Let’s a look on this demo video speaking Japanese regarding “please form a single line”.

Panasonic’s Megahonyaku can turn Japanese speech into English, Chinese or Korean in real time. Its name is a combination of the Japanese words from ‘Megaphone’ and ‘Translation’. This device comes with a touch screen that allows you to input text while the megaphone currently can only translate 300 phrases. It’s a major step forward for tech that can break through language barriers.

Some said that this megaphone may also be useful for tour guide.

The ideal customers are Japanese businessmen with clients from abroad.
