The new iPhone app, Speeek, is a useful app for anyone planning a trip to Japan. It can recognize 1,500 spoken Japanese phrases and translate them into English or Chinese. The app only covers basic phrases like hello/goodbye or where is the bathroom so you won’t be able to translate conversations or anything. The app costs about $20 in Japan. Some say that the iPhone 3G hasn’t caught on in Japan, but all the various iPhone related magazines and this new Japanese iPhone app shows otherwise. The Speeek iPhone app was designed for Japanese tourist but would make a great tool for Japanese language students.
