Talking Phrase Book Giveaway

lastminute.com and software developer Coolgorilla  have announced that they are making their innovative Talking Mobile Phrase Books available to download absolutely free in time for this years summer holiday season. The Talking Phrase Books are available in French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese and Greek and work with some, though not all, Nokia and Sony Ericsson handsets.
Once downloaded to the users phone, each phrase book works by providing a structured menu system in English, covering various topics from Travel, Accommodation, Shopping and even Romance.
Simply find your required phrase, press Select and your mobile phone then speaks the phrase, using the recordings of real, native voice-over artists, in addition to supplying a text translation on screen.
Quicker and easier than a standard phrasebook, the added functionality of audio translations means you can be sure of your pronunciation before attempting to speak the lingo or should you wish, just play the recipient the translation through the phones speaker.
We are really excited by this generous move from lastminute.com to distribute the applications for free, and are anticipating huge download numbers says Coolgorilla MD, Roy Forsdick. Less sophisticated software is available for anything up to 20 per language, which makes this an absolutely fantastic offer.”
Mark McCulloch, Head of Brand Development at lastminute.com adds:
Not only are these applications extremely useful, they are really great fun to use too. Hopefully this will encourage us Brits to be a little more confident in trying other languages whilst abroad.
