SpeechTrans Ultimate App

The company SpeechTrans has a product called the SpeechTrans Ultimate App. It's available in versions for the iPad, iPhone and Android platforms. The application turns spoken words from one language into voice output in another by enabling text-to-text, text-to-speech, and two-way speech-to-speech communication translations in multiple languages.

Two-way speech communications are enabled for English, UK English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Italian, German and Mandarin Chinese. Text-to-speech is available for the preceding languages as well as Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Dutch, Swedish and Arabic.

The application also stores and can play back previous translations, without access to an Internet connection. In this version the auto-translate feature can be turned off, allowing same language conversations. Information from other applications can also be cut and pasted into SpeechTrans, so it can be translated and read aloud to another individual.

The ability to store and play back translations is a valuable feature for communicating frequently asked questions or phrases and to enable usage without an Internet connection. The Automatic Speech Recognition technology used in SpeechTrans Ultimate comes from Nuance Communications, a specialist in speech recognition and other technologies.
