INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Shenzhen this time last year
The hardware is quite solid
The set-up looks a bit like an oversized AirPods case that snaps together magnetically
The idea is to pull it apart and hand one side to the person you want to talk to.You choose the language via the app and each of you put one
interact with the product, including app-based communication
This bit was designed to help avoid picking up ambient noise.Overall, I was pretty impressed with the experience
But given the ambient noise, a somewhat spotty cellular connection and the fact that my conversation partner insisted on walking around, the
WT2 performed admirably.At present, the translations are somewhat delayed
The earpiece waits for you to finish speaking for a few seconds and then offers the translation in the other ear (as well as yours, to help
you learn the language, apparently)
The company told me that it plans to offer closer to real-time translation around launch
