What is Vasco Translator E1?
Vasco Translator E1 are earbuds built only for translating conversations in 51 languages. They connect to a phone through the free Vasco Connect app (iOS and Android) or to a Vasco handheld translator; in loudspeaker mode the other person hears the translation from the phone or translator. Paired with a Vasco handheld they gain free lifetime internet for translation and 85 languages, and group conversations can include up to 10 earpieces on a phone.
Cost: Paid (US$389 one-off). Booking: No booking. Works on: Its own device, with the maker’s phone app where one is listed.
Best for: Travellers who want hands-free, two-way translation in their ear, especially if they already own a Vasco handheld
