Express yourself in your own words, even while traveling. The other person doesn’t need the app. Translation chat starts with a QR code. LingoOasis is a face-to-face translation chat app that lets you converse with people you meet while traveling abroad using your own smartphones. You type in English, and the other person types in their own language. Since messages are translated before being sent, you can type what you want to say in your own words—even when it’s difficult to construct sentences in a foreign language. ■ Ideal for these travel situations ・When you want to ask about hotel amenities or check-out procedures ・When you want to ask about the menu or place an order at a restaurant ・When shopping, to check product sizes or colors ・When you want to enjoy a longer conversation with someone you met while traveling ■ The other person doesn’t need to install the app Simply have the other person scan the QR code displayed on your app, and they can join via their smartphone’s browser. There’s no need to ask them to install the app, so you can start chatting right away. Since both of you can type on your own smartphones, there’s no need to pass a single phone back and forth during the conversation. ■ No user registration required No need to create an account or register an email address. The host can join via the app, and the other person can join via a browser. ■ Choose a connection method based on your internet environment When both parties have internet access, you can connect online via the QR code. If you don’t have internet access, you can manually switch to a connection method using local Wi-Fi or tethering. In this case, connect the other person’s smartphone to the same network before scanning the chat QR code. *Local connections require Wi-Fi or tethering settings. Available connection methods vary depending on the device and network environment. ■ Translation occurs on the device with the app installed Translation processing takes place on the host’s smartphone. If you download the necessary language models in advance, you can translate even without an internet connection. *For languages you’re using for the first time, an internet connection may be required to download the language models. Please verify that the app works with your desired language before traveling. ■ View the Translation and Original Text Side by Side The chat screen displays both the translated text and the original text. If the message isn’t clear, you can continue the conversation by shortening the sentence or rephrasing it. ■ Supported Languages Choose from 13 languages: Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Russian, and Hindi. ■ Key Features ・One-on-one interactive translation chat ・Invite guests via QR code ・Guests can join using only a browser ・Switch between online and local connections ・Offline translation using the device’s built-in translation engine ・Display of both the translated text and the original text ・Screen display tailored to the selected language Don’t give up on a conversation just because you can’t communicate.
