Furthermore, the Pocketalk Classic Translator features a 320×240 pixels display screen – which also works as a touch panel – that allows users to easily visualize how to spell a sentence in another language, while also listing both languages (original language and “target translated language”) at the bottom of the screen.
Additionally, the translator also comes equipped with two built-in speakers (located at its very top) that operate at 1.5 Watts, as well as a built-in dual-microphone setup with Noise Cancellation that allows to device to easily identify what languages users are currently speaking in.
Not only that, but after detecting two different voices, the translator’s display screen will also differentiate those same voices in a flawless manner, as it will then highlight each person’s speech in a different color (main user as White and secondary person as Blue).
The translator features an operating temperature that goes between 32°F to 113°F during use and a standby temperature that goes between -4°F to 140°F when users are not actively using the device.
