Timekettle M2 Language Translator Device - Supports 40 Languages & 93 Accent Online, Voice Translator Earbuds in Real Time, Wireless Translator Device for Travel & Business, Fit for iOS & Android

The set up is easy, the charging case will only accept the proper ear bud and appears to be controlled with magnets. Magnets also hold the charging case closed. This unit charges with a Type C USB connection and is quick to charge.The unit can be used with three different modes: (1) Listening mode to touch speaker button and talk, but the back button has to be used to go back to speak the second language. (2) Touch mode allows two different languages to be spoken on the same screen and is great to use for the practice of another language. (3) Speaker mode, which allows for the native language to be spoken into the phone and the foreign language to be vocalized through the phone's speaker or vice versa. This is the best way to communicate with others if you do not want to give the other person one of the ear buds. That is the one I used most when trying to communicate with people in El Salvador. An added perk is that these can double to listen to music. The sound for music is crisp and delightful.The customer support personnel were responsive to my emails. I have, since the first review I wrote, gave them another chance, not for translation between me and another party but rather to learn the downloaded language. While I have a ways to go to become fluent, I can absolutely see where these will be helpful in this endeavor. There are many different languages to choose from for the language packs or you could use the program through the internet for more language options. The choice is yours to make.When the devices are purchased they come with 30 fish, which are like money to download offline language packs. The language packs are around $5.00 each so the fish card really helps. While the device does work better with an internet connection the download language packs would be good for language practice in places with sketchy internet. I simply put English as my input language and presto the words I am saying come through the ear buds in the language I am trying to learn, plus I get the option to hit the replay repeatedly to practice my pronunciation. Or, if I want to see if I have mastered the pronunciation I flip the input language and will hear what I said in other language in my native language through the ear buds to determine if I have mastered that word or string of words. This is a great tool for language barriers and or learning other languagesCons: You must speak slowly and clearly into the microphone on your phone. If you talk too soft the Timekettle app will not pick up your words to translate.I look forward to newer versions of the same.

I bought these earbuds to learn Spanish, to brush up on my Russian and Japanese, however there was 1 extremely important thing that was not included in this product and that plainly stated is "INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO USE". I purchased after doing research on similar items. I thought this would be a great fit however I was sadly mistaken. I appreciate that you can use them as a Bluetooth for calls and music but without instruction on how to use to translate, you'll be completely lost. I tried using the App and I did download the offline content, however I could not find my language list on the App so that I could pick which language I needed to translate. I really would have loved these to work out but was HIGHLY FRUSTRATED AND DISAPPOINTED IN THE LACK OF INSTRUCTIONS. You should not have to go to YouTube to find videos on using the product or similar product so you won't feel like you completely wasted your money. This whole experience has me very disgruntled and I wish I had never wasted my time purchasing. The only good thing to come out of this was that Amazon quickly reimbursed me a refund once I returned this terrible product. If it was okay, for translation I would never know because all the instruction that came with it was simply how to pair it with your phone and how to spend more money on buying offline content but absolutely no instructions on how to use at all. I would not recommend this product to anyone even for the Bluetooth features cause its just not worth it. Get yourself another Bluetooth Earbud set if you only want to make calls and listen to music. Don't waste your time or money on these cause its just not worth the money. DOES NOT PROVIDE CRUCIAL INFORMATION ON USAGE OR ALLOW YOU TO SEE YOUR LANGUAGE LIST ON APP TO CHOOSE WHAT LANGUAGE YOU'D LIKE TO TRANSLATE. SUCKS ALL THE WAY AROUND. RUN TO ANOTHER PRODUCT INSTEAD OF THESE. PLUS THE SIZE OF THE EAR CANAL PLACEMENT CAN NOT BE ADJUSTED FOR SOMEONE SUCH AS MYSELF WHO HAS A NARROW EAR CANAL. THEY ACTUALLY HURT TO USE AFTER ONLY A FEW MINUTES BECAUSE THE INNER EAR PIECE IS HUGE. SHOULD HAVE COME WITH ADJUSTABLE SILICON GELS FOR DIFFERENT SIZED EAR CANALS. JUST TRUST ME......RUN, DON'T DO IT TO YOURSELF AND NOT GET WHAT YOU EXPECTED OR WANTED WITH THIS PRODUCT. NOT WORTH 130.00.
