Language Translator Device, Two-Way Instant Voice Translator for 108 Languages, Real-Time Translation Device with Online Offline Translation, Portable Traductor for Travel, Business

I use it all the time and it works great

My new girlfriend is Puerto Rican and her English is not perfect but she understands English very well. This product is spot on and translates very quickly, she calls it her new best friend!

This product offers extremely limited offline language pairs. Is English-Italian to much to ask? I travel to some big cities but I am often in remote areas where I need a translator the most. Half of the pairs are Chinese to something. I would not recommend this product. If I have to be online, I'll just use a phone app

Generally speaking, I am quite pleased with this translator device. Following are the "pros". As far as I can tell, it does provide accurate and instantaneous translations of words, phrases, even sentences. I can use it with no internet connection, so I can use it "on the street" or "on the road". The device creates sound files of exchanges, and also a written text file of the source language statements and the target language translations. The text file is super helpful for revisiting an exchange, especially if you are in the process of learning the target language. Finally, I made two requests for technical support (via email), and both were answered promptly (within 24 hours). Now the "cons". Although the device does come with a small instruction book, the information seems to be the bare minimum. (BTW, the two questions I posed to their tech support were of the nature that I think should have been covered in a user's manual.) Prior to purchasing I had watched a review of the device on line where the guy doing the review said that the device affords one the ability to alter the speed of the translation (i.e., slow down the translation for better comprehension of the target language). This speed adjustment feature, however, only applies to the Chinese language. Since I am using the device to assist me in learning Spanish, I was disappointed to learn of this limitation. To be clear, I don't hold Jarvisen responsible for what someone says on Youtube, but I am disappointed that they did not anticipate that this type of device would be used by someone learning a new language and that the language learner might want to slow down the audio of the target language translation for comprehension purposes. I certainly would be more impressed with the device if it had this feature for all supported languages. Although I am very pleased that after each translation session a single text file is made available of the exchanges. (This is huge as far as language learning is concerned.) But, instead of having one large audio file of the exchanges, every discrete exchange is packaged as its own, separate audio file. Thus, if you wanted to save an entire exchange you would need to save each one and then to play them you would need to launch each one individually. That seems pretty inconvenient, to the point of being mostly unusable from a practical perspective. Finally, I wish they provided more and better information on the global network card that is provided for free for 2 years. (BTW, this goes back to the issue noted above, namely the "minimalist user manual". At this point I am unclear on how I am supposed to know whether my device is actually using that feature, or is it using a phone network, or using my wifi network when I am at home. The device has four icons in the top left of the screen. One seems to be a "4G" network, the second is the letter "R" (what does that stand for?), the third is the image of a globe (is that the global network card?), and the fourth is a wifi symbol. Looking at my screen they all seem to be lit up, so which one is actually carrying the communication traffic. A description of this aspect of the operation of the device would certainly have been appreciated.

I have tried about seven different standalone translator devices. This is, by far, the best one! It is faster than all the others, has a pleasant voice, and is very intuitive. I tried many units in the $100 price range, and they were all slow and / or had other issues. I even tried one of equal price (Vasco), and it was a bit better, but not as fast. With translating devices, speed is of great importance!

I purchased the Jarvisen Translator 2 for my mother, and she likes it. The translations are usually accurate enough for everyday use.However, there is a major drawback: the limited number of language pairs available for OFFLINE access. Currently, there are only 18 pairs to choose from, such as French-English and Arabic-Chinese. If you're interested in a pair like English-Turkish, you're out of luck. For these language pairs, you have to have internet connection. The manufacturer's website mentions that more language pairs will be available for offline downloading "soon," but it's unclear when that will be.Considering that the device supports 108 languages, the number of possible language pairs is substantial—5,778 to be exact. This means that many potential pairings are not currently available for OFFLINE access, which could be frustrating for users. Out of 5,778 language pairs, only 18 is available for OFFLINE access and downloading.I would suggest that the manufacturer provide offline files for additional language pairs or offer them on a request basis, such as through email support.For languages not available offline, Jarvisen offers a Global Mobile Data option, which provides free internet for two years. After that, you can purchase more data—$100 for one year, $120 for two years, and $200 for five years. However, I'm not sure how effective this option is.Living in Los Angeles, the translator only shows one bar for its 4G connection, making translations much slower—around three seconds compared to 0.5 seconds for ONLINE translations. While the website lists 92 countries where the global internet is supposed to work, based on my experience in LA, I'm uncertain how reliable the network will be elsewhere.Overall, if the manufacturer made all languages available for offline access, this translator would be a solid 5-star product.

Very nice to have and it's uniqueness. It works better than the older one

Maybe I had misread the description but I would have thought for $499 that it would have real time conversation translation. You have to pass the device back and forth. Plus it doesn't always activate when you motion it up to your mouth. Overall I think you're paying for the design but the software/application needs a lot of work. I'll be returning this and waiting until something else comes out.
