TakeTaxi - HK Taxi Translator
You won't need screenshots of hotel addresses, unreadable business cards, or confusing conversations with your driver. With TakeTaxi, you can take any taxi you see and be on your way.
★ App Features ★
‣ Search in English, get results in Cantonese
‣ View the estimated taxi fare, distance, and duration of your ride
‣ Star your favorite locations for faster viewing
‣ Save quick-access locations onto the app's main screen
‣ Learn the Cantonese pronunciation in Jyutping and Yale
(Note that all prices, times, routes, etc., are estimates and may differ from the route your driver chooses and/or traffic. GPS function must be enabled to access these features and to save routes to your trip history. Some addresses may not translate; if so, we suggest searching for the building name.)

Every time I head for Hong Kong I make sure to download this app. It has facilitated travel in and around the city in ways I couldn't have easily accomplished without it, smoothly and seamlessly. It's simple to use and it's my go-to app when coming to Hong Kong!
Now loads addresses (thanks!), but back button/gesture no longer works. Back arrow on top left is in the most awkward spot. Seems to have been developed for iPhones.
A must have for non-Chinese speakers. I tell every new expat I meet. I would be willing to pay a few bucks for this. It should be download-able like Translate. There have been some outages recently, probably only when I need it.
Very helpful. But one thing I would appreciate if you could fix the voice translator function. Thank you.
Perfect app. Used to have issues explaining destination to taxi drivers, never again since I installed this app. Strongly recommend!
It never actually works and freezes constantly
Why can't change From place for planning purpose? Can't point to the map for selecting places easily.
First search of a very popular street resulted in no translation.
Great App to communicate with your taxi driver!
A must have app for those in HK.
Great app and very useful
very helpful thank you
Very practical app to communicate with HK taxi drivers when you don't know Cantonese and they can't understand English.
A very useful app to communicate with taxi drivers in Hong Kong. Easy to use and accurate. It would be great to have the Cantonese Yale street name under the Chinese name so that we can learn the street names too.
So convenient!! Great first round for this app. The concept is genius and definitely solves a unique yet prominent problem that Hong Kong expats like me face everyday.
amazing app. no need for chinese when taking taxi around hk!
Great app! Love that it includes Jyutping. Works so quickly and flawlessly. Would it be possible to make the Chinese text selectable? It would be nice to be able to practice common destinations in Pleco. Thanks for the great work!
