Jibbigo voice translators have been available for Apple iPhones since 2009, and were the first apps in the category of ?Speech-to-Speech Translators? ? users simply speak into the phone in one language, and the statement is automatically translated and repeated aloud in another language. Jibbigo is the only app of its kind that functions without an internet or cell phone connection ? enabling users to communicate in foreign countries without the fear of losing connectivity or the risk of incurring high roaming charges.

In May 2010, Apple featured Jibbigo in international television campaigns for the iPhone, and the Jibbigo Japanese-English translator become a top-selling app in Japan within the first two weeks of its launch.
