旅行必备的实时翻译耳机

Communication problems while traveling abroad could become a thing of the past, thanks to an incredible new gadget.

Timekettle’s WT2 Bluetooth headset promises to translate conversations in near real time so that you’re never left lost in translation.

A Kickstarter campaign could help to bring the tool to mass market.

The WT2 comprises a pair of headsets which connect to an iOS app that conducts the translation work. As soon as the charging case that holds the headsets is opened, they automatically pair with the iPhone or iPad.

As one person speaks, their sentence is sent through the headset to the smartphone. It is then translated into the desired language and spoken into the earpiece worn by the second person. There is a short delay of around three seconds, but the firm hopes to reduce this to as little as one second.

Currently, it can translate from Mandarin Chinese to English, but more languages are expected to be added.(SD-Agencies)
