MULTIPLE PERSONALITY
The MOTOMING is Motorola’s first mobile device with a dual-language “talking” dictionary. Users enter a word in a native language; the on-board handwriting recognition allows the text to be entered naturally by writing directly on the large 1.5″ x 2″ screen. The word is then “spoken” aloud by the device in a foreign language. Simultaneously, the definition of the word is displayed on-screen in the native language. Alternatively, when a foreign word is entered the MOTOMING will pronounce the word in that language and display the definition in the user’s native language.
