Kevin Khani was visiting Japan from Germany. He tried out the VoiceBiz system recently after getting confused in Seibu's Shinjuku station. He said the translations were "spot on," which means they were exactly right.
He also said it is nice to see that there is a human working at the window. "So, you take your time to explain what you need, and you will know that they will understand what you need," he said.
The Seibu railway has been testing the VoiceBiz system for three months. After that time, the company will consider using it in additional stations.

The company believes the Shinjuku area is a good testing place. The busiest railway station in the world is nearby - 3.6 million people use the Japan Railway station in Shinjuku. Many people use the Seibu train to get to other trains and subways and go to other places in Tokyo or the rest of Japan. As a result, there is a high chance that someone gets lost or needs help.
French visitors Isabelle and Marc Rigaud used the help window to find their way from the Seibu station to the Japan Railway station. They had just gotten off an airplane at 1 in the morning, local time.
"It's very Japan," Isabelle said of the technology.
