RIM BlackBerry PlayBook: The first apps
We look at the initial crop of apps — good and bad — to appear in the BlackBerry App World.
iSpeech Translator
The functional iSpeech Translator from iSpeech.org has a simple interface, but it lets you choose between typing in the words or phrase you need to translate and saying it aloud. The translated phrase is printed and spoken with a smooth voice. Currently the app (version 1.0.6) can understand seven spoken languages and read back the translation in 18 languages. The voice translator worked well in a quiet room with the PlayBook's own microphone and when tested with an external handset.
