With SIGMO you will be able to use the language of 25 countries.
Here are Mr. David Barnett and Marti Karrer who set up this project. He seems to have developed this machine in order to get rid of the "language barrier" that I felt when traveling in various countries.
Usage is simple. Press the button on the upper side of the right side ......
I will speak to the microphone.
Then SIGMO will translate to the desired language and will talk in that language.
You can also translate and speak in the same way from the other language to the user's language by pressing the button below.
Various uses. Besides traveling, business negotiations with overseas, overseas business trips, learning languages, etc., there are many possible uses.
The basic colors are three colors, white, black and yellow.
Moreover, the actual use scene is as follows.
Sigmo Voice Translator - YouTube
A woman walking in the street while traveling.
I asked the passing person about the way in Spanish but was heard back that "Can you speak English?"
So, the appearance of SIGMO. Speaking something in Spanish ......
I asked my voice in English "How can I get to the subway station?"
This time I understood a man. "Go to the station like this, then turn around like this, then go ah and go like this." But can women understand this explanation?
I was able to understand the way to the station in Spanish that flows from SIGMO, a woman who was pushing a button even while a man was talking.
The scene has changed, the man who came to a certain restaurant ......
I was spoken to "Guten Tak" in German!
"Well ... could you speak English?"
I took out SIGMO, a man who was told to no good. "What is the recommended breakfast menu?"
A woman listening to German heard from SIGMO.
It seems that the contents passed, and it will guide you to the menu smoothly, but ... I do not know exactly what you are saying.
However, all are translated by SIGMO. "There is a set of scrambled eggs and sausages. Would you like to eat?"
"Sounds good, then do it one."
"Certainly yes" and a smile. I was able to order safely.
SIGMO acts like a real interpreter, but only uses the existing online translation system as a mechanism. If you connect Bluetooth with iPhone or Android smartphone which installed dedicated application, it works.
In addition to Japanese, English (America / UK / Australia / Canada), Spanish (Spain / USA / Mexico), French (France / Canada ) · Finnish · German · Italian · Chinese (Chinese / Taiwan / Hong Kong) · Catalan · Korean · Dutch · Norwegian · Swedish · Danish · Portuguese (Portugal / Brazil) · Polish · Russian · Arabic · Indonesian · Hebrew · Czech · Turkish · African languages · Malay · Croatian · Thai · Greek · Belgian · Slovak · Hungarian · Ukrainian · Hindi.
Although online operation is currently supported, in the future it is said that development is being promoted so that translation can be done even in a state not connected to the Internet.

On the back, stainless steel clip is also equipped.
It's so small, hanging from the neck with a strap ... ...
It is also possible to turn on the belt with the clip.
