Hanaso Talk, a conversation translation app
Removing the small language barriers between ten languages, on the spot.
Hanaso Talk is a conversation support app that quickly translates short phrases and displays them in large text. Choose any two of ten languages and translate both ways — supporting face-to-face communication while traveling, in shops, at stations, hotels, and events. Available for iOS and Android.
Overview
An in-house conversation support app born from the field
Hanaso Talk is an in-house product from Strive Trading's Digital Solutions business. It solves a problem we face daily in inbound tourism and international trade — short phrases that just won't get across — with simple controls and large, easy-to-show text.
Strengths
What Hanaso Talk Provides
Two-way translation across ten languages
Freely combine any two of Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and French.
Translations you can show or play aloud
Translation results appear in large text and can be read aloud in the target language using your device's built-in voice. You can also type, edit, and explicitly retranslate the source text.
Privacy-conscious design
In standard mode, speech recognition runs on the device and only recognized text is sent to the server. Read-aloud uses the device's built-in text-to-speech, so translations are not sent to an external TTS service. High-accuracy mode runs only when explicitly selected, and audio is never stored permanently.
