The Pocketalk S is a compact translation device suitable for many travellers, supporting more than 84 languages. It comes with a SIM card valid for two years, providing translation services in 130 countries, after which renewal is required. Its small, convenient design is a significant benefit.

We appreciate the Pocketalk “S” model primarily for its photo translation feature, a valuable asset for any translation device. However, switching languages during a conversation is unnecessarily complex: instead of just pressing the central button, you must tap a small arrow on the screen followed by the large middle button before the other person speaks. It is quite cumbersome.

The translation quality is generally acceptable, though the manufacturer does not disclose the number of translation engines used or the exact accuracy of the translations. In our testing, conveying our message was mostly successful, despite some inaccuracies.

Additionally, the device includes a SIM card that provides 2 years of translation service in most countries and notably features a photo translator, a rare option in other translators on the market.
