I'm going to France - Is there a good voice translator gadget?

I can't speak a word of French, but i am going there for a business meeting, i do have a translator person, but i would love to do some exploring on my own. Is there a good voice translation device|||I've never been a fan of translation devices. Often times, the grammar is very wrong. You're better off learning some basic phrases and bringing a dictionary.|||There are several but none that is perfect or entirely accurate, though the pronunciation is usually quite good. The Ectaco is the most popular, but the Speereo is also OK.

You do not say where you are going, but depending where, you may find that quite a few people have some notions of English and may help you, but do take a small phrase book and a dictionary with you as they are quite good since you can point to written things which may mean more to the natives than a bad oral translation. Enjoy your stay!
