YesAsia Editorial Description

From Sony Computer Entertainment comes Talkman, a voice-activated portable video game created especially to teach foreign languages to Japanese PSP owners! This unique software application lets players play games to test their language fluency, working both as a language interpreter and a language instructor for a variety of different languages, including Japanese, English, Korean, and Chinese.

Talkman has two different operating modes in regard to language features, and both of these modes contain full voice and character animation. Even better, gamers can go in any direction in regard to language instruction: English to Japanese, Korean to English, Chinese to Japanese - there are so many possibilities! The language interpreter feature is categorized by situation. When players decide on a setting, the game customizes the phrases to suit that location, whether it be an airport, an airplane, a restaurant, a shopping mall, or a sightseeing trip, just to name a few.

In addition, Talkman's language trainer mode is an enjoyable side-game in which the Talkman bird character takes on the role of teacher, grading you on your language skills! This game evaluates your pronunciation and feeds phrases to you that you must then repeat in turn. To properly play this handheld PSP game, Talkman even includes a USB microphone with each copy!

Super cool and showy best companion for overseas Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
To speak with other people in a land with a foreign tongue takes courage. Now a super entertainment tool to solve this problem and make your overseas trip more fun and interesting is about to be released!

Here, you will be accompanied by your very own translator, Max, whether it be sightseeing at tourist attractions, taking public transport, or even helping with communication in emergencies, it is your best helper! Not only that, there is also a game that lets you learn languages while playing, and a set of convenient and useful tools for tours!

Game Features, Recommended Points 1. Overcome language boundaries! Entertainment tool supporting languages of many nations!
Max (the translator in the game) is well versed in 4 languages, American English, Chinese simplified, Japanese and Korean. You just have to set any of them as your mother tongue and use to the PSP? ‘s custom microphone to pose your question, Max will understand you and translate it into the language you desire! The game also prepared many preset situations for you to choose, so whether you encounter the problems of miscommunication at the hotel, while shopping, dining, at the airport or money problems, you can let Max take over!.
2. Play & learn! Two birds with one stone, fun multiplied!
Besides serious translation abilities, in order to entertain you the player, the production also prepare many games waiting for you. And all these games can help you learn a foreign language, as long as you devote some of your break time to this, you can happily and relaxingly learn the language! Here we introduce the two most basic educational games, “pronunciation practice” allowing you to repeatedly practice until you get the pronunciation right; and “listening game” testing your listening skills! And if you score perfect marks, new educational games can be unlocked!
3. Good helper for overseas vacation! Convenient multi-purpose tools!
While in a foreign land, the currency differences will definitely bring on problems like amounts and exchange rates, so this game mindfully prepare a unit conversion tool, allowing you to see things in your familiar terms, and you can freely alter these exchange rates. Other than this, when you make new friends in a foreign land, but have problems remembering their faces and voices, you can make use of the friend map in the game to record their places of births, lookalike icons, voices etc.

Talkman Review Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
The Three Phases Of Talkman

Firstly, if you after an engrossing story line, 700+ different racing cars or a king of the hill deathmatch, Talkman is none of these. In fact, it could only be described as a game in the loosest sense of the word. This is a tool, a very clever one.

If you know nothing of Talkman, it's the latest offering from Sony Japan, promising to act as a translator between four different languages. English, Japanese, Chinese and Korean. Thankfully, I have been blessed with Japanese, Chinese and Korean friends, so we spent a weekend giving Talkman a thorough run for its money....
