PCMag.com nominated iSpeech Translator as one of the Ten Best Apps for your PlayBook.
As Jeffrey L. Wilson writes on PCMag.com:
If you fancy learning important phrases from another language, but don’t want to shell out the big bucks for Rosetta Stone, the free iSpeech Translator is just what you need. After selecting your native tongue and the target language, you key in—or speak—a phrase. iSpeech then processes the information and spits out a translation, not only with speed, but also with accuracy. Chinese, Dutch, English, Japanese, Italian, French, Finnish, Russian, and Spanish are just a few of the included languages.
