＜One of Tokyo's Largest Taxi Apps - S.RIDE＞ Your life in Tokyo is busy every day. That is why you want an easier way to get where you need to go. S.RIDE is a taxi app for busy people like you. With just one swipe, you can hail a taxi and the nearest vehicle will be dispatched to you from one of Tokyo’s largest taxi networks. Payment is also cashless and speedy. This app offers a much more comfortable way to move around Tokyo. [Major App Features] ＜1. Simple. Hail quickly. Arrives quickly＞ After launching the app, all it takes is one swipe. With a single action, you can call a taxi quickly and easily. The app will automatically adjust the pick-up point to the closest roadside point, so there is no need to coordinate where to meet your taxi. The dispatch time will be displayed in the app, so you can input your destination while you are waiting to make getting there even smoother. You can also use simple messaging to communicate with the driver, which will give you peace of mind in the event of a sudden problem. You can send simple messages with details of the pick-up point, for example, so there is no need to worry about arriving at the pick-up point a little late and there being no taxi waiting for you. ＜2. Smart. Pay quickly＞ Register your credit card (VISA/MasterCard/JCB/AMEX/Diners) beforehand to make getting off the taxi smoother, without the need to hurriedly pull out your cash or your card. S.RIDE Wallet is a convenient option for taxis picked up on the street or from a taxi rank (*more taxis are being added all the time). Simply by using the app to scan the QR code displayed on the tablet in the back seat, you can pay online, in the same way as the taxi dispatch, and hop out of the taxi as soon as you reach your destination. You can also issue usage statements from the ride history on the app, so there is no need to worry even if you lose your usage statement. ＜3. Speedy.

For ordinary speech and text translation, Hanaso Talk is a conversation aid that quickly translates short speech and shows the result in large, easy-to-read text. Choose any two different languages from Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese (Taiwan), Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and French. You select My Language and Partner’s Language explicitly; automatic language detection is not used. Written conversations Choose the same language for both people to display typed text or standard device speech recognition results in large text without translating them. Copy text, read it aloud on your device, and keep the three most recent results. Written conversation actions do not use the translation API or external High Accuracy speech recognition, consume credits, or request ads. Typed text can be displayed offline. Speech recognition and read-aloud availability depend on your device and installed language models. Key features • Choose any different pair from 10 supported languages • Switch between speaking yourself and listening to your partner • Show translations in large text for face-to-face conversation • Correct the source text and retranslate only when you choose • Keep the three most recent translations on your device • Choose Standard or High Accuracy speech recognition Standard mode uses your device’s speech recognizer. Hanaso Talk does not send recorded audio to its backend in Standard mode; only recognized text is sent for translation. Any processing by your operating system or its speech-recognition provider is governed by your device settings and that provider’s terms. High Accuracy mode is optional and available only when you explicitly select it and have purchased credits. Recorded audio is sent temporarily through the backend to an external speech-to-text service for transcription. It is not stored or logged. One purchased credit is consumed only when both transcription and translation succeed. Free ad-supported uses do not enable High Accuracy mode. The free plan holds up to five translations. When the allowance is empty, an interstitial ad may be required to restore it; ad availability depends on region, consent, network conditions, and the ad provider. The 100-use and 300-use packs provide ad-free translations as consumable, non-renewing in-app purchases. They are not subscriptions. An internet connection is required for translation. Speech recognition and AI translation can contain errors. Do not rely on the app alone for medical, legal, financial, contractual, emergency, or other safety-critical communication; obtain confirmation from a qualified professional or public authority. Cloud photo translation (purchased credits) With purchased credits and consent to send the photo, read the whole image or adjust the frame first. Review and edit the recognized text in one field, confirm source and target languages, then translate mixed-language text and display translations over the image. Up to 200 characters uses 2 credits; 201–600 uses 3, only when all translations succeed. Capture, reading and range selection use no credits. Narrow the frame if the text exceeds 600 characters. Free users and written conversation retain on-device OCR. This mode does not send images; ordinary translation allows 200 characters and uses 1 credit on success.
