Medical Communications
This is an extensive phrasebook organized by situation. So, for example, when admitting a patient to the ER, you go to that section and you'll find pre-translated phrases developed specifically for medical communications within the ER.

You can speak into the device to say the phrase you want, or you can just tap the phrase with your fingertip. The device will speak it back out. The patient will hear the voice of  a professional narrator speaking in the patient's own language.

These are logically arranged into these main categories:

  • Triage.
  • Trauma.
  • Medical.
  • General.
  • Pre-hospital Information.
  • Fire.
  • Registration.
  • History.
  • Medications.
  • Pregnancy
  • Physical Exam.
  • Communications Control.

Some of these main categories take you directly to the phrases you need. For example, tap on Triage and you get a listing of phrases such as "Do you understand me?" and "Point with one finger to where you are having pain."

Others have their own subcategories. For example, tap on Registration and you choose between Introduction Statements and Patient Demographics, each with its own phrases.

Tap on the main category Medical, and you get:

  • Cardiac.
  • Fibrinolytic Criteria.
  • Respiratory.
  • Abdomincal.
  • CVA/TIA.
  • OB/GYN.
  • Overdose.

A small sampling of the medical-specific phrases:

Triage:

  • Do you understand me?
  • Move your head up and down like this for yes.
  • Move your head from side to side like this for no.
  • Are you having pain?
  • Point with one finger to where you are having pain.
  • Are you feeling sick?
  • Are you having chest pain?
  • Are you having stomach or abdominal pain?
  • Are you having problems with weakness in the arms or legs?
  • Are you having problems with speech?
  • ...and more.

Trauma:

  • Do not move.
  • I am going to put a C-collar on you.
  • Do you have pain in your head, neck, or back?
  • Point with one finger to where you are having pain.
  • Does it hurt here?
  • Are you dizzy?
  • ...and more.

Overdose:

  • Show me what you took.
  • How many? Hold up the number of fingers.
  • Did you take it more than three hours ago?
  • Did you take it less than one hour ago?
  • Did you take any other medicines?
  • ...and more.

Physical exam:

  • Don't move.
  • Relax.
  • Quiet please.
  • Please be still.
  • Sit down.
  • Lie down.
  • Stand up.
  • Take off your shirt.
  • Turn onto your side.
  • Open your eyes.
  • Open your mouth.
  • Bend your head forward.
  • Take a deep breath.
  • Breathe normally.
  • Cough.
  • ...and more.

Pre-hospital:

  • What is your first name?
  • What is your last name?
  • Please write down your first and last name.
  • What is your address?
  • Please write down your address.
  • ...and more.

[Note: there's a series of questions, each followed by "Please write down...." These include phone number, social security number, date of birth, and other information needed on an admissions form.]

Fire:

  • Is there someone here who can speak English?
  • Do you know how the fire started?
  • Do you know where the fire started?
  • Is anybody home?
  • Is there anybody inside?
  • Did you see anything suspicious?
  • Where is your electrical panel?
  • Where is your gas meter?
  • Where is your roof access?
  • ...and more.
EMS Commands
This section allows you to create profiles for multiple people. Each person can then add their own translations that are trained to their voice. Speaking a short command (a "voice tag") pulls up the translation in that person's voice.

For example:

  • John says, "Introduce me" into the unit.
  • The unit says (in the other language), "Hello. My name is John Holt and I am an emergency medical technician. I am here to help you. I don't speak Spanish, but this machine will help us talk. Did you understand what I just said?"
  • A simple nod is all John needs in reply.
  • Next, he speaks a series of other initiation words or phrases and the Spanish Translator MD5 for Medical, Fire, Rescue speaks to the patient each time.

You can adapt this to your organization's specific procedures.

The Spanish Translator MD5 for Medical, Fire, Rescue understands thousands of medical, fire, and rescue phrases spoken in English. It can pronounce the translations back to those you are trying to help. This hands-free/ eyes-free operational unit produces 100% understandable translations spoken by professional native-speakers. Now you have the assistance you need to make the right decision and provide the help that saves lives.

See the Specs tab for details. They're right below the specifications table.

Speech

The technology to provide "speech to speech translation" is unlikely to exist in your lifetime. Thus, nobody actually sells a translator that does such a thing. Men take the Russian version of what is available to Ukraine and come back with brides. So, we know existing technology works just fine for two people to really communicate.

Other Methods

Pocket translators aren't the only way to communicate with foreign language speakers. Here are some other methods, compared.

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 phone can 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 a camera.

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.
