Translation app to facilitate communication for immigrants

Language barriers are one of the biggest challenges faced by immigrant communities

An innovative app which facilitates translation of conversations. The user simply speaks into the device then flips it to deliver the translation. This means being able to look at the person they are communicating with rather than at a screen, making the conversation more natural and expressive. The on-board speaker is directional rather than diffusing, ensuring that the conversation remains private.
