3PO is a speech-to-speech, real time translator.
Designed with simplicity in mind.
Unique features: Give one ear pod to your conversation partner to communicate in different languages in real-time (with just one phone.)
No airpods? No problem. Phone speaker + Built-in Mic works fine too.
No configuration is required. Your partner can be speaking in any of the 45 languages, you will hear it translated.
And the reverse happens when you speak.
1) Unlike Google Translate, you do not need to select which language you are translating from.
2) Furthermore, multiple languages can be used within the same conversation, minimizing friction as you interact with multiple speakers.
This is particularly helpful where multiple languages are used in day-to-day interactions
For example, discussions in Eastern Ukraine may happen in Ukrainian or Russian. Restaurant staff in China may speak in local dialects (such as Cantonese or Sichuan) instead of Mandarin.
You even use words from multiple languages within the same sentence.
This is a important step forward towards achieving near real-time, multi-lingual communication.
• Communicate with strangers quickly, with low friction
• Listen to broadcasts easily
Example scenarios:
• Someone is in need of help, but you don’t know what he/she is talking about nor in which language.
• When travelling, you know something important is being broadcasted, but you have no clue what’s going on.
Now, you can just launch 3PO to “tune in”.
