You don’t have to learn Korean. With Tap & Talk, you can choose phrases in English and translate them into Korean (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 Korean speaker!
If you are going to Korea and cannot speak Korean, 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 Korean. When you tap a phrase, it will play the audio in Korean. So you can either play the audio for the person you are trying to communicate with, or show them the writing on your iPhone. If you need them to respond, they can tap the correct response and you will be able to read it in English.
