Product Description

Where travel guides end, the LT12 begins! This talking translator is small enough to fit in your pocket, and contains 8,400 travel-related phrases in 12 different languages. Eight conversational categories allow you to find your desired phrase quickly, and the LT12 both speaks and displays the translated phrase. You also have the ability to save frequently used phrases. This pocket translator will give you confidence when communicating in a foreign language.

This handheld translator is the modern answer to paper dictionaries. This device cross-translates 12 international languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Turkish, Dutch, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, and Swedish.

This device contains over 8,400 travel related phrases and keeps them organized in categories so you can find them quickly and easily. Each category has its own button so you can easily find your desired phrase. The LT12 categories are General Speech, Emergency, Entertainment, Sightseeing, Direction, Restaurants, Transport, and Hotel & Accommodation. If you find yourself repeatedly using the same phrases, you can add them to a list of frequently used sentences. Recalling saved phrases is just as easy - simply press a button to display your customized list! The LT12 also has a backlit screen, allowing you to use it at night and in dimly-lit rooms.

Since this device speaks the phrases aloud, you can be sure you are pronouncing foreign words correctly, making for a more enjoyable holiday or business trip. If you aren't sure of the pronunciation of a specific phrase, the LT12 can help! The LCD screen displays the translated phrase while the built-in speaker pronounces it for you. The LT12 also comes with an earphone so you can hear clearly in busy areas or avoid disturbing others while in quiet situations.

Phrase only machine February 5, 2007
This is a well designed easy to operate translator. It will cover 95% of what you need being a tourist. The only flaw I see in this machine is not being able to enter your own sentences, but that might be a flaw in all machines, so I would bring a dictionary for those times. Good voice quality and volume. I will bring a set of watch batteries with me on the trip as I don't know about the availability of those batteries in Europe.

I purchased this translator as a gift for my mother's four week tour of Europe. Over all, she was very happy with the item. Occasionally, she said there were times when she couldn't find how to say a particular phrase, but for the most part, she was thrilled that this one device served her quite efficiently through all of the countries she traveled. She especially liked the verbal pronunciation, the pre-grouped categories of phrases, its small size, & its included alarm clock which allowed her to cut back on bringing one more item. As for me, I certainly appreciated how reasonably priced it was for how well it served my mother on her trip. You can absolutely find better translators but doing so on par of the cost per value of this translator would be difficult. It's a great item for the price.

Fun with language May 2, 2008
By Tigger
This translator is a lot of fun.You can actually hear what it is supposed to sound like so I can say it kind of properly. The only thing
I have a problem with is there is no way to type in any words. You can only get the phrases that are programmed in it. So if someone answers me, I have no idea what they are saying. I just need to carry a dictionary or phrase book with it. I'm excited about using it in my travels..Japan this year and Europe next year. This is fun!

Avoid
This unit has minimal functional use, is difficult to navigate, and has no way to search for or type in the words you may want to translate. I found it useless.
