ZERO Translator (Language Translator Compatible with Ios)

It works about as well as the earbuds, just gets a little more confused the faster you go. I found the earbuds were able to keep up just ever so slightly faster. But honestly if you have the earbuds I suggest getting this too, it's often discounted or free with promotions on amazon. I got it for discounted, mostly just to be able to cover more kinds of conversation. Honestly find myself using it almost as much as the earbuds themselves. I work with multiple customers with language barriers and have had success with time kettle stuff pretty much every time. The accuracy is is better than other translator services I've used. They've found the balance between accuracy and speed. Connectivity and sound quality are good, I had one period of like 2 seconds the earbuds paused or were thinking longer than usual, but this has been consistent. Ear buds slightly faster but connectivity is more of a concern. Really hard to say much just trying to hit all the important parts. Overall there's not many things that have gone wrong in my experience. I sell phones and about 60% of our customer base is latino. I've literally made hundreds of dollars thanks to being able to facilitate sales with people who don't even speak the same language as me. Considering I've made my money back already and continue to gain from this product it's hard to complain, translation is definitely worth it for me. If you're on the fence about this I'd have two suggestions. 1. If you are a consumer, and just think this is cool, it's a good thing to have I highly suggest it. BUT don't get the earbuds, you might not get the use out of them that you want. 2. If you bought the earbuds and have a use-case as well as promotional pricing on this, get it anyway it's worth it because of the different kinds of conversation this device can capture vs. the earbuds. This captures more people. I see a lot of asking about the battery life, and it's absolutely perfect for me. I'm able to pop them out anytime a customer walks in just in case they speak a different language (I've had more than just spanish). I leave them out the entire time customers are in the store, and use them about 1/3 of the time people come in. Then when people leave I pop them back in, and they last for 4-5 days of doing this. Never had them die on me. Also charge fast with usb-c.

Total garbage. Doesnt even understand english properly. UPDATE: I stand by this review 100%. I am a former computer company owner, and still work in the tech industry. My wife is from Mexico and we thought it’d be cool to use at family get together’s. Unfortunately this product is completely useless. To explain: once i had posted my review of the product i started getting unsolicited emails from the seller; outside of Amazon. -Obviously i felt the need to report this to Amazon’s customer service. They weren’t happy.

Handy little device for quick translations. Works well with accents and has decent voice recording. Best used with earlier iPhones.

Works like it is supposed to have not had a chance to use it yet but am looking forward to trying it out.

This is a reasonably well designed product and I really wanted to like it, but it simply doesn't work.. at least not for the language I needed it for. First, I need to bring up a bit of a design flaw.. the Zero will not plug into the iPhone with any case on it.. they need to make the lightning connector a bit longer. As it is, even the thinnest case I had prevented the use of the device, so either you have to use a lightning extension cable (which is what I did) or pop the phone out of the case every time you want to use the Zero. Now, the main problem was that the translation wasn't accurate.. in fact it was WAY off. I had a chance to try this with several people who spoke different languages than me.. I tried Portuguese, Czech, French and Hungarian. I tried several modes.. simultaneous, touch, interview, etc. The translations weren't just bad, they were TERRIBLE. And I tried many different ways of positioning the microphone. When trying, we spoke carefully and slowly, as well as just speaking naturally. It got the translation right maybe 20% of the time, and even then it was only somewhat right. Google translate does a far superior job for free in comparison.. which is really disappointing. I wanted it to work. Oh well. I subsequently decided to try another device which shall remain nameless except to say it fits in your pocket and the difference was absolutely striking. I went from most translations being wrong, to most translations being right, or at least in the ballpark of what was said.

Know what you are doing when you order. Did not fit my Android system.

This device offers a much better translation than the standard options. I also purchased the earbuds, and the translation works fine. Sometimes it has a delay, and using it in a meeting can cause problems when more than one person is talking.

Purchased this unit along with the Time kettle earbuds to use to help translate a class. The purpose was to use as a backup as this was my first time taking a class that was not in my native language. The instructions were of no assistance in getting the unit set up and configured. A google search was not much assistance. After several hours of downloading, connecting, uninstall, and restarting the process never could get the unit or the earbuds to connect and work properly. Ordered another set of translator earbuds that work well and did not need an additional device to attach to my phone in order to work.

Its capable with your phone
