Wearable Language Translation System

Voxtec International (Annapolis, MD) offers the SQUID™ SQ.200 wearable translation system that provides troops with tactical, one-way translation capabilities available in more than 40 languages. The voice-activated, hands-free, eyes-free device is pre-loaded with over 2,000 situational phrases, translated and recorded by professional linguists and categorized for easy access. Users select the desired phrases and language through verbal commands; translated phrases are broadcast on the unit's built-in, weatherproof speaker or through an attached loudspeaker. Users can move custom blocks of phrases into a "favorites" category to be translated in sequence for situations such as roadside checkpoints or crowd control.
