I work as a paramedic in a very diverse community that is also extremely busy and on one shift may encounter more than 3 different languages. Currently in my immediate area I cover we have 78 registered languages and that doesn't include regional dialects so having the ability to translate in emergent situations is necessary often. So I bought this handheld translator.

The unit itself reminds me of a flip phone in the way it opens. It supports two screens to allow distance between users, and that's the main reason I bought this. The primary screen device has touch screen and physical buttons and the second screen is a display only.

Regardless of how the device operates physically the most important feature is the translation both from stored languages or live online translation. The stored language is obviously way faster to translate. Options for translation include online, offline, real time AI, photo, text, and even video call translation. The are over 100+ languages to choose from the available list. It's not 100% accurate when trying to record dictation but if you take your time it does work.

It's a good device and it has helped me assess a lot of patients accurately prior to treatment. There are just so many languages and dialects that eventually it may not be in the list but all your major languages, seventeen, are represented. A case is included but it can not be attached to my duty belt, which is my only complaint.
