Travis is a handheld translator that works with over 80 languages
We’re getting very close to a Babel fish era, where you can just stick something in your ear and converse fluently with any human on Earth. But in the meantime, we have our smartphones. Travis the Translator is a new project on Indiegogo that strips out most of the smartphone fluff to create a simple, portable translation device.
The device supports over 80 languages when it has a SIM in it, or a Wi-Fi connection, and 20 languages in offline mode. The creators of Travis have apparently partnered with several different companies to include the “best translation engines” for each language. Travis has a stripped-down UI for selecting what languages you’re trying to work with, and it can auto-detect languages, as well.
Unfortunately, right…
