You don’t have to learn Mandarin Chinese. With Tap & Talk, you can choose phrases in English and translate them into Mandarin Chinese (text and spoken) with just a tap of the finger. Hear over 4,000 phrases in 15 categories available in audio, spoken by a native Taiwanese speaker!
If you are going to Taiwan and cannot speak Mandarin Chinese, Tap & Talk can help you communicate in essential situations, such as a restaurant, hotel, taxi, chatting with locals, asking for directions, etc. Carry it with you wherever you go to communicate important words, phrases, and conversations, all with just an easy tap of the finger. It is a great tool for tourists, backpackers, business people, and students.
TAP & TALK WORKS LIKE THIS: there are 15 categories of dialogue. Within each category are more specific situations. For example, if you tap the “Transportation” category, you can further choose between Subway, Bus, Taxi, or Boat. Within each situation, there is a list of common phrases for you to choose from. For example, under Dining --> Ordering, you can tap the phrase “May we have a menu, please?” Each phrase is written in English and Mandarin Chinese. When you tap a phrase, it will play the audio in Mandarin Chinese. So you can either play the audio for the person you are trying to communicate with, or show them the writing on your iPhone.
