You have never seen anything like it before! Imagine a translator that not only helps facilitate communication with others and translates anything you want, but now teaches you the language too!

Need a fast translation you can't find anywhere else? With the included C-pen Handheld Scanner you can now grab entire texts from wherever you find them û in a book or newspaper, on a prescription, even from a poster on the subway wall û scan it, instantly upload it and get a translation into your chosen language immediately! Using the latest Full Text Translation modules you will now be able to translate even longer texts easily and accurately! You can then even have your text pronounced by the translator or you can try yourself!

If that weren't enough, you have access to a complete dictionary filled with more than 1,055,000 words you can look up instantly if you're having trouble. And don't forget that there's also a section containing thousands of pre-recorded phrases that can be spoken aloud using fluent native-speaker voice narration.

Language Teacher: Opening a book and studying words for hours on end sometimes just won't cut it. But with a little help and a push in the right direction, learning an entire language can be accomplished in no time! The Language Teacher gradually builds up your vocabulary and pronunciation through lessons and quizzes you can take at your own pace. It even shows the percentage of how many lessons you have completed and how well you're doing!

Text Translation: It's like having your own personal private tutor; the Language Teacher section speaks to you using fluent native-language voice narration giving you step by step instructions, quizzes, and pronunciation help so you can start speaking correctly in no time at all! Combining words, pictures, and lessons, you talk into the translator and it tells you if you're pronouncing the words or phrases correctly and then actually shows you how to say them, so you'll learn through speaking and listening at the same time.

Audio PhraseBook: With 14,000 phrases, there's nothing you can't say! Just select a category, press the 'Say' button and the translator will recognize your phrase and give you a full translation which can then be pronounced fluently in that language.
