Vocre from myLanguage

Vocre Translate Vocre Lets You Instantly Converse In Foreign Languages It’s almost magical how Vocre works; Speak into the app while your iPhone is vertical, flip the phone horizontal and the phone’s accelerometer cues the app to translate and speak what you’ve said into the language of the people you’re speaking with, they then can respond, rinse, repeat. To use Vocre, select the language and the gender of the person you’re going to be talking to, and Vocre does the rest. Vocre views its competitive landscape as Google Translate and JibbGo, holding that what it does differently is focus on in-person dialogue and novel User Experience. Vocre co-founder Andrew Lauder says that his ultimate aim is to make it fun and easy to speak a foreign language via a phone, “Our focus is on conversation, Google’s focus is translating web pages, but if you actually want to have a conversation it’s lacking.” The app monetizes through subscriptions and every new download comes with 10 free translations. Vocre currently has $50K in seed funding. JG: How about intelligibility?
