At the Microsoft Build developer conference in Seattle, Cheetah Mobile showed off the international version of CM Translator, a top-selling handheld AI translation device in China. CM Translator is powered by AI technology from Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services, including machine translation and neural TTS capabilities, as well as Automatic Speech Recognition from OrionStar.
Set to release later this month, CM Translator features a “One Click, One World” single-button design. Cheetah also said it has a long battery life with 180 days of standby time and 24 hours of continuous use per charge. It supports six languages: English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Thai.
“CM Translator has been a huge hit in China, so we’re thrilled to bring this handy device to international customers, starting with the U.S.,” said Solomon Lee, vice president of AIoT at Cheetah Mobile, in a statement. “CM Translator’s one-click to translate feature makes it a must-have accessory for overseas travelers and multi-lingual families.”
