Jibbigo Translator App for iPhone Review
Traveling to a foreign country can be stressful, especially if your command over the local language is shaky at best. To an extent, you can rely on pocket translators or phrasebook. But that might not work every time, especially if you’re in a situation that demands quick reply and you don’t have the time to refer back to your book. Only a natural speech translation tool could bow you out from such tricky moments. One such tool we’re reviewing here is Jibbigo Translator, a free translator app from iTunes.

This is how the app works: hold down the mic button and say the word/text you want to translate. You translation will be displayed in couple of seconds.
The performance of Jibbigo Translator is excellent. We tried with two Japanese words –for hospital and beauty parlor – that sounds similar and Jibbigo Translator app came up with the precise translation for both. As far as English is concerned, the app is intelligent enough to differentiate homophones based on the context (such as quite and quiet, for example). However, some consistency issues were reported while using some other languages (for example, Danish).
