i used google translate several ways when traveling in Thailand and Turkey earlier this year. The speech method as shown in the video works great, however i really liked using the google translate camera which when you point the phones camera at Thai writing, it converts it to english directly on your screen for me to read. This is really helpful for street signs, menus, product info written on items etc. That combined with google lens really made things fast and easy.
What they don’t tell you is it only works for a year - then more costs to buy more data space. Also the download ‘offline’ packs DO NOT include Thai being Chinese most ‘off line packs’ are Chinese to another language (not Thai) If the device included Thai as an ‘off line pack’ and was not limited to one year in the initial cost (@120 USD ) then it maybe worth the money Another device exactly the same with a different logo is also on the market I suspect made by the same company
That's the most important info. Thanks. The device was also much too complicated with some translations, no one speaks like that. If you order a non sweetened coffee e.g., you probably just say Cappuccino Mai waan krap.
One thing that made the translations complicated was the way the questions were made in English. Simple, short questions would get a much simpler audio translation response.@@guido3771
it works absolutley the same you think this company creatd thier own translation code or just borrowed what already exisists and put in a dvice for morons to buy thier prodct?
Your making me feel homesick Chris, and you are giving me a very homely feeling at the restaurant. Thailand is very amazing place, its a positive energy magnet, once you get hooked you get attracted back each time. The device is amazing, beats google translate since its direct handheld and compact. Great Video Chris. 🥰🥰
Great video! After a few rounds of this demo, I can tell that this app's engine is (likely) completely based on Google Translate's language model infrastructure. Having been involved on many levels of real time translation research, I definitely respect and applaud what they are trying to solve with this app. So call the following constructive commentary, not "hate". Google Translate is to chat GPT 4+ as the original Spiderman TV show is to the current Spiderman marvel movies, This tech will very quickly change and improve, and this is absolutely paradigm shifting. Still, make sure your kids are multilingual. Love this channel!
Thanks so much for sharing this new technology. I’ve ordered 1 for myself and sent the link to 14 friend who travel Internationally. $127 with Discount. I live in Thailand but want for other SEA destinations.
As thai i can say it translate correct about 70-80% and it depend on how u speak. Gee and girl in coffee shop she use written language i think it more friendly for translate. if speak normaly like most other ppl in video it still good even some wrong translate still understand with some context.
With AI, maybe there will be a future where the earbuds can translate in real time to one another... Seamless conversation with little to no lag or delay would be incredible
As mobile networks upgrade the bandwidth for data it’s going to get much quicker. Also a universal translator protocol for mobile phones and air buds will happen.
I'm about to buy this for my trip in October I'll be able to have full conversations with my mother in law !! Thats for showing this man! Glad you showed it before the trip
This is your brother. LOL. It's really a great idea, and someday... with large language (AI) models, we'll have a babelfish. But for now, it's honestly more fun to just go be confused and experience surprises. And man, I miss Thailand and it's wonderful people (and food)!
7 is many in terms of being a millionaire, 40k+ views, pretty sure at least 7 found it helpful, probably even more, but 7 is the magic number to be considered many 😅
SO YOU REALLY BOUGHT WHAT HE SAID AS THE TRUTH ? MOST VLOGGERS ARE PROMOTING THESE THEY GET A FEW BUCKS FROM THE COMPANY FOR SELL THEM. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO POO POO IT.
Thanks. Probably the fairest review of this device that I've seen. Most others showed flawless translations but this showed the flaws which all tech has. An amazing device and I'll definately get myself one.
I am practicing Thai for 4 months now. I guess it’s a great support if it saves the conversations so you can look it up later and check the Thai scripture.
@@richardb6844 I am practicing online, first self-paced but now in a group of three via zoom. I have learnt the grammar regarding sentence structure and the tenses and I can read and write (slowly of course). Main issues is the different tones for the pronunciation and the scripture. But it’s a start and I have to try hard to create my own sentences and to understand a native speaker in a normal pace. Will be a long way but believe me, it’s quite essential when you get an idea about what is written in huge letters in front of your eyes and to have at least a little guess of what the people around you are talking about.
Been using it for a year with Mexican workers + house keeper. It’s been flawless. I take it around the world. Yes there is a subscription fee after a year but for a traveler in a foreign country it’s small change, I highly recommend it!
This is a big improvement from the first ones that came out a few years ago. I'm impressed. This would help here in the U.S. as there are many languages spoken here. I have 3 restaurants I go to that speak a different language in each one. 3 or 4 languages spoken in my Apt. building. This is a handy device.
Thank you for your review, possibly the most valued item to have visiting Thailand or any other non-English speaking country. I love traveling and Thailand would be one of my most visited places since it is so close to Perth Australia.
GREAT GREAT GREAT VIDEO. I was born in US but parents are from Ukraine. I plan on going over there next year and this is something that will help greatly. I speak some Ukrainian and russian but this device will make me feel much better that I can communicate when there. subbed
I got the Rough Guide Thai Phrasebook, and it allowed me to hold conversations from my first holiday of 2 months! Thailand was the first place that most people I met called me clever. That translator would have made everything for me easier except I would still be unable to have a conversation!
Nice to know they have these translators. Like you say, the English translation is not grammatically correct, but you get the idea what the person is saying. I have a translator on my PC laptop, but it would be too bulky to try and carry it around. As other commenters say, in the future these devices will only get better and faster in translating conversations. Take care.
Great job, Christ! "Pad Prik Kang" always is one of my most favorite Thai dishes. Adding chicken meat is a good choice for a healthy Pad Prik Kang. Next time, please try "Pad Prik Kang Moo Krob" (Crispy Pork) as well; it also has a great taste.
Amazing device Chris. Learning Thai intensely for nearly a year now & think it will be another 4-5 years before I can speak & understand the language on a very basic level. Until then, this device will be a great help
Thanks man! Leaving to travel SE Asia soon and don't have enough time to learn the local languages. :)) Will definetely buy this device after seeing this
Hi khun Cris, Hope you are well. just wanted to say that I received my board of directors shirt two weeks ago and that I love it makmak, Hope to catch up at a meetup next year once I move over to my forever home. take care na.
Thanks cris for demonstrating the fluentalk mini,I have just received one I have not fully tried it yet as I don't speak Thai it will be very useful to me cheers
California Native here. Lived in Mendocino County and had my own farm. Will be moving to Thailand soon. Hopefully they keep it legal. Keep us updated. Thanks.
I think a universal translator protocol should be standardised for all mobile networks because technology like this has massive implications for humanity if we can all talk without the language barrier. Plus the business applications are massive.
That's just totally awesome! Google translate worked for me in a few countries, but this is definitely a step up....close to a "42" I'd say...similar to Google translate, if you keep the language simple, slow, and deliberate, it works great.
That one girl wearing the striped sweater and short black skirt that you spoke to was really cute. Beautiful in fact. With that, you proved how this device can help a guy to meet women! In a foreign country! 👍😎
I was disappointed a few days ago when I landed in Thailand. No line of Tuk Tuks and no Leo. Not to worry, I survived, and now I'm refreshed. Tasty brew.
Great tool. It can really help in enhancing anyone’s travel experience in a foreign country. Well done. It might also be a life saver. I’m Asian American born in the Philippines. We probably don’t need this as much with English speaking foreigners because English is the second language of the country. But it’s always better to have it handy.
Great review Chris. I actually learned a lot of Thai coming out of the exchanges. This is big upgrade from Google translate and previous devices. You do a great job and always enjoyable to see your videos and content. Thank you ขอบคุณมากครับ
Good video Chris 👍🏻 The T1 Mini FluenTalk device looks better to use. I believe you need to speak simple English for the device to work better. Plan to get one soon. Cheers 🍻
Great videos. I have lived in Bkk and Pattaya and I miss it everyday. You need to try an old Thai restaurant named Suda, it's an old Thai style restaurant that was started back around 1945. It's very close to the BTS Asok Station, the restaurant is just inside Soi 14 on the right hand side off Sukhumvit. Be aware it can get crazy busy. You will love it! It's my favorite restaurant in Bkk.
There is a few different version you can buy, some do have offline mode for Thai , others you need to be online all the time via sim or hotspot from your phone . Offline option is important. Also I have one device that uses multiple sources to translate from google , Microsoft and a couple other services. I find having a dedicated device is better than using a app as it’s ready to go and you don’t need to fiddle with getting your phone out , find and start using the app
You can do this for free with Google translator in conversation mode on your phone. You should do another video where you compare both.
Det lyder super, det vil jeg tjekke ud, tak
Also the apple translate app if you have an iPhone
@@Rayver09 The Apple app is much better. Thanks 🙏
Not if you don't have wifi or a signal
yes i would love to see a side by side real world comparison!!

You''re a really nice guy Chris, thanks for your videos.

It's 12$ USD to renew the sim card for 1 year.
Hardly breaking the bank of anyone who travels.🙄
He mentioned that at the 48 seconds time stamp, you could have figured it out when he first started the video.
One thing that made the translations complicated was the way the questions were made in English. Simple, short questions would get a much simpler audio translation response.@@guido3771
0:50 He stated everything here to spare you from having to compose a brief essay.
Your not shy , good one Chris. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏It's 530am and I'm dreaming about Thailand.
Would love to see a side by side with this vs Google Translate conversation mode.
works on the same information. Just save money and use google translate on your phone.
google translate is free and I love free !!! Thanks for the tip!
it works absolutley the same you think this company creatd thier own translation code or just borrowed what already exisists and put in a dvice for morons to buy thier prodct?
YEAH BUT THEN HE DOES MAKE ANY MONEY OFF OF SELLING YOU ONE ? L.O.L. @@silentwalker-ns9cy
THIS ONE IS JACKED UP JUST CHECK THE BAD REVIEWS. THEY ARE THE ONES THAT REALLY MATTER MOST. @@asian_raisin

@hanna1645xpyLike Chinese written ?
Google Translate is a universe behind AI like DeepL.
It WAY better than Google according to my thai friends who have played around with this device
Thanks so much for sharing this new technology. I’ve ordered 1 for myself and sent the link to 14 friend who travel Internationally. $127 with Discount. I live in Thailand but want for other SEA destinations.
@@garyross7644 Where did you get the discount? I want to buy one for $127

Get that brainchip upgrade and it's even more convenient than ever lol
@@Corteum If you're dumb enough to get that chip, then you deserve what is coming to you.

I'm about to buy this for my trip in October I'll be able to have full conversations with my mother in law !! Thats for showing this man! Glad you showed it before the trip
You're going to regret that! haha
I use a free app that is just as good.
how did the trip go with it?
Use Google Translate in Conversation Mode, it's free.
I love this ! I am looking for translation device for my husband .. BTW I love your channel ❤
My husband and I love watching your videos.
We are planning a trip to Thailand next Christmas with our two boys. We can’t wait! ❤
Welcome to Thailand ❤❤❤.
Did you go to Thailand?
This is your brother. LOL. It's really a great idea, and someday... with large language (AI) models, we'll have a babelfish. But for now, it's honestly more fun to just go be confused and experience surprises. And man, I miss Thailand and it's wonderful people (and food)!
The take a picture to translate menu's and signs sold me. Just ordered one
I'm fairly certain this video has helped many travelers. Also, that joy on people's faces when you speak their native tongue is priceless.
How could this video helped so many people when he just released this video ?
7 is many in terms of being a millionaire, 40k+ views, pretty sure at least 7 found it helpful, probably even more, but 7 is the magic number to be considered many 😅
🤣🤣🤣
SO YOU REALLY BOUGHT WHAT HE SAID AS THE TRUTH ? MOST VLOGGERS ARE PROMOTING THESE THEY GET A FEW BUCKS FROM THE COMPANY FOR SELL THEM. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO POO POO IT.
He's not speaking their native tongue, it's being translated and it's also a female voice.
Thanks. Probably the fairest review of this device that I've seen. Most others showed flawless translations but this showed the flaws which all tech has. An amazing device and I'll definately get myself one.
Honest review. 👍
I am practicing Thai for 4 months now. I guess it’s a great support if it saves the conversations so you can look it up later and check the Thai scripture.
how far have you progressed in 4 months how difficult is it.

Very interesting. Nice to see people are friendly and engaging.
New to the channel, wanted you to know that you have quickly become my favorite travel guide of Thailand.
Great video ,I been subscribed but this first comment .
Will be in Thailand in February and planning Samui thanks to Your videos too .
Very good. Finally one can come to the heart of the local people
Been using it for a year with Mexican workers + house keeper. It’s been flawless. I take it around the world. Yes there is a subscription fee after a year but for a traveler in a foreign country it’s small change, I highly recommend it!
Thanks you’re doing a fantastic work it’s a great service to
Many Thai lovers hoping to meet you in
Thailand
I love this guy so much ❤ I hope he just keeps loving life and making content
OMG! Thx for sharing this! This would be great to use in more rural areas as long as there is phone service.
This is a big improvement from the first ones that came out a few years ago.

I have 3 restaurants I go to that speak a different language in each one. 3 or 4 languages spoken in my Apt. building.

The camera mode has unlocked Thai menus for me. I was hoping you could've showed the camera mode.
Absolutely love that device.

I used this to order some street food and instead got a happy ending offer 😂
Did you order the tacos or offer a hotdog ? 😮😊
Still a pretty good result 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
thats a win win...
that comes with every order
WOW!! Very cool Translator Chris. 👍😊
You’re really putting into the test lol. I’ll have to check this out. Thanks for the videos and may there be more great adventures ahead for you 👍🏾.

Just found your channel, really enjoyed this as I frequently need to translate in real time Chinese to English.
G is absolutely adoreable. Adam is a lucky man!
G got a mustache
Finally! Happy to see that you're able to communicate with Pad Kra Pao Lady !!!
Great job, Christ!
"Pad Prik Kang" always is one of my most favorite Thai dishes.
Adding chicken meat is a good choice for a healthy Pad Prik Kang.
Next time, please try "Pad Prik Kang Moo Krob" (Crispy Pork) as well;
it also has a great taste.
I have been in Thailand over 3 years, I first had Pad Prik 2 months ago,, I agree, has become one of my favorite dishes also
Chris is Jewish. Why would you recommend crispy pork to him? It's an insult and disrespect to recommend pork to a Jewish person.
Amazing device Chris. Learning Thai intensely for nearly a year now & think it will be another 4-5 years before I can speak & understand the language on a very basic level. Until then, this device will be a great help
Thanks so much for the video. Chris we are looking at buying one. Cheers buddy keep up the great work cheers 🤟🙏🍻😎🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

I need on of those! Thank you for this terrific video!
I just ordered a T1 translator. Thanks for the information and your discount code! Looking forward to getting it.
I usually use Google translate but i do like this little device. Great video thanks for showing it in action 😁
And Google Translate has offline translations for Thai.
Thanks for the great video!!! Your videos are awesome and always informative.
California Native here. Lived in Mendocino County and had my own farm. Will be moving to Thailand soon. Hopefully they keep it legal. Keep us updated. Thanks.
You will regret leaving Mendocino, come and enjoy as a tourist frequently instead
It's totally clear and easy to understand for Thai people. confirm
Great videos. Love your attitude and energy. Great channel.
You're a natural at this RUclips thang 😁😁
The translation is so impressive
I got to get one of those Chris! Bam Bam in Pattaya previewed this device too! As alway's stay cool,kind and generous!
Retired working for you, the advice he gave is very helpful but I believe is more for wealthy people.
Fantastic product, really love it and may purchase when I finally get to Thailand. Superb video as always 😊
perfect chris, hey thanks for the vid. a real game changer
I think this device is very useful gadgets for traveling.
I got to get me 1 of these. Great Video Chris. 😎👍
This little tool looks very practical,
I think a universal translator protocol should be standardised for all mobile networks because technology like this has massive implications for humanity if we can all talk without the language barrier. Plus the business applications are massive.
Moving forward Eh? From Canada to บางกอก and from Awkward to Moonstone, Chris you are not standing still. That's a sure sign of a winner!
Thanks Bro.think ill stick with my free google translation.Still works great for picking up the Ladies here in Bangkok
Just need your cash app for that 😬
I have an older model of another brand and going to order this one thanks for the product testing helps alot.
Omg love the channel.. your voice and your son is hilarious and identical
I seen Johnny's talk about this weeks ago I bought it on Amazon save 10% I am in Thailand right now and I love it
Adding this to my list of things to bring to Thailand!😀
So cool! Got to pick 1 up! Thanks Chris 😁🤙🏼
That's just totally awesome! Google translate worked for me in a few countries, but this is definitely a step up....close to a "42" I'd say...similar to Google translate, if you keep the language simple, slow, and deliberate, it works great.
Great field tests for sure! 👍🏾
I need to get one of these for when I go to Thailand in December. Thanks dude.
Thanks this is the best real world example of this device I have ever seen.
Thanks again Chris. I give you two I's. Informative and Interesting.
Insane devices! priceless content! 💪👑💰✈
That one girl wearing the striped sweater and short black skirt that you spoke to was really cute. Beautiful in fact. With that, you proved how this device can help a guy to meet women! In a foreign country! 👍😎
I bought one a few days ago, my fiancé is from Thailand and she said it’s pretty accurate, now I will be able to communicate with her family.
Needs a few years and iterations, but the dream is real.
Enjoyed the demo, pretty cool... new sub...
I was disappointed a few days ago when I landed in Thailand. No line of Tuk Tuks and no Leo. Not to worry, I survived, and now I'm refreshed. Tasty brew.
Thanks Bro, I just ordered one.
Great tool. It can really help in enhancing anyone’s travel experience in a foreign country. Well done. It might also be a life saver. I’m Asian American born

WOW THAT THING ,REALY WORK!!! COOL
Thanks for the translation device.
Great video, thanks. Awesome device should make things way smoother. Thanks.
Wow.. good job 👍👍👍
Thank you excellent review!
Don’t forget that Thai language also consists of many different dialects throughout different part of Thailand.
true
IT DOES REALLY MATTER. IT DOESN'T WORK VERY WELL ANYWAY.
Great videos. I have lived in Bkk and Pattaya and I miss it everyday. You need to try an old Thai restaurant named Suda, it's an old Thai style restaurant that was started back around 1945. It's very close to the BTS Asok Station, the restaurant is just inside Soi 14 on the right hand side off Sukhumvit. Be aware it can get crazy busy. You will love it! It's my favorite restaurant in Bkk.
awesome chris, i wana buy 1 of these
Korean Translation was very accurate. impressive

I think more simple short conversation back and forth would make it flow better.
