Converse - Turn your iPhone into a translation device

@alexmarktl I am guessing the translation is based on Google/Microsoft Cloud Translation API?

@alexmarktl When we can expect Android version? early beta access available?

@alexmarktl Does it work without internet access for countries in which internet is not quite reliable?

@chadwhitaker offline function would make this app even more valuable than it is

@engin_sakli Hi Engin, glad you like it! Thanks for the feedback :)

@joon_kee_park Hi, We use state of the Art Machine Translation technology as everyone else does. However, the iTranslate Converse App creates a huge improvement over all current solutions by these 2 innovations: 1. By using the phone upside down you get much better Mic inputs. 2. The Tap & Hold gesture gives you full control over start & stop, which means way less unintended inputs. In real life situations, especially when dealing with noisy background environments, these 2 innovations are a major step forward for speech translationApps.

@alexmarktl who is your 'state of the Art Machine Translation technology' provider?

@mahringer_a Bringing the microphone and speaker directly into the conversation improves the voice recognition results and the natural flow of conversation. The better mic input therefore allows the App to works in any environment, even when there's background noise or when you speak fast.

@alexmarktl true, but the UI is so hard to figure out. Where to click, where to hold, to many moving parts. It's need to be simpler

@liza__schwartz Hi Liza, glad you like it!

@jeremy_sh I doubt it, trademark registration (and even just claiming you own trademark rights) are directly linked to the products and/or services you provide.... so, unless the shoe company has a product/service related to translation, then these guys should be safe. Same goes for most trademarks, especially if nobody opposes during the registration process. Also, even if the shoe company registered their brand for a translation device but they are not actively using the brand for that purpose then these guys end up having more right over the brand... at least that's my understanding, I might be wrong 😂

@cprins_ Thanks for the info. What is converse just has an app to sell their shoes. Wouldnt it fall under "tech", not translation but still in the realm of internet company.

@jeremy_sh Really doubt it would be an issue, but always best to confirm those details with IP lawyer(s) before investing too much in a specific trademark

@gflandre Hi Guillaume, you definitely should! :)
