Translation Device

does anyone own a translation device (except google translate)
can anyone recommend one that can be used especially during meetings? I’ve tried Google translate but doesn’t capture audio as I needed.
so, I am wondering if there is any good to buy device for translation.

The version of Google Translate on my Android phone does capture audio. Though i suspect it’s for a single phrase or two.

Do any of these actually work well yet? I occasionally see ads for products like these, but I always assumed (maybe wrongly) that they were still some futuristic Star Trek-type thing that promise more than they offer.

Whenever somebody whips out their phone and wants us both to speak into it for Google Translate to try and sort out, I know the interaction is going to be a complete nightmare. Typing stuff is mostly fine nowadays, but I find that automatic speech translation leaves us both more confused than if we’d just talked over each other in different languages the other doesn’t understand, especially in situations with background noise where I’m most likely going to be using it. :sweat_smile:

Zoom, WebEx and Teams all are now including real-time LLM translation as one of their paid features. But I guess you want a device for in person meetings?

basically both, in person and in online meeting platforms. though they still discuss it with me but generally with a limited info (I guess).

that is what I also want to know, if it really works, or works better than google translate.
I occasionally use google translate during meetings but unless you ask them to pause or talk slowly, google translate will not be able to catch up with what they say.

Chatgpt translate is better than google translate.

Theres also microsoft translate. All arenr perfect. They skip words
