Hi everybody BigBong here and we're back
for another review video
Today, I would like to present something really cool
Something I've always wanted to try
Something we couldn't believe would be possible
a few decades ago
Let me introduce you to the Timekettle W2T Plus Translator Earbuds
You've probably already seen videos of it
with two people naturally speaking in two different languages
Well, I have them in my hand right now
and let's see how it works together
Now, unboxing electronic devices like phones, tablets
laptops, video games is always quite the experience
And I also enjoy watching unboxing videos
which makes me realize that I've never done it on my channel
So a double thank you to Timekettle for this amazing gift
And for the awesome opportunity and here we go!
Actually, let's stop the music for a moment
and enjoy this delicate sound of refine cardboard slowly sliding
Oh it's so soothing, I love it!
Haha don't panic!
That's actually where you'll find
your code to get the VIP customer service
including product support
Then here is the full manual
And here they are
The design is very simple which makes them look cool
And it's actually pretty light
Now, this is the charging box which closes with little magnets
So here, very easy and practical to carry around
You can see that it's available in 40 languages
with 93 accents which is apparently 90% of the world's population
And the company keeps working to add more languages
That's the future, guys!
I actually feel like I'm in a sci-fi movie
Even Timekettle's logo looks futuristic
But it's actually real
Alright, so first of all, let's download the app
I've just logged in
To ensure our quality service, we kindly ask you
to provide the following information
I am a man, born in the 90's
My mother language is Japanese
My native tongue is French
I actually like that they separate the two
What's my purpose?
Let's say "language learning"
Can I choose another?
Yes, so "travel"
My nickname is BigBong
Someone like Richard Simcott who can speak 40 languages
might not need them but for someone like me
what I do when I'm facing a person I can't communicate with
is to use online translators
And if you think about it, it takes a lot of time because
I have to write down what I want to say and
then I have to show it or play it then I have to wait
for the other person to write down the response
So it takes a lot of time and it doesn't really feel like
a human interaction because you're mainly focusing on the phone
And on top of that, you need access to the internet
which you don't necessarily need with the WT2 Plus
We'll get there in a moment
Now, let's turn these babies on and try them!
So basically, I'll be demonstrating 4 modes
The first one is the Simul mode which automatically recognizes
any sentence in your language and translates it to another
I don't really know how this is going to work because
we're supposed to be two and I'm just by myself
I thought of wearing both earbuds at the same time
but then, what I'll be saying will be picked up
by both microphones and this is not what we want
So I'll place the listening one, right next to the microphone
so that you can hear it and then, I'll exchange it
And what's also awesome, especially if you're learning the language
is the fact that everything you say is transcribed
and recorded on your phone
So here we have English and Mandarin Chinese
Let's give it a try
Hello, how are you doing?
Nice to be able to speak with you
Hi, how are you?
Nice to be able to speak with you
It works!
It's cold outside... Winter is coming
It's cold outside and winter is here
Will it rain tomorrow?
The second mode is called the Touch mode
which is a little bit different than the first one because
it only records when you press, when you touch the earbud
For example, when there are a lot of people around speaking
Right now, I'm in my studio, it's pretty quiet
So the Simul mode would be fine
but let's give it a try in another language
And as you can see, you can actually choose the accent
Woah there are so many for Spanish!
So Spanish from Spain, from the US, Mexico
Let's go for Colombia
So again, you have to touch the earbud
Wait for the sound, speak
and then, touch again when you're done
Hello, it's been a long time
Good to see you, how are you?
Hello, it's been a long time
It's good to see you
How are you?
And it plays on both earbuds
Very good, thanks a lot, and you?
Sit down please and let's talk business
All right, thank you very much
and will you please sit down and we'll talk business
Haha it works!
Alright, let me prank the device
and speak with a Spanish accent from Spain
even though I didn't choose that accent
[BigBong repeats the sentence with a Spanish accent from Spain]
All right, thank you very much
and will you please sit down and we'll talk business
It did understand haha
Then we have the speaker mode
In order to use this one, you can only use one earbud
Connect it to your smartphone
Again, the app is available on both iOS and Android
So the person wearing the earbud will be using the Touch mode
And the person using the phone will just need to tap the screen
Alright, let's try this in another language
I have always wanted to speak to you and now, it's possible
I have always wanted to speak to you
And now, it's possible!
Pretty good!
Yeah that's right
But I was fine not speaking to you
The last point I wanted to talk about is the offline mode
So basically, you can download a language package
on your device and use it without the internet
so no wifi or data needed
Currently, the offline mode supports translations
from Chinese to English, French, Japanese
Spanish, Korean and Russian
But the company is working very hard to add more languages
So that's it folks!
A cool device that allows you to speak to almost the entire world
It's perfect for business men and women who travel often
to attend international meetings
Also, I come from a family where my parents speak different languages
I'm lucky to speak both but for those with a similar family
it can be practical to reconnect with your grandparents
your aunts and uncles
They'll probably love trying the device
and of course, it's a great gift idea for people who love traveling
Thank you very much and see you very soon!
Thank you all, bye!
