Yes. The Basic Version can be upgraded by purchasing an additional upgrade service.

You can download the app in either of the following ways:

1) Scan the QR code on the product box or user manual

2) Search “EarDance” in the Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android)

3) After installation, please allow the required permissions (Bluetooth, microphone, and camera for photo translation).

The Translate Version supports six major translation scenarios:

1) Text & Vocie real-time Translation (160+ languages)

2) Offline Translation (no internet required after language packs are downloaded)

3) Real-Time Call Translation (compatible with apps like WhatsApp, Skype, WeChat, etc.)

4) Video Call Translation (works with mainstream video chat apps)

5) Simultaneous Interpretation (two-way, real-time translation for meetings and conversations)

6) Photo Translation (menus, signs, documents, and printed text)

Steps:
1) Connect the earbuds to the EarDance App

2) Go to “Mine” - “Offline translation download”

4) Download the required offline language packs in advance

Note: Offline translation accuracy may be slightly lower than online translation. Language packs must be downloaded while connected to the internet (Wi-Fi recommended).

A brief 1–2 second pause is normal during real-time translation.

After the speaker finishes talking, the system needs a moment to detect the end of the sentence, process the speech, and generate an accurate translation. This ensures better context understanding and more natural results.

This is not a Bluetooth or connection issue - it’s part of how AI translation works.

For smoother performance, we recommend speaking in complete sentences and pausing briefly after finishing.

Offline translation supports 13 commonly used languages:
Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Vietnamese, Thai, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Hindi.

Please note: Offline translation requires downloading the corresponding language packs in advance through the EarDance App.

How to use:

1) Open the EarDance App and select Photo Translation

2) Allow camera access
