Description
Team Banana Stand presents to you GlobeChat.io! Check it out!
We also have a Koding VM URL!
GlobeChat.io is a video chatting service that lets you talk to anyone in the world. There are many like it (Omegle and ChatRoulette) but where we differ from them is that we also provide translation. So, really, you can talk to anyone in the world!
First, you select a language that you will speak in. Then, invite someone to chat with you.
As you speak, your chat buddy will receive a text translation of everything you say and type, in their langauge.
But, what do I talk to them about? We've got you covered! On the right pane, you can find information about your new friend's area!
