VoiceTra is a powerful speech translation application designed to facilitate communication across different languages, particularly useful for travel and welcoming visitors to Japan. This app, available for free download, supports 31 languages and offers a user-friendly interface that allows you to verify the accuracy of translations.

Key Features:

VoiceTra leverages advanced speech recognition, translation, and speech synthesis technologies developed by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT). It converts your spoken words into various languages and delivers the results via synthesized voice. The app's ability to instantly switch translation directions makes it ideal for real-time communication between two individuals using a single device. For languages without speech input support, text input is available.

VoiceTra is particularly suited for travel-related scenarios, enhancing your experience in various contexts such as:

• Transportation: Navigating buses, trains, rental cars, taxis, airports, and transit systems.
• Shopping: Dining at restaurants, shopping, and handling payments.
• Hotel: Managing 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 it can serve as a dictionary for word lookups, for the best results, it is recommended to input full sentences, as the app interprets meaning from context to produce accurate translations.

Supported Languages:

VoiceTra supports a wide array of languages including Japanese, English, Chinese (simplified and traditional), 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 the app to function.
• The speed of displaying translation results may vary based on network conditions.
• Text input is limited to languages supported by your device's OS keyboard.
• Proper display of characters requires the appropriate fonts to be installed on your device.

• Users are responsible for communication fees, including potentially high international data roaming charges.
• Developed for research purposes, the app uses research-oriented servers, and data collected is used to enhance speech translation technologies.
