Small Talk (Windows Installer)

The world's first two-way real-time translator, Small Talk is a software application for Palm Powered Handhelds. More than just a phrase book or a dictionary, Small Talk allows you to engage in a real conversation with another person, even if you don't speak the same language.

Using the familiar form of flash cards, Small Talk presents the user with full sentences, organized into intuitive categories such as Lodging, Transportation and Dining. Small Talk also allows the other person to respond by choosing from a list of likely responses to your question.

Simply tapping on a phrase instantly translates it into English, French, German, Italian, or Spanish.    Nine Sections Small Talk provides an intuitive method of locating the phrase/conversation you want to initiate.   Nine Sub-Sections Each section leads to a sub section with it's own set of icons.
