PSP Talkman - New Import

NCS Product Synopsis
  
©NCSX: Talkman is a piece of translation software which uses a goofy bird named Max as the conversion applet interface. The languages supported are: English, Mandarin Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. The menus may be changed to any of the supported languages and translations may be performed in any direction. For example, English to Mandarin, Mandarin to Japanese, Korean to English, etc.

   To use the software as an English speaking person to converse with a Japanese person, speak in English into the plug-in microphone (included) and Max will translate the dialogue into Japanese and say it to the person you're trying to communicate with. Once Max has spoken, the microphone will pick up the reply from the Japanese speaking person and Max will once again translate the spoken Japanese words into English. In essence, Max is a fairly adept interpreter who can handle 3,000 general phrases such as "Where is the train" but "Show me the way to San Jose" will stump it.

   In addition to the voice recognition/translation application, the Talkman software includes a rudimentary language tutor, a measurement conversion utility, an alarm clock and an note recorder for reciting memos.

   Every copy of the game includes a slim microphone which plugs into the USB port of the PSP. There's a little dial on the left side of the mic which adjusts the audio level (pickup) for voices. Unless someone is speaking very softly, we found that the midrange setting worked well but in crowd situations with loud background noise, the higher audio level was necessary.
