efficiently translates your spoken words into a variety of languages, making it an essential tool for travelers and those welcoming visitors to Japan.

Key Features:

VoiceTra leverages advanced technologies from the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), including high-precision speech recognition, translation, and speech synthesis. This allows the app to convert your speech into different languages and deliver the translations via synthesized voice.

The app's intuitive interface allows for instant switching of translation directions, enabling two people who speak different languages to communicate effectively using just one device. For languages that don't support speech input, text input is available, ensuring comprehensive usability.

VoiceTra is particularly useful for travel-related scenarios, such as:

• Transportation: Navigating buses, trains, rental cars, taxis, airports, and transit systems.
• Shopping: Engaging in transactions at restaurants, shopping centers, and during payment processes.
• Hotel: Handling check-ins, check-outs, and cancellations.
• Sightseeing: Assisting with overseas travel and supporting foreign customers.

Additionally, VoiceTra has been recognized for its utility in disaster prevention and response.

While the app can serve as a dictionary for looking up individual words, it is most effective when used to translate entire sentences, as it can better interpret context to deliver accurate translations.

Supported Languages:

VoiceTra supports an impressive array of 31 languages, including but not limited to: Japanese, English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Korean, Thai, French, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Spanish, Myanmar, Arabic, Italian, Ukrainian, Urdu, Dutch, Khmer, Sinhala, Danish, German, Turkish, Nepali, Hungarian, Hindi, Filipino, Polish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Malay, Mongolian, Lao, and Russian.

Restrictions and Considerations:

• An internet connection is necessary for using VoiceTra.
• The speed of translation results may vary based on network connectivity.
• Text input is limited to languages supported by the OS keyboard.
• Proper display of characters requires the appropriate fonts to be installed on your device.
• The app's functionality may be affected if the server is down.
• Users are responsible for any communication fees, including potentially high international data roaming charges.
• VoiceTra was developed for research purposes, with servers set up accordingly. Data collected will be used to enhance speech translation technologies.
• While businesses can test the app, for ongoing use, consider licensed private services that utilize VoiceTra's technology.
