Some business travelers head off on the road for familiar places. But others travel the world. And while visiting new far-flung places can be interesting and exciting, it can also be challenging if you don’t speak the local language. In the past, when I’ve traveled overseas to countries where I didn’t speak the language, I always made sure I had a translation guide handy, or access to some translation applications on my iPhone. But I recently came across a new translation option that might be interesting to business travelers who have to cope with real-world translation issues. This Business Travel QuikTip features an overview of Muuzii real-time translation services, via an interview with Eric Fang, the CEO of Muuzii. (This article is part of a series of Business Travel QuikTips, in which I explore or introduce readers to a business travel-oriented solution, product, service, or person.) Tell me a little bit about your translation service Muuzii offers the only real-time, free-form translation service delivered via SMS and MMS and available 24/7 on any device and operating system. Because it is not an app, subscribers do not need to have a Wi-Fi or Internet connection. This is important when traveling to places with limited or no Internet connection. It works on any mobile device with texting capability. The subscription service runs on 2G and higher telecom wireless networks. Who needs translation services? Doesn’t everyone in the business world speak English? While many people around the world make it a priority to speak English to better their employment prospects, not everyone you encounter on a trip overseas speaks English. Below is a testimonial from one of our business customers that is fluent in English and Spanish, but needed help with Chinese: “My real  story about Muuzii. I was in a mall in […]

June 25, 2014 | By Mike Dano – AT&T Mobility (NYSE: T) today launched a new language translation service for Spanish and Chinese speakers through a new partnership with startup Muuzii. The service starts at $2.99 per month and allows users to send texts in either Spanish or Chinese and have the messages sent back to them translated into English. The service, powered by Muuzii, is promoted as providing “real-time, free-form, accurate translations in seconds.” Cindy Davis, Muuzii’s CMO, explained to FierceWireless that the company started working with AT&T in 2011 and inked a master licensing agreement with the carrier to launch the service. The company will offer two plans through AT&T: Muuzii Message, which costs $2.99 per month and will be billed to a subscriber’s AT&T bill. The service allows users to send a text message to a short code and have it returned in text in English. Muuzii Speak, which costs $3.99 per month and will be billed to a subscriber’s AT&T bill. The service allows users to send a text message to a short code and have it returned in both text and an audio file in English. “We’re not an app. As you know, the carriers don’t make any money from apps,” Davis explained. Instead, she said, the service runs through AT&T’s network and is available to any phone–including feature phones–that can send text messages. Davis said Muuzii and AT&T will jointly promote the service. She said the company is working to ink agreements with other U.S. wireless carriers. And to generate interest in its service, she said the company will return free translations to anyone who texts to 95997 through July 15 as part of a World Cup promotion. AT&T’s new partnership with Muuzii is just one of the carrier’s speech recognition and translation efforts. […]

June25, 2014 – AT&T has launched one of the more innovative services to come through its developer program: Muuzii’s translation service that uses SMS-based text and audio to break down the language barrier. AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) is exclusively offering the service with a monthly subscription, although Muuzii is currently offering a free 14-day trial during the soccer World Cup. The startup’s CMO, Cindy Davis, says it will soon be available across other operators in the US through a third-party aggregator. The service made its way out of AT&T’s Developer Program back in December in a soft launch, but Muuzii CEO Eric Fang says today marks the official launch of the new and improved service. Interestingly, Fang says the carrier’s developer program was great to work with, but that it took two years to work through the traditional channels at AT&T to get up and running. “They were easy to work with but took a long time to get on their network,” Fang said. “AT&T was also looking at other products, and, internally, they had to go through the whole exercise of evaluating businesses and consumer drive. The most important thing is if you are looking at our services, we generate revenues and help carriers generate revenue as well.” AT&T takes a cut of the subscription service Muuzii offers, ranging from $2.99 to $4.99 per month, and takes care of the billing process. A Typical Translation Query… After a quick set up, Muuzii will translate anything, like this completely normal and useful query, instantaneously through texting a short code. There are many translation apps on the market, but what makes Muuzii unique — besides that it has the backing of a major operator — is that it uses the phone’s native texting app for translations. After a few clicks to […]
