With the improvement of the national economy and people's living standards, the frequency of communication with foreigners in daily work and life is also increasing. At this time, language is always the first obstacle. Fortunately, with the development of science and technology, we have a very convenient way to solve the language problems, such as a portable AI translator, which can easily solve most of the language problems.

When it comes to AI translation, iFLYTEK, as the pioneer of this product category, is an unavoidable name. They have 23 years of technical accumulation in AI voice, and their translators are officially designated products for major events such as the World Expo, Canton Fair and World Intelligence Congress, as well as the official exclusive supplier of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, so from the perspective of technology and experience. IFLYTEK's translation machine is very trustworthy in the consumer market.

As it happens, on August 5, Ke Daxunfei officially launched its latest generation of iFLYTEK translator 4.0, which defines the five standards of AI translators: "hear clearly, understand, translate correctly, pronounce beautifully and naturally enough". Now that CTOnews.com has got the iFLYTEK translator 4. 0, let's take a look at this product.

First, the exterior design. Let's first take a look at the exterior design of iFLYTEK translator 4.0. Compared with the previous generation of products, iFLYTEK translator 4.0 has a significant change in appearance, the front of the body uses full-touch screen virtual keys instead of physical keys, the overall shape is simple and advanced.

Looking at the front of the product, as you can see, it is covered by a 5.05-inch professional HD translation screen, and the edge of the glass has a subtle 2.5D Radian, making the screen seem to float slightly above the surface of the shell.

After lighting the screen, you can see that the frame on the left and right sides of the screen is still relatively narrow, slightly wider up and down, and the overall screen share is very high. The screen display area ratio is 22:9, which is convenient for one-handed holding operation. The reading width of 5cm is comfortable, and it is convenient to browse the translation quickly. At the same time, it accords with the interactive logic of face-to-face dialogue of the translator.

IFLYTEK translator 4.0 has not only made a new upgrade in appearance, but also made many new changes in design. For example, the top of the translator and the speaker and microphone module have made a step-by-step design, which feels that the loudspeaker module is set in the shell, while the bottom of the fuselage is slightly curved.

On the back of the fuselage, iFLYTEK translator 4.0 uses the in-mold film injection molding process on the back shell, so that the back presents a frosted resin texture, and there will be different light and shadow changes under different light irradiation.

The back of iFLYTEK translator 4.0 is relatively simple and refreshing, with only a round non-protruding camera and the Logo logo of iFLYTEK.

A microphone and SIM card slot can be seen on the left side of the body, while the volume button and power button and microphone can be seen on the right side. The bottom of the fuselage is a USB Type-C slot and a small rope hole.

IFLYTEK translator 4.0 is mainly made of lightweight polymer materials, the weight of the fuselage is only about 129g, light and portable, and the edges and corners of the fuselage basically use an excessive arc, there is no sense of cutting in the hand, and the overall feel is light and comfortable.

On the whole, the appearance design of iFLYTEK translator 4.0 tends to be simple and atmospheric, the temperament is calm and fashionable, and the style is very versatile. it is very suitable for people with all kinds of foreign-related communication needs. I believe it will certainly attract each other's attention.

Basic speech translation function iFLYTEK translator 4.0 adopts 8-core high-speed processor, has 4 microphone arrays, and integrates iFLYTEK noise reduction algorithm, while custom sound speakers carry Smart PA + iFLYTEK intelligent EQ algorithm, this hardware configuration lays a good foundation for translation function.

In terms of specific translation functions, CTOnews.com first experiences the basic voice translation functions.

IFLYTEK translator 4.0 supports two different translation modes: manual mode and automatic mode. The first is manual mode, which translates normally by pressing or clicking the screen button with your fingers. If you press to speak for a long time, you can release it.

Or click once to start the radio, and then stop automatically.

You can also turn on the "volume key" function, long press the volume button on the right side of the translator to trigger the voice translation function, and then let go of the translation.

The automatic mode requires "button-free translation" to be turned on in the setting, so that iFLYTEK translator 4.0 can automatically recognize the user's speech and ending actions by detecting changes in gestures and distance close to the mouth, and then translate.

This function is very suitable for frequent face-to-face communication with foreigners, close to the mouth to translate their own language, hand out the translation of ta language, without repeated manual click, pick up and put down the translation, very natural and convenient.

CTOnews.com has tested this function. When the translator is picked up and close to the mouth, the translator is very sensitive to action recognition. The author has tried many times and has not encountered the situation of non-recognition.

IFLYTEK translator 4.0 can also accurately recognize the actions that users want to speak if they wear a mask.

After opening iFLYTEK translator 4.0, the default main interface is the voice translation interface. Language settings can be made at the bottom of the interface. Click the icon in the lower right corner for more settings.

In terms of translation languages, iFLYTEK translator 4.0 currently supports online instant translation in 83 languages, including Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Russian, French, etc., of which 60 foreign languages can be translated with Chinese. the choice of languages has covered more than 200 countries and regions. In addition, it also supports the translation between five Chinese dialects and English (Northeast dialect, Sichuan dialect, Henan dialect, Cantonese and Shandong dialect, of which Cantonese can be translated with English and Putonghua), Tibetan and Uyghur languages and Putonghua, and 15 foreign language accents.

Moreover, at present, iFLYTEK translator 4.0 supports Chinese-English online translation in 16 industries, including medical care, finance and computer. Some professional words or idioms can be encountered in the translation process, which can be very professional and accurate.

Face-to-face translation in addition to the basic voice translation function, the iFLYTEK translation machine also provides a face-to-face translation function, which can enter the face-to-face translation interface by sliding to the right in the main interface of the basic translation function.

Face-to-face translation is mainly to meet the communication scene when users are involved in the foreign minister, and to ensure the efficient and convenient development of communication. The two sides of the communication usually sit or stand face to face, and the translator displays the original text and translation of both sides of the communication on a separate screen. in this way, both sides can see and hear the meaning of each other clearly.

Face-to-face translation also has manual mode and automatic mode. You need to click on the screen for speech recognition in manual mode. For example, An is holding a translator to talk to B. before speaking, A taps on the area of his mother tongue on the screen. With the orange ripple in this area, the voice of A can be recognized, and the translation results are presented in both areas of the screen in the form of both mother tongues. So that everyone can see it. Similarly, when B speaks, An only needs to click on the area of the other person's mother tongue to identify and translate.

You can also set the waiting time for the end of each conversation between An and B, which can be adjusted according to the pause speed of both sides of the conversation.

At present, face-to-face translation supports three foreign languages: English, Japanese and Korean. I believe iFLYTEK will add more language support in the future.

As for the automatic mode, it is more suitable to be used in a quiet environment, when either party speaks, it can be directed to receive through the microphone, judge and determine the direction of the speaker, and then display the original text on the screen of the speaker's direction. display the corresponding translation on the other side's screen.

Because the iFLYTEK translator 4.0 is equipped with a 4-microphone array, the discrimination of the radio direction is relatively accurate, and the actual experience test is the same, basically does not judge the other party's sound source as its own sound source.

Of course, if your environment is noisy and it is easy to interfere with the identification of sound sources, it is recommended that you switch to manual mode for conversation in this scenario.

Fourth, photo translation experience in daily work and life, in addition to communicating with foreigners and reading foreign languages from pictures, documents and other carriers, it is also a high-frequency scene that needs translation. Therefore, iFLYTEK deduction machine 4.0 also supports photo translation, sliding from the main interface of basic voice translation to the left, you can enter the interface of photo translation.

The simple interface can make the product more convenient and efficient in daily use, without tedious search in a bunch of functional portals, and can directly reach the translation needs.

After using the translation function, there is a rigid requirement, that is, the export of translation records. Currently, iFLYTEK translator 4.0 supports online export and local backup, in which online export means that translation records can be saved to the cloud (official website or official account).
