LongTalk2: Conversation helper for multi-languages

Abstract

© 2016 IEEE. Even though Thailand has been the most attractive destination in South East Asia for tourists, Thai people still cannot communicate well with foreigners. However, learning a new language for any people would not be easy and it is a time consuming and costly process. To support both Thai and foreigners to communicate proficiently, LongTalk application running on Android mobile phones has been developed. The current version includes six languages: Thai, English, Khmer, Burmese, Chinese and Japanese. The application covers seven different situations faced by most people when travelling to other countries. The seven situations are shopping, food ordering, daily transportation, asking directions, health matters, numbering and survival questions. All sentences will be displayed and spoken in all six languages in the native pronunciation. We also provide tutorials to practice those sentences.
