Speeek is a voice-enabled electronic dictionary application for the iPhone, which has just been released by Softbank in Japan that is capable of translating Japanese into English or Chinese.
The application employs voice recognition technology and is able to translate up to 1,500 spoken phrases that mostly centered on travel/tourist situations and basic communication.
This application is useful for the Japanese to travel to an English or Chinese-speaking country. Just speak those Japanese words out, the application will then translate it into into English or Chinese.
The application may also be useful for English speakers as a study aid to help them learn the Japanese language. For only 1,800 yen ($20 USD), it is now available and can be purchased here.
