Timekettle WT2 Edge/W3 Translator Device - Bidirection Simultaneous Translation, Language Translator Device with 40 Languages & 93 Accent Online, Translator Earbuds with APP, Fit for iOS & Android

This is such an impressive tool for communication. The wireless earphones are charged and stored with a discrete and sleek pod that is easy for travel and to slip into a pocket or bag. The wireless earpods are a good size and fit comfortably in the ear. They are labelled with R and L to show which war they should be used in and this also is used to identify the earpiece related to a particular language. There is a light on the side that let's you know when they are charged or in use. The earphones are used with an app called Timekettle, which can be downloaded on the Play or Apple store app. It has very clear directions to connect and use the earphones and also tells you the percentage of battery that is remaining on each earpiece. The earpiece is both a speaker and microphone, and in addition has a touch pad facility that allows you to control the translations and focus using the touch buttons on the side of the earpiece. The app gives a range of ways to use the app including listening to others and translating, listening in one language and translating to another or a two way conversation that is translated in real time. The app also serves as a visual form of communication too. It has very easy to understand and follow instructions, and is visually very easy to use and works quickly. The sound is very clear and I was also impressed with the accuracy of the sounds that thw microphone picked up. There is a large selection of different languages to select and translate from/into so very useful for travelling and communication in a range of situations. This device is quite pricey but would easily balance the cost with the exceptional ability and convenience in being able to communicate so quickly and easily with a range of people in a range of locations. There are so many ways that this device could help in different situations, from multi-cultural business meetings; travel, either business or pleasure; communicating in schools with non-English speaking students; communicating with a neighbour whose first language is not English, etc. The ease and speed of being able to set up and use this device opens such a range of possibilities of use. Very impressed- this is the future of communication.

needed years of work on the software... that... wait a 5 years to buy something like this...

Just about everyone in my family is at least bilingual, but some speak more than two languages, whereas I never seemed to get the hang of anything but English. So when I had the chance to try this Timekettle translator devices, I was curious. First off, they came without any battery charge, so I put them on to charge using the USB-C lead, and they do charge quickly. They are super easy to set up, but you do need to do it through the app (see the screenshot). They are comfortable to wear, but I did find they are not a secure fit. Once set up, you can download some languages for free, and others you have to pay for. My neighbour is French, but also fluent in many other European languages, and we thought we would see how good the translation is. However, this is where the issues started to really arise. The translation process is slow and delayed, and would be no good unless you asked the person to speak slowly. There was also some problems with a few words being translated too. Given the price of £299.99 for the earbuds (at the time of review in March 2023), and then the added costs if you required languages other than the ones that come free, this isn't cheap. Sure, it is cheaper than hiring a human translator, but I would still want this Timekettle to be more accurate and agile.

This pair of translator earbuds is an excellent tool for anyone who needs to communicate with people who speak a different language. The Timekettle WT2 Edge/W3 Translator Earbuds use wifi or cellular networks to provide two-way simultaneous translation. It is powered by the world's leading translation engines (DeepL, Google, Microsoft, iFlytek, etc.) and Timekettle's own to improve translation accuracy. This pair of earbuds also have noise-reduction technology to filter out background noise and four connection modes: Simul, Touch, Speaker, and Group Chat. Furthermore, in Simul mode, one translation earbud is shared with a partner, and both of their words are translated into bi-directional communication. Touch Mode operates by tapping the force sensor to activate voice pick-up and then touching again to translate. While the Speaker mode requires only one person to wear the real-time translator, the Group chat mode allows up to 40 people to speak different languages in the same chat group from anywhere. It is ergonomically designed to fit snugly in my ears for hours on end and supports three hours of continuous translating time on a single charge with an entire 12-hour portable charging case. It supports 40 languages and 93 accents online, making it ideal for handling conversations while travelling abroad, along with an 8-language offline translation package that includes Chinese, English, Japanese, French, Spanish, Korean, Russian, and German. The device also has an app that can be installed on iOS and Android, making it simple to use with a smartphone or tablet. It is very light to wear, does not slip, and is incredibly user-friendly to enjoy a variety of languages to interact with individuals from all over the world. I simply need to select the languages I want to communicate, place one earbud in my ear and one in the ear of the person I want to communicate with, and begin talking using the Bidirectional talking feature. The device will translate my words into another language and vice versa in high-quality audio. It also features a long battery life, so I never have to worry about recharging it during a conversation. However, there are some flaws in this Translator Device. Some of the issues I've had with it are that it's not very reliable or accurate when it comes to providing translations, and it frequently takes a long time to translate and process a sentence, which can be frustrating if I'm in a hurry. The device also has a limited vocabulary, which means it may be unable to translate specific words or phrases or recognize dialects and accents. Overall, the translation it generates can be inaccurate and confusing. Still, as long as the main idea is conveyed, it is acceptable, making it an excellent choice for travellers, students, and professionals to overcome language barriers.

I got this for my mother in law, who was helping us out with looking after our daughter here in the U.K. She’s Greek and wanted as much help as possible being able to understand what’s being said! The earphones look quite sleek and light and are stored and charged in a nice pod that easily fits any bag or pocket. They do fit most ears I reckon and they are clearly marked which one is which, which is quite important in terms of translation and languages! Users can also download the associated application, called Timekettle. It is very straightforward to download and use. I found that the app is quite multi-modal, in that it can help with writing something in one language and having it translated in the language of choice of the person wearing the earphones. Users can also hold a two way conversation that is being translated in real time! There is a wide selection of languages and features on the app and overall, I can see this being very useful in a number of situations, such as education, holidays and even business meetings.
