Being an expat in Hong Kong and trying to get around using a taxi has not always been smooth sailing. My pronunciation of the local address would not be correct and showing your driver the address on a map may take some time and frustration for both the driver and yourself.

This made me decide to take action and create a mobile app for those of us not familiar with the local language. Taxi Translator let’s you easily search for an address and show a clear, large taxi card to your driver.
