We have already gotten used to seeing this application among the 200 most downloaded in the Apple store although it was only available for iPhone. Now comes an almost identical version also for iPad. It is not infallible but can be a good tool to communicate in languages that you do not know completely (or almost). It has a good range of them to translate, including dialects.
There is no doubt that machine translations still have a long way to go to perfection. However, they are already what sophisticated enough to allow a reasonably good understanding between people who cannot communicate in a common language. iTranslate Voice HD, is an application that recognizes your voice and translates it into the language you request from among the 31 available to choose from. However, not all of them work with the voice system, some will require typing. Right now it is in launching offer and it only costs 0,79 in the App Store. So if you think that at some point you may need it, take the opportunity
This application, as we mentioned, has been available on iPhone for some time. However, in order to differentiate them, the iPad version is called "HD" and although the design is very similar in both, it has variations that adapt to the size of the screen of each device. However, clearly, the iPhone version will be more useful on travel, when one is on the go and needs to do one-time use, while it will be much more comfortable to use the iPad in private conversations where the interlocutors can be seated calmly and look at the screen when necessary.
One more thing, iTranslate Voice requires Wi-Fi or 3G connection, and that is something that we must take into account if we want to use it on a trip, especially because if we are not a little careful, the bill can skyrocket.
