Anyone who has traveled around in a foreign country without knowing the language probably understands the difficultyof communicating across variouslanguages. But now, real-time translationis available with just a smartphone app and a pair of earbuds.

The earbuds can operate in three different modes. The first is the SpeakerMode, which is great for translatingsimple sentences or questions. The earbuds can replay the sentence to help you learn it for yourself. The second is the Listen Mode, where the earbuds actively listen to translate what people nearby are saying. This is great for attending meetings or listening to a class. The last is the Touch Mode, in which two people each use an earbud. They can have a conversationacross languages by using the earbud speakers and microphonesto translate a conversation line by line, which is pretty incredible!
