The app that makes you fluent in Beijing addresses!

Taking a taxi in Beijing can be quite a hassle. Most taxi drivers don’t speak English. Or to rephrase that, the majority of tourists and foreigners in the city do not know any Mandarin.

The Beijing Taxi Translator solves this problem. With over 1000 streets, hundreds of buildings and hotels and hundreds of other destinations the app will make anyone fluent in Beijing addresses.
And best of all – it works off line!

Create unique Taxi Cards for millions of destinations.

Let us say that you are going to 72 HongLian Road, and your attempts to pronounce the name doesn’t impress your driver. Open the app, search for the street, add the street number or a crossing and in a matter of seconds you can display a Taxi Card with the address in Simplified Chinese and Pinyin.

If it is an address you visit frequently you can name it and save it to favorites and you can share it by SMS or e-mail. Should you be missing something you can add your own content and suggest it for the next update.
