1. Simul Mode (Simultaneous Translation)

This mode enables true two-way simultaneous translation. Each participant wears one earbud, allowing for natural, continuous conversation. Translation occurs in as little as 0.5 seconds.

• Share one earbud with your conversation partner.
• Both individuals can speak non-stop, and the translation will be played in the other person's ear.
• Ideal for face-to-face conversations where fluid communication is essential.

2. Touch Mode

For environments where controlled speaking is preferred, or in noisy settings. Tap the earbud to activate voice pickup.

• Each person wears an earbud.
• Tap the force sensor on your earbud to begin speaking.
• Tap again to end your speech and initiate translation.
• This mode functions like a walkie-talkie, ensuring clarity in challenging audio environments.

3. Speaker Mode

This mode is suitable for situations where only one person needs to wear an earbud, and the other person can listen via the smartphone's speaker.

• One person wears an earbud.
• The other person speaks into the smartphone's microphone, and the translation is played through the earbud.
• Alternatively, the person wearing the earbud speaks, and the translation is played through the smartphone's speaker for the other party.
• Useful for quick interactions or when sharing earbuds is not feasible.

4. Group Chat Mode

Facilitates multi-person, multi-language communication in a group setting.

• Supports up to 40 people speaking 40 different languages in the same chat group.
• Participants can join remotely, making it ideal for international meetings or conferences.
