Overall though it feels very fluid and quite freeing. When you wear an earbud in conversation, the english translation is read by an even, smooth women’s voice that is very easy to understand. There is a 1-3 second delay as audio is routed out to the internet and back, and so long sections without an obvious pause to send a snippet can result in a bigger delay. That same approach works well with the WT2 Plus. If you’ve ever had to present to a group with someone handling translation, then you know that it’s immensely helpful to speak at an even pace and pause frequently. Typically that’s been a Product manager or key point of contact that handles translating my questions and insights to a non-english speaking team and their corresponding answers.
Luckily I’ve always been paired with great English speakers. I do not speak Chinese, nor any second language (outside of requesting vegetarian food in a couple languages).
MY EASY TRANSLATOR REVIEW PLUS
I’ve wanted a product like the WT2 Plus since the late ’90s when I started traveling to China to develop products. You’ll want to experiment with each of the modes to see what works best for you or the specific scenario you’ll be in. Speaker Mode is best for scenarios like asking someone for directions quickly, or talking to a group where your outbound speech being translated is the key part. I found the repeated hand-to-ear annoying and quickly moved to Simul Mode which handles bi-directional translation automatically. Timekettle suggests starting with the Touch Mode. In the App, choose which of the three modes you suits your needs Simul, Touch or Speaker Mode. If they still don’t stay put, you can use the included ear hooks to help with stabilization. The earmuffs do not seal off the ear canal which makes locking it in place a little tougher. I had to angle mine down towards the back to find some leverage. If the earbuds don’t fit as securely as you were hoping, try rotating the ear gel (or earmuff as Timekettle calls them). Green means their paired to your phone and ready to use. White LEDS on the earbuds mean they’re being charged from the case. Both earbuds will automatically re-pair any time they are removed from the case. Repeat that process with the guest earbud and hand that to your foreign language conversation partner. Kinda nice that’s all handled in the App without bouncing you out to the settings App. In the screenshot below only the guest one is paired. Back in the App, click on the device tab in the bottom center and you’ll see that earbud show up as WT2-01. It’s the one without the additional line near the glowing white light shown on the left above. Select the host earbud for yourself and remove it from the case. When you’re ready to use the WT2, open the case and let the two halves magnetically connect to each other.

You’ll need to bring your own wall adapter or charging port, but while they’re charging, go ahead and download the WT2 Plus App from your iOS or Android App Store. Close them together fully with a push and connect the cable to charge them up fully. Lift the two halves out and enjoy the magnetic attraction that snaps and holds them together. On opening the box you’ll find each earbud nestled into its own half of the case. The case does triple duty as storage for the earbuds…Įach flash is a 1/4 charge, so 4 rapid flashes is fully charged.
Speaker Mode will translate your speech to the speaker on your phone and allow someone to respond through the phone interface.Simul Mode works without touching and is best in quieter environments and one to one conversations.Touch Mode requires that you touch and hold the side of the earbud while talking.The App/earbud combo supports the following modes… WT2 lets you setup once and then multiple translation methods are available as needed. Other translators, require passing a device back and forth or that all parties download an app to get set up first. WT2 employs what Timekettle calls 1+2 Technology in that it uses 1 App + 2 earbuds.
