One of the great things about traveling overseas is seeing all the great sites, eating different foods and meeting new people. One of the not so great things is when you don’t speak the language. Yes, there are many phrase books out there that look really handy in the book store but once you are in country all kinds of things can go wrong like not being able to pronounce the words and so on.
What Was Wanted:
I wanted something that would make communicating in Russian easier. An Application that would help me learn, have audio examples, translation and be intuitive to use.
Enter HNHSoft’s Russia2Go. This handy little app enables you to quickly communicate in all kinds of situations and even has audio to go with each phrase so you can either learn the correct way to say it or just play the audio for whomever you are trying to communicate with. Or if it’s too noisy you can just show them the screen with the translation in Russia right there.
If you want an even quicker way to get to the words you are looking for there is always the Search feature.
If you find yourself needing to use a certain phrase more often than others you can always add it to the favorites which are accessible from the main menu.
HNHSoft has taken the liberty of grouping common phrases into categories so you can quickly access them.
Beneath every category and accessible from the Left soft key are sub categories.
Pros
- Easy navigation
- Audio Samples
- On screen translation
Cons
- Audio Sample is only female
- Translation is one way
Conclusion
Overall I am very satisfied with HNHSoft’s Russia2Go. If you are planning a trip to Russia then this is a little app you will want to take with you.When a new version come sout I would like to see male and female audio samples and two way translation.
HNHSoft’s Russia2Go is available for $24.99 and with the discount code SHADOWOPEN you can get 20% off. The code is only good until the end of today (15FEB2008) so get your copy today.
