Can I translate to 10 people in a quiet classroom setting with them just listening with their phones ?
Yes sure, it can be used for teaching in a quiet classroom.
We recommend you use the Speaker Mode, and put the phone in the middle of students.
In fact, you can also connect a Bluetooth speaker to your phone at the same time, ensuring that more people can hear the translation clearly and loudly. This is a feature exclusive to WT2 Edge (Only for Speaker Mode).
If i buy 2 pairs of the wt2 edge, can 3 or 4 people have a conversation in simul mode? or is it limited to 2?
For the usage issues you are concerned about, below infos as a reference to try:
WT2 Edge can connect up to 3 sets of earphones (6 pcs) at a time;
Only these two modes can be used when multiple headphones are connected: Touch mode / Group chat
Simul mode is only available to use when you connect two earbuds(1 set)
If you are four of you chatting face-to-face together, it is recommended to use Touch mode:
>> Touch mode:
In this mode, if four people need to chat at the same time, only 2 sets of earphones (4) need to be connected;
*Open APP "Timekettle"-click "WT2 Edge"-select Touch mode
*Click the "Language selection" button-select the language to be translated-click to confirm
You can only choose one language to translate to another language. For example, if you speak English, your parents/in-laws can only hear Spanish (or other languages) translation at the same time;
* Everyone wears one headset and needs to touch their headset before speaking, and touch their headset to end after speaking;
>> The group chat mode is mainly suitable for some scenarios such as transnational conferences/home remote communication, etc., which need to be realized with the help of other video software.
How does Timekettle M3 compare to Timekettle M2?

I want larger foam cushions for a better fit to stay inside the ear, what is the size to order?
The M3 package contains two pairs of earplug caps of different sizes, one pair of large size and one pair of small size. If you need a larger size to fit your ears, wear the larger ear tip caps over the ear tips.
If I have two sets, can I wear one bud and give the other three to three students and have each of the students understand me? Which models?
You don't have to buy 2 devices to teach a class.
We recommend you use the Speaker Mode:
1 earbud + 1 app. In this mode, only one person needs to wear the headset. Please put on one of the headphones and place the phone in front of the conversation partners.
They can then hear the translation out loud or view the translated text.
Can I use the M3 without the Timekettle app?
Yes, you can listen to music/make phone calls and wake up the voice assistant, without Timekettle App. When you want to use the translation function, you need to connect the app, then you can explore the world without language barriers.
I see M3 translator device supports listening to music and phone calls, does it mean M3 also can support translation for music and phone calls?
The M3 can support use as ordinary Bluetooth earbuds (listen to music / make a call);
But it can not support translating the music content & phone call contents.
The instructions say it takes 90 minutes to charge the case and 75 minutes to charge the ear buds. If I plug the usb, does it charge both?

2. Choose the offline translation package you would like to download.
3. Start to use offline language when you use One-Click Translation or Chat Translation by clicking on the "三" button in the upper right corner and then turning on the "Offline translation" button.
Do you have any plans to add more languages to your offline offerings?
At present, our online translation and offline translation use different translation engines. Generally speaking, the accuracy of offline translation is lower than that of online translation, especially for small languages. Therefore, considering the product experience, the offline translation language package is very limited.
According to the feedback from the R&D and product departments, each offline language engine needs about 80,000 US dollars. Therefore, due to the influence of these factors, we currently only provide 13 offline languages with relatively mature translations.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but we will try our best to provide customers with translations in more languages and improve the accuracy of translations!

Can T1 be connected to Bluetooth or earbuds?
We do not recommend connecting T1 with other Bluetooth devices, although T1 has Bluetooth function and it does support connection with TWS earbuds and listen to translation through earbuds because you still need to talk to T1 directly in One-click mode when translating.
What does "2-years of Free Mobile Data" mean?
T1 uses a built-in antenna and can be used without inserting an e-SIM card. It should be noted that before using T1 you need to turn on the data network.
Our built-in antennas are professionally modulated for full-band and robust connectivity anywhere in the world, and the T1 offers up to 2 years of free mobile data and connections to over 200 wireless network operators worldwide.
Do I need to insert a SIM card?
It is correct that there is no nano-SIM card. There is only an ESIM included in fluentalk T1, which is inside the device and you can't see it.
ESIM can make you be able to use the 2 years of free data. After you receive the product, start up, click experience and then you are able to use the data for free for 2 years!
Any SIM cards can be used?
There's no special limit for the SIM card, including country and network company, unless your card itself has special restrictions. And you also can use the SIM card in the 2 years.
Usually, we suggest our customers use local SIM cards, because the network speed is faster and more stable, and in case some unknown reason happens to those unfamous SIM cards with our translator.
How to use the device after the 2-year free cellular data plan expires? Do I need to buy your cellular data?
Two-year free cellular data plan starts from the first activation of the device, you can use the data for free for 2 years, and the content of the traffic service is limited to translation-related functions;
After the data service expires, you can insert the mobile phone SIM card or use the WiFi connection;
We will also provide an option ($14.90/month or $44.90/year) to purchase more data when your data expires.
I can't turn on T1 normally!
For the first time the translation machine is turned on, it takes 3-5 mins to activate the machine to ensure that the built-in e-SIM card is connected to the local operator network.
Due to the different network environments in different regions, resulting in inconsistent activation time of the new translator, you can wait patiently for 5-10mins.
If there is still an abnormality, you can try to restart or restore the factory settings (Holding the power button and choosing restart on the pop-up window).
How to upgrade firmware?
The firmware upgrade steps are as follows:
1. There will be a pop-up prompt on the T1 page, you only need to follow the instructions to complete the upgrade operation.
2. You can also refresh the version in [Settings - System Settings - System Update] to complete the upgrade.
3. The upgraded firmware will automatically adjust the connection path in the next translation when the network is unstable and cannot be translated.
I'm fail to activate the 2-year free cellular data, what should I do?
If you encounter eSIM data activation failure or cross-border data activation failure for the first time,
you can manually restart it in "Settings - Network and Connection - Mobile Data - eSIM - RESTART THE NETWORK".
(The restart process takes about 2-3 minutes.)
If it doesn't work, please provide us some pictures to show the issues and the IMEI number on the back of your T1 for us to check.
(Or you can find it by clicking on "Setting - System Settings - About this Translator".)
