• Audio Player. The 900 has a media player with MP3 support. See notes below on audio players.
• eBook Reader. The jetBook Reader displays and translates your favorite eBooks so reading can be done anywhere and anytime.

The jetBook Reader jetBook handles gif, jpg, mp3, pdf, and txt files.

• Calculator. The basic math functions, plus a few more things such as square root, inversion, and memory. A cool feature: It has a Back key!

• Metric Conversions. This is graphically enhanced and interactive. Well done.
• Size Equivalents. Do you know the size equivalents for shirts, blouses, and shoes in the USA, UK, Europe, and Japan? Few people do. Climbers know their European shoe sizes, but most folks don't. Today, most sneakers have both European and USA sizes--take a look at yours. OK, but what about your shirt? In the USA and UK, the neck measurement determines the man's shirt size. Not so everywhere else. A woman who normally wears a size 6 blouse will have to buy a size 10 in the UK or a size 5 in Japan. In Europe, that would be a size 38. You're shopping while traveling, right?
• Voice recorder. No 'splainin' to do on this one.
• World time. Pretty handy when you are traveling around the world! Pretty handy if you're not traveling around the world but need to know world time anyhow.  This is nicely done with a combination of graphics and picklists.

With audio players, you can:

• Play music.
• Play any audio course that comes in MP3 format.
• Enjoy any of the thousands of audio books available in MP3 format.
• Four audio books are included with the 900.

Audio books. The 900 can play any audiobook that is in MP3 format, if you have it on an SD card.

• You can get audiobooks from your local public library (most libraries now have an extensive catalog), from many sites online, or from an audiobooks subscription.
• Audiobooks help you boost your brainpower, stay current with the nonfiction titles, or just enjoy a good novel. Carrying a book on your 900 and listening to it keeps your hands free and doesn't require lugging around yet another item.
• The 9-Language MedEuro Translator Ectaco 9ME900AK09 comes with four audio books already on it (three are 50 minutes long, the fourth is 47 minutes long). These are audio tours of sites in France, such as the Paris Historic Walk and the Louvre.

Some Features This Device Does NOT Have

The 900 is an amazing product. But it can't do everything. Here are some features it does not have:

• Speech to speech translation.
• Phone. The 9-Language MedEuro Translator Ectaco 9ME900AK09 doesn't dial out. Not even for pizza.
• A stun setting. While this would be extremely useful in airport lines and rock concerts, it is unfortunately not included in the 9-Language MedEuro Translator Ectaco 9ME900AK09.

Also, your particular language set may not offer all of the available 900 features described in the general 900-series translator part of this page. See the Specifications Table to see what your language set does and does not have.

Smart phone apps. Sometimes, customers ask why they should buy a pocket translator instead of a smart phone app. It's a good question, because smart phones like the Android are awesome products. But then, so are pocket translators.

1. The iTravl and 900-series pocket translators have four translation tools, and most other models have at least two. The app is only one tool, and while it is helpful it's a debutante rather than a specialist.
2. A smart phonecan hold a translation app. Pocket translators are translation devices that also hold other apps.
3. Pocket translators work, whether you have a signal or not.
4. Pocket translators don't report back your location, and don't have a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM card).
5. You won't be barred from bringing a pocket translator into a secure location, because it doesn't have acamera.

Laptops. Yes, a laptop will run circles around a pocket translator if, for example, you want to crunch a big spreadsheet. But pocket translators have some advantages:

1. A mobile device is always on. You don't need to wait for it to boot up, as you do with your laptop.
2. A pocket translator fits in your pocket. Try getting your laptop to do that.
3. A pocket translator weighs quite a bit less than a laptop does.
4. With the pocket translator, you get the full functionality of translator programs, vs something pared down for laptop use.
5. The form factor of the pocket translator is geared toward translation, and that's not true of a laptop.

Human interpretors. If you thought getting a laptop into your pocket was tough, try that with a 150 lb person! A pocket translator has some other advantages:

1. You don't need to schedule a pocket translator to meet you somewhere.
2. You don't need to pay a pocket translator by the hour or buy it meals.
3. A pocket translator is a machine that provides exact translation. A human interpreter, well, interprets. So it's sometimes someone's opinion of what you meant to say instead of what you said.
4. Human translators have varying degrees of competency. Sometimes, they guess.
