NEWS – Learning to speak the native language of the places where you travel is a great prerequisite for a trip, but it’s not exactly an easy task to accomplish. That’s where technology can really make a difference. The CM Smart Instant Language Translator is a battery-powered handheld device that will let you hold a natural conversation with someone in real-time even if you don’t know their language and they don’t know yours.
The CM Translator supports 6 languages including English, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Korean and Spanish. It’s a standalone device that can be used for 24 hours of continuous use on a charge and has up to 180 days of standby power.
Operation is easy and simple. Just press and hold the button to talk, then just release the button to hear an accurate translation.
If you want one for your next trip, the CM Smart Instant Language Translator is available for $129.99 on Amazon.

I backed this on Indiegogo in June (for about 1/2 the current price). Have not used it yet much. Just yesterday they finally delivered (but no official email notification yet) on the promised update to more languages. I have tested German, it works. Will check out Russian and Finnish next, over 30 languages now (including regional variants of Chinese, Spanish and French). It is neat, but don’t expect perfection. It has the limitations of all voice recognition and net-based AI translation.
Hi Jeff, thanks for sharing first hand info about it.
