Hotel staff, public health officers, students, and travelers across Thailand share how Pocketalk changes the way they communicate.
"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."
"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."
An interview with the head of the international clinic's examination room at a public hospital, about her experience using the Pocketalk translator to communicate with foreign patients — including her feedback and the practical benefits she's seen from real use.
"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."
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.
St. Louis Hospital has adopted Pocketalk to communicate with patients — making conversations more comfortable during the wait for a human interpreter to become available.

"Conversation is a heart-to-heart exchange." Pocketalk enabled deep, meaningful conversations in the local language, making trips richer & safer.
Used for daily study. Students practiced pronunciation and vocabulary freely with an AI interpreter, without the fear of making mistakes in front of a teacher.
Reduced staff communication anxiety to near zero while explaining traditional crafts to international shoppers — tripling store sales.
Moved beyond gestures and "yes/no" answers to accurate explanations of ingredients and product benefits, directly improving sales conversions.
A flagship drugstore moved from staff phones and printed phrase cards to instant two-way conversation — tax-free rules and medicine explanations now land accurately, and gift-set requests turn into sales of the store's own brand.
A two-month trial across three restaurants at Toranomon Hills gave staff the confidence to go beyond the basics — sharing the story behind each dish instead of cutting the conversation short.
Improved the accuracy of menu explanations and opened natural, friendly dialogue between staff and international diners.

Front desk staff now give historical tours and local recommendations in guests' native languages.

Instant answers to passenger questions and clear safety guidance for foreign tourists.

Sentio replaced traditional interpreter booths entirely; attendees scanned a QR code to read or listen on their own devices.
Sentio delivered professional-grade AI translation on a formal diplomatic stage.

Sentio allowed the audience to read real-time localized subtitles, significantly boosting engagement.

Asia's largest advertising and marketing event ran three concurrent sessions on QR codes instead of six interpreters — preparation time down to one-tenth, interpretation cost to one-third, and 75 languages open to the audience.

First-aid response speed for international runners increased 3x, easing pressure on emergency medical staff.
Sentio supported complex medical presentations with high-quality AI interpretation, cutting administrative loads.

Twenty-eight countries, and terminology so specialised that earlier machine translation had failed and expert interpreters were near impossible to find. Delegates rated the result better than human interpretation.

ICQ2025 needed interpretation across 11 venues for delegates from 30+ countries, but the budget covered Japanese and English only. Every venue received live translation — with no pre-event preparation at all.

Sentio generated instant, accurate meeting transcripts alongside live translation — used immediately for internal reporting and PR.
With half its staff from overseas, this payment platform uses Pocketalk and Sentio in meetings and daily life alike — earning the Pocketalk Innovation Award for turning diversity into an organisational strength.

Adopted as a standard communication tool to keep complex financial discussions clear across languages.
Real-time translation gives foreign-born students mother-tongue support in class, so no one is left behind.
Sentio cut prep time and admin burden for multilingual academic symposiums.
Harumi Nishi Elementary School faced a rising number of foreign students and a growing load on its teachers. The device became part of daily teaching — and children picked it up themselves for group work and for talking to classmates.
Around 600 international students, some unable to follow Japanese-language lectures. Live translation let them present and ask questions in their own language — and let Japanese classmates hear those perspectives.
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.
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.
Event organizers reported a significant reduction in costs — while still delivering multilingual access to every attendee.
