TabiDex: Japanese Translator

LESS LOST. MORE JAPAN. A first greeting. A menu full of possibilities. A question before your train leaves. TabiDex helps English-speaking travelers understand Japanese and find the words to reply. UNDERSTAND THE CONVERSATION Start listening to read Japanese speech with an English translation. Stop when you want. Speak or type in English, review the Japanese, then show your reply or play it aloud with Apple system voices. MAKE SENSE OF MENUS AND SIGNS Take a photo or open an image from Photos or Files. Recognize Japanese text and translate it. Review menu items, prices and quantities, then show your order. Optional on-device Apple Intelligence explains recognized content and suggests a next step. TAKE A LITTLE JAPANESE WITH YOU Browse useful traveler phrases, hiragana, katakana and numbers. Read approximate pronunciation guides, reveal study cards and cycle through categories at your pace. Keep a favorite in a widget or send a selected phrase to Apple Watch. PREPARE BEFORE TAKEOFF Download required Japanese and English language and speech resources before traveling. Core translation and bundled phrases work independently of optional AI after setup. Resource downloads and iCloud photo imports can require a connection. START AT YOUR OWN PACE Complete or skip first-run setup. Choose permissions separately. Reopen setup or the offline new-user guide in Settings whenever you need help. YOUR DEVICE. YOUR CHOICE. No TabiDex account, subscription or personal API key is required. Translation, speech and optional AI use Apple on-device technology. Apple Intelligence features require supported hardware, enabled Apple Intelligence and downloaded models. Conversation audio saving starts off. If you enable it with separate consent, recordings remain local with a one-hour or 24-hour availability window. Delete recordings in History. Ask participants for required permission before listening or saving. Private replies sent to Watch expire after 15 minutes; delivery depends on connectivity. Travel with curiosity and check the details. Translation, speech recognition and AI can make mistakes. Review results before speaking, ordering or taking action. Confirm prices, ingredients, allergens and cross-contact directly with staff. Do not rely on translation alone for emergencies or other critical decisions.
