‘Talking Phrasebooks’ by GrapeCity India has bagged the Handango Champion Award for Best Industry Application for the Pocket PC for 2005. The software is a Windows-mobile application for the international traveler going to non-English speaking countries.

India needs more such ISVs who understand the peculiarities of mobile phones and build applications around them. Unlike PCs, Indian mobile software companies don’t have to depend on the export market to begin or survive. India’s mobile infrastructure is ready and the domestic market hungry for content and applications beyond ringtones and games.

It also finds all entries in either language that contain the words or characters you’re searching for, and instantly shows the translation of any chosen English phrase in the native language or vice versa. One click and you can hear the translation out loud in a clear native voice.
