Mini Portable Translators

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'Zero' is an Intelligent Translator That Enables a Four-Way Conversation

— June 25, 2019 — Tech
'Zero' is a consumer-focused mini portable translator that helps to minimize language barriers between up to four individuals. The smart translator is ideal for business meetings, interviews, and travel.

The small translator is 4cm x 1.5cm x 7mm and includes an accompanying credit card-sized case to allow for easy transportation. Zero functions with your smartphone through the charging port and draws battery from the phone. The mini portable translator automatically knows who is speaking and allows a text to appear on both sides of the screen. This ensures each individual can see the translation to check for accuracy and avoid miscommunication. Through advanced voice recognition technology, Zero is able to understand speech in moderately noisy environments.

This impressive device is compatible with 36 languages and 84 international accounts enabling it to outperform many competitors. Zero is available online for $39 USD.
