Stories From the People Who Use It

Hotel staff, public health officers, students, and travelers across Thailand share how Pocketalk changes the way they communicate.

Staff at Samut Sakhon Provincial Public Health Office using Pocketalk to communicate with foreign nationals
Public Health / Government

Samut Sakhon Provincial Public Health Office

Received a Pocketalk translator on December 25, 2021 — during the shrimp market cluster outbreak
"Pocketalk is incredibly easy to use—just press, hold, and speak. It allows us to communicate directly with foreign nationals quickly and clearly. Before, these conversations were difficult and time-consuming. We never imagined a tool like this would exist."

Recent example: was a pregnant Myanmar woman who arrived seeking medical help. With Pocketalk, staff immediately understood her needs and directed her to the right hospital—saving valuable time when every minute mattered.

"Today, Pocketalk is used every day to help healthcare workers communicate with foreign nationals, making care faster, easier, and more accessible despite language barriers."

Khun B, Novotel Hotel Manager

Front desk, promotions, and seminars
"We think Pocketalk is useful because it improves how we communicate in many situations. It supports 85 languages, so it helps across our work — right down to the front desk, whenever we have guests who don't speak English or Thai."

Where it's used: Front desk, promotional presentations, and seminars and meetings.

Most-used feature: Hands-free translation during meetings, and the subtitle feature for video conference calls.

Why Pocketalk: "We trust the brand, and the device comes from a Japanese company that fully supports us."

School trip to Korea, and daily homework practice
"Pocketalk is great for travel and learning too. I used it on a school trip to Korea, and it made talking with Korean people easy. I also use it for homework — translating with the camera feature and practicing pronunciation on my own. My teacher said my pronunciation sounds like a native speaker. If anyone needs a translator or a pronunciation tool, I recommend Pocketalk — it's useful for both travel and study, and makes everyday life easier."

Thung Maha Mek School for the Deaf

A communication tool between deaf students and teachers

Pocketalk is used at Thung Maha Mek School for the Deaf, giving deaf students a tool to communicate directly with their teachers.

Teachers noticed that young children are naturally expressive, but as they reach their teenage years, many become shy and hesitant to speak. Pocketalk's pronunciation practice feature changed that — because students can practice alone, at their own pace, without feeling watched. Using the feature to sound out simple words like "one, two, three," students who might once have said "hneung, awng, aam" can now build their pronunciation with confidence, one attempt at a time.

How Sentio Replaced the Interpreter Booth

Traditional soundproof interpreter booths at an international exhibition

Traditional Interpreter Booths Were Expensive and Space-Hungry

Large international exhibitions have long relied on soundproof interpreter booths and specialized wireless receivers to serve multilingual audiences — a setup that's costly to install, limited in capacity, and takes up valuable floor space that could otherwise be used for exhibits and attendees.

Event attendees scanning a QR code to access live translation

One QR Code Replaced the Entire Booth Setup

At KOREA MICE EXPO 2025, organizers deployed Pocketalk Sentio to provide real-time AI simultaneous translation. Instead of booths and receivers, participants simply scanned a QR code on their own smartphone, tablet, or laptop to read or listen to the translated content in their own language — no app, no hardware rental, no dedicated technical crew.
