Can Talkman help you score with foreigners?

It’s the age old question – Can Talkman for the PSP help you score with foreigners? Apparently, the game’s Japanese designer wanted a way of chatting up a Spanish girl that he liked, as he didn’t speak the language; and had a brainwave. Obviously the idea of chatting up members of the opposite sex whilst on holiday would be the only reason to use something like Talkman, so wouldn’t you like to know how effective it is? Gamespot decided to put this translation to test in the city of London.

The result is…rather unsuccessful. The chat up lines aren’t the best, and although I haven’t met the Japanese designer, I can’t imagine he has much success with women. Most of the time the software gets the phrases wrong, so if you are going to use this, I suggest you use the pre-defined conversations rather than the voice translation. As for the other person, just hope that they know how to use Talkman!

Besides, I don’t know any girls that would like any guy to shove a PSP in their face and start asking ‘where is your apartment’.
