Sabertooth VLT450 Smart Voice Language Translator Single Ear Bud with Direct Talk Software to Complete Seamless Voice Language Translation, Translates up to 60 Languages, Compatible with IOS & Android

Couldn't find the app Google, downloaded the old version off of an APK, speech function didn't work, didn't translate in real time and it barely functioned as a headphone.

I got the smaller earbud version because I felt its shorter battery on time would be offset by the highly portable recharge pocket pack. I started to get the larger one for its longer "on" time, but then once it runs out, I'd need to carry my own recharge battery.Some might see that as the better choice. But I can always carry a battery pack to recharge the small battery pack that store the earbud, if that make sense. So I think the earbud is better. And even with its charger case, it so really very tiny - about half the size of my car's remote control.Looking back, I have to say I find the ad for this device is a bit confusing. If you are expecting to hear a speaker in one language instantly translated in real time into your ear, either I can't figure out how to make that work, or else it isn't exactly what happens.So far, I've found that the way it works is to let it hear a speaker say something, then wait for the translation into my ear after clicking the app on my phone to perform the translation. Very useful, no argument, but not quite what I thought it might do. And if I am wrong, someone tell me. But it does slow down the conversation quite a bit.For sure, the app on your smartphone is an absolute necessity for this to work. As far as I can tell, that also means for group chats and other features to work, you must use their app apparently along with others. Understand there is a lot this can do, and I'm still trying to figure it all out before I go abroad and spend a few days not able to put it to any real good use.I does appear you can use this on any regular phone call. Just understand it doesn't actually translate word for word in real time. You can't have someone talk on and on, and hear the stream of what they are saying as they say it. You have to capture some of it, then play that back translated.However, it is still very impressive, and I think it will be extremely useful traveling. More so if you are learning a particular language or are partly familiar with it, and then use this to make sure you understood everything correctly. But it does then add a delay to the conversation while you play the translation.Maybe one day a device will exist that literally takes what someone is saying in one language while you hear it instantly in another, somewhat like on Star Trek. Until then, this is quite useful. Just not exactly what I thought the ad had me thinking it would do. I still give it five stars. And I'd welcome any input from others who have figured this out completely. I'm still working on it.

I travel a lot for work and pleasure. With over 35 countries under my belt, I know the challenges that come with certain locations when you don't speak the language. For a while, I have used google translator but its use case is quite limited during a 1-1 conversation. Hence when I came across the Sabertooth smart voice language translator, I was excited to order them. The device came well packed with all the accessories you need to get going. The case is a bit flimsy and the earbuds feel a bit light. I think they could have been built a bit more sturdy given the price point. Nonetheless, if it works well, then it's a great tool. The earbuds come with a case and is compatible with Bluetooth 5.0 and its compact size (1.5 x 0.87 x 2.13 inches) and lightweight (0.06) makes it easy to carry around. The standby time of 120 hours is also a big plus.While I have not traveled recently, I do speak multiple languages and was able to test it. In my testing, it accurately translated Hindi to English and vice versa. The speakers voice was clear and the translation was almost real time. However, I am not sure how it would work if the cell connection is poor. There are features for offline use as well. The highlight of this device is its broadcast mode which allows the moderator to speak to a group of users each in their own foreign language. The screen layout is user-friendly with two icons, one for the moderator to create a broadcast meeting and the second for users to join a broadcast meeting. The process of creating a broadcast meeting is straightforward, just type in the requested information and tap create to start the translation. However, the language tutor was utterly disappointing. There was a huge lag and I couldn't make out some of the spoken words as the cut out. This device is quite interesting as it has lots of use cases. However, it will take some more time and field testing to fully test all the functions. For now, I would give this device a 4-star rating. It is a good device but could be improved with the language tutor being optimized. More testing is needed to fully understand its performance especially in the field where accents might bring about a different outcome. I will update the review as I learn more.

I don't use it as much as I thought I would, still getting the hang of it, but it's nice and fits comfortable in your ear.

Received for Christmas. Two page instruction booklet - very vague. “Indicator lights” different colors in book vs on the unit(s). I.e. charging lights green = 75% yellow-50% red -25% (my light is white solid) . Ear piece instructions press power button (no power button indicated in instruction book. So far I have not been able to find more extensive or clearer instructions online. Probably sending back.
