How to use

Introduction.

Guest users are not allowed to create rooms or re-edit text after input is confirmed.

If you wish to use these functions, please login with your Google or Twitter account.

These social account links are used only for the purpose of distinguishing users.

1. Create a room first.

To create a room, you will need to sign in with your Google or Twitter account. Once you are logged in, click on "Create Room" and give it a name!

If you want to invite guest users, check the "Allow guests to join" box here (it is checked by default).

You can change the room name and guest permission settings later.

2. Three ways to invite participants.

After creating a room, click "Invite" to invite participants.

Invitation URL

Valid for 24 hours

Short code

Valid for 10 minutes

If you cannot send the URL, please use this one.

Participants can enter the room from the "Accept Invitation" link on the top page.

QR Code

Valid for 24 hours

For smart phone users

If you are a guest user, you will be automatically removed from the room when you close your browser.

If you are a guest user, please re-enter the room each time.

(Logged-in users will retain the privilege to enter the room.)

The expiration date is from the time you click the invite button.

You can issue it as many times as you want!

3. Two methods of voice conversion.

After entering the room and connecting the microphone, press the Convert button to start.

Confirm button

Shortcut: Enter

Pressing the "Continue" button will convert your speech into characters one by one.

The "Single" button is automatically turned off once the character conversion is confirmed.

You have to press it every time you speak. It's a hassle, but try using it when you are in a meeting with many people and other people's voices are in the mix.

Basically, use "Continue". If you are picking up ambient noise or the voice of the person next to you, try using "Single".

Let's UniTalker!

From here, you can also change settings such as text and background colors.

UniTalker sometimes gets lost in the voice translation!

[[[ ]]]←During the conversion, this parenthesis is displayed and sometimes the process does not proceed without getting lost. Sorry about that

In such a case, you can force the process to stop by pressing the "Confirm button (paper airplane icon)" or the "Continue" or "Single" button.

In the case of "Continue" if you continue to speak Continuely without separating you will end up with a series of sentences that are difficult to read like this one This is because commas and periods are not automatically inserted.

In the case of "Continue" you can force the conversion to be finalized by pressing the "Confirm button (paper airplane icon)".

Try to speak in intervals while taking a breath.

Or try setting the default "input wait time" to a shorter value (e.g. 1~2 seconds).

You can use your hand to enter punctuation marks on the keyboard as an aid while speaking.

It has its quirks, but try to use it well.
