The conversation mode doesn't translate continuously. It records sounds until it detects a pause, then it speaks the translation, and stops recording. you have to hit record AGAIN to start it up again, but by that time you've missed like 5 seconds of conversation. Horrible for translating a conversation between 2 people. Maybe if you are interviewing someone where there's predictable pause between question and answer, but for an actual conversation, this just doesn't work. It should continually record AND play back the translation as it keeps recording.
