This companion application is designed to be used with j5create WormholeSwitch USB-C Dock Wireless Charger. The j5create WormholeSwitch USB-C Dock Wireless Charger is a USB Dock with host-to-host wireless connectivity feature. In addition to its hub, holder and wireless charging functions, the included Bluetooth dongle also provides pairing identification to help Windows PC and iPad/iPhone connect wirelessly via local Wi-Fi or hotspot connection. After the connection is successful, you can use this APP to mirror the Windows PC main screen and view and operate it directly on iPad/iPhone. Gesture events or stylus trajectories and pen pressure on iPad/iPhone can also be reflected in Windows, just like having an extra touch screen in Windows. In addition to this mirror mode, this APP also provides the function of generating a virtual second screen in Windows, and this second screen can be projected to iPad/iPhone for viewing and operation. Conversely, we can also project the content of iPad/iPhone to Windows PC through this wireless connection. This function is just like AirPlay. You can see iPad/iPhone screen content and operations directly on the Windows PC screen. In addition, through the Bluetooth dongle, users can switch the keyboard and mouse from Windows to iPad/iPhone, allowing users to use the mouse connected to Windows to control iPad/iPhone while watching the projected content, or Use the keyboard connected to Windows to input text directly on iPad/iPhone. In addition to video screen projection and duplication, the app also supports an AirDrop-like feature that allows you to easily share media content such as videos, photos, or files to the "Downloads" location on your Windows PC. You can also share files to your iPad/iPhone by right-clicking the file in Windows Explorer and selecting the Share menu function, just like using AirDrop on a Mac. In addition, we also provide a file selector located in the main panel to directly select the file to be transferred.

Vurbo Talk lets two people talk naturally, face to face, even without a shared language. WHO IT'S FOR Retail counters, hotel front desks, service windows, trade show booths โ€” anywhere staff need to communicate with guests in real time, in a different language. HOW IT WORKS Set up two devices โ€” one for staff, one for the guest โ€” facing each other, and just start talking. Vurbo Talk automatically detects when each person finishes speaking, translates it into the other person's language, and reads the translation aloud. No waiting, no manual translate button. KEY FEATURES โ€ข Real-time two-way voice translation โ€” each side hears and reads the translated speech instantly โ€ข Automatic turn detection โ€” no need to manually mark when a turn starts or ends โ€ข Multi-language support โ€” covers the languages staff and guests commonly need โ€ข Customizable idle screen โ€” venues can show their own image while the guest device is idle โ€ข Stable device pairing built for close-range, all-day counter use LICENSING Vurbo Talk is provided to frontline staff through an organization's paid license. There is no in-app purchase or self-registration โ€” accounts are issued by the organization.
