MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/07/08 -- JAJAH, the world's most innovative IP
telecommunications company, today announced the launch of JAJAH Babel, a real-time free phone
translation service that allows anyone in China to call a local number,
speak in English and immediately hear their message back in Chinese
Mandarin. (Local JAJAH access numbers are also available in the U.S.,
UK and Australia.) With thousands of travelers set to visit Beijing
this summer, they now have a simple translation tool accessible at the
touch of a dial, powered by JAJAH.
JAJAH Babel is the latest
breakthrough in JAJAH's mission to remove the barriers to global
communication. No more translation books, no hand gestures, simply dial
a local number, say your message in English and hear it back Chinese.
The service also works in reverse for Chinese speakers who wish to have
a statement translated into English. Bridging a communication gap, any
phrase can be translated and shared with others by passing the handset
or activating the phone's speakerphone function. No other free service
provides such simple real-time translations at the end of a phone.
This is the first real-time translation service to come to market from
JAJAH, with additional language support set for release in the coming
months.
"JAJAH was built to bring down barriers to global communication through
high quality, low-cost calls available from any phone, any network,
anywhere. And now with JAJAH Babel, we are removing the language
barrier and providing a valuable service to anyone traveling to Beijing
this summer," said JAJAH Co-founder Daniel Mattes.
How does JAJAH Babel work? From English to Chinese or in reverse:
-- Dial JAJAH Babel from any phone. U.S. local access number: +1-718-
513-2969
-- Choose which language you want your message translated into (either
English to Chinese or Chinese to English)
-- Say your message and press #
-- You will be able to confirm that your message was properly
understood by the system.
-- The message will automatically be played back in Chinese. If you
wish, simply hand your phone to the other person or put the phone
on loudspeaker so they hear the message.
-- The other person can then record a message in Chinese, following the
steps above, and you will hear their message in English.
This free service is available from any phone, without restrictions.
