Many of you are already familiar with <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15030">Speero Software's Voice Translator</a>. It's a speech recognition-enabled phrasebook that allows the user to speak an English word or phrase into a Pocket PC and then hear its translation in any of twenty languages. Now, <a href="http://www.speereo.com/Products/vtrans.html">Speero</a> has added a new twist to its product by partnering with <a href="http://www.columbustravelguides.com/columbushome.asp">Highbury Columbus Travel Publishing</a>, which produces travel guides.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/adrian/worldtravelguide.jpg" /><br /><br />If you're a Speereo Voice Translator registered user, you'll be able to download electronic Columbus travel guides from the Columbus Web site, giving you just about everything you need for a trip to a foreign country (except the Imodium). I haven't traveled outside of the U.S. for a while (thanks in part to stringent bail constraints), but the next time I do, these are just the kinds of Pocket PC tools I'll want to take along.
