4.0 out of 5 stars Next best thing to living in France to learn French, December 4, 2002

This review is from: Viavoice Translator 1.0 Prog Pack Eng French Italian German Span (CD-ROM)

I just installed the French translator from the software to my ipaq 3955, using a 128 MB Secure Ditital card on the back.
Installation was very smooth and easy.
The vocal translation quality is so good that the native French would have no problem understanding at all. Now you can easily communicate with the French who refuse to speak English.
The beauty of the software is that you can actually hear the words that you otherwise would be unsure of their pronunciations.
I cannot imagine a better way to sharpen your language skill than this, barring actually going to France for a long time.
