Mobile phrasebooks for the 21st century:
Speaking travel guide on your mobile: this is the world’s first mobile phone applica�on that
turns your phone into a mul�lingual holiday or business lifeline. The applica�on contains up
to 250 phrases for each of the current 20 languages supported. Not only does it display the
phrases on your screen phone�cally, it fluently speaks them in the local language. Whether
you are looking for direc�ons, of even looking for love, your mobile can now do the talking.
The applica�on contains up to 300 phrases for each of the current seven languages supported.
Not only does it display the phrases on your screen phone�cally, it fluently speaks them in
the local language. Whether you are looking for direc�ons, a restaurant, a museum of even
looking for love, your mobile can now do the talking. The guides also have maps based on
GPS and the user can also forward these applica�ons to their friends with a ‘send to friend’
feature.
“Even if we can find the words we need in a phrase book, trying to ask where is the nearest
cash machine is in Mandarin is beyond most of us. The ability of the mobile to speak clearly
for you has shown some amazing results. People warm to you. It becomes a point of interest
and communica�ng and ge�ng what you want much simpler.” – Sander Munsterman,
Xs2theworld
Dining out is just a small part of the phrases available. The range of words is based around
a number of ac�vi�es from local customs, travel, doctors or emergencies to general
conversa�ons, flir�ng and fun.
