Timekettle WT2 Edge W3 Translator Device, Bidirection Simultaneous Translation, Translator Earbuds with 40 Languages, Offline Translator, Fast Reaction with Revolutionary Al Tech, Offline Version

Easy enough to operate.

While sitting with a native Spanish speaker, alone in a quiet room, the translation was about 50% accurate. You also need to wait until the other person is completely done speaking or it will try to translate all voices at once. Conversation is not possible with this. It is a great idea, but at that price point I expect 100% accuracy with voice isolation. I will wait a few years until the technology becomes better.

Very good product

Read about this product online and feature at CES. Translation is pretty good. Speech recognition could be improve. Operational modes good. But could be even better for business users if the simultaneous translation could be used with a bigger audience like in larger meetings or at presentations. Right now using phone has limitation in a bigger room. Look forward to improvements. Hopefully with software update and not having to buy a new model.

This is my first experience with an in-ear translator and the experience has been positive so far. I have used it to converse with coworkers from Mexico, Russia, France (oh yeah, really necessary!) and India. This gizmo can even recognize the lovely Indian accent and speak back to you in that accent! To use the simultaneous translation mode — of course, even a UN top translator cannot do pure simultaneous translation due to language semantic and grammatical differences not to mention the difficulties with idioms — you give one of the earbuds to the other party and wear the other one yourself. Your iPhone is not needed for picking up the speech but acts as the neural brain for the translation work. This may also explain why they decided not to include regular earphone functions as, alas, one of your buds will probably spend more time in other people’s ears, and not everyone cleans their ears regularly like you do. This mode is my favorite, but you need to be patient with the slight delays in translation; the speed seems to spend mostly on the speed of your Internet connection. I haven’t tried the offline mode yet even though I bought that version. The listening mode is good for watching foreign movies. It uses your iPhone’s mic to pick up the sound and then extract speech and translate. Depending on the audio quality of your TV or amplifier, the results can be inconsistent, but it works most of the time for me (I play videos mostly on my 16 inch MacBook Pro with its awesome speakers). It’s lots of fun. A mode called touch mode works like a pair of walkie talkies: you give one bud to the other person, then each of you taps the bud (like on the original AirPod) before speaking. You don’t hold the bud’s side when you speak, just tap and speak. This mode is great when you are in a noisy environment so the system knows when and who’s talking. There’s one speaker mode where you wear the bud(s) while the other person uses your iPhone running the TimeKettle app. This saves you from sharing your bud with someone who doesn’t wash often… As long as you have a strong Internet connection or have downloaded the offline content, and have a little patience, this gizmo works pretty well. It even works in noisy restaurants and bars for me. And yes, I set my end to Indian English. That alone is worth the price!

Son muy buenos traductores en tiempo real la traducción la hacen de inmediato y muy entendibles si lo haces una persona de idioma diferente al tuyo pero nativa es necesario hablar lento y no mucho tiempo para q el traductor haga su trabajo casi perfecto

1-Star Review: Timekettle WT2 Edge/W3 Translator Device – A Disappointing Experience in France. I purchased the Timekettle WT2 Edge/W3 Translator Device (Offline Version) for a trip to France, hoping its promised bidirectional simultaneous translation and offline capabilities would make communication seamless. Unfortunately, it fell far short of expectations and felt grossly overpriced for its performance. Despite downloading the offline language pack for French, the device frequently failed to work without an internet connection, rendering it useless in areas with poor signal. The "real-time" translation was anything but—lagging by up to a minute and a half, leaving me struggling to keep up with conversations as they moved on. This made interactions frustrating and awkward, defeating the purpose of a translator. For a device priced at a premium (closer to $350), I expected reliability and speed, but it performed more like a $30 gadget. I’m deeply disappointed and wouldn’t recommend it unless significant improvements are made.

No, mucho retardo, pierdes la mitad de la idea.
