Picture a buyer from abroad walking into a showroom. Your sales rep knows the product, the buyer knows what they want, and neither speaks the other's language. Ten minutes of gestures and phone typing later, nobody has learned much.
An AI language translator is made for that situation. It listens to one person, translates the speech, and plays it to the other person in their own language. Here is how the YingMi J-A1 does it, and what you need to have ready.
A handheld terminal, a headset and an internet connection
The J-A1 is a handheld terminal with a 6.3-inch touchscreen. You pick the two languages on the screen, from the 73 it supports, and then you simply talk.
The built-in microphone is rated to pick up a voice from about 10 meters away in suitable conditions, so a host doesn't have to hold the device to their mouth. The speech goes to an online translation service, and the translation comes back as audio for the listener.
Why the listener gets their own headset
The translation can play out loud, but a headset changes how the conversation feels. It keeps the translation private, and it is easier to hear in a busy room.
Each headset weighs 13 g, so it is comfortable enough to wear through a long reception, and a charge lasts about 15 hours. Headsets are bought individually, and you can pair as many as you need with one terminal. A one-to-one chat needs one. A reception for a dozen overseas guests needs a dozen, all paired to the same device.
If you have many headsets, the optional 30-slot and 50-slot charging cases keep them stored and charged together.
Before the guests arrive
The J-A1 uses online translation services, so the first thing to check is the connection. Test the Wi-Fi or mobile signal at the venue, particularly at trade shows, where networks tend to be crowded.
Then charge the terminal, which runs about 15 hours, pair the headsets, and choose the languages. Run one test sentence with a colleague before the visitors walk in. It takes a minute, and it tells you whether everything is working.
Hotels, showrooms and trade show booths
The J-A1 is meant for overseas travel, where it helps with hotels and local service providers, and for international business visits and receptions. It also suits trade show booths and multilingual meetings.
If your work uses specialized terms, YingMi can configure the J-A1 with vocabulary for your industry or region as part of its customization service. The J-A1 comes with a 2-year warranty, and if you have a specific scenario or quantity in mind, you can send the details through the inquiry page.
