"This is the first time I've truly understood what a TCM practitioner was saying." Recently, foreign blogger "Carlo Wu (Carlo)" shared an experience of seeing a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine on social media. This time, he brought the Qwen AI ear-clip earbuds, putting one on himself and one on the doctor, using face-to-face translation to help them communicate.
Carlo said in the video that he finds traditional medicine very interesting, but language has always been an obstacle. At the start of the consultation, the doctor asked where he felt unwell, and he gestured while saying "everything feels unwell." After putting on the earbuds, the two began to discuss his physical condition in more depth.
The doctor took his pulse and explained, while Carlo followed up with questions: were these conclusions drawn from observing the tongue and taking the pulse? Did he need acupuncture? During the conversation, he also mentioned that in his past understanding, massage was mainly for relaxation, whereas the TCM tuina he encountered this time seemed different. The doctor then gave him a further explanation.
Even after the consultation ended, Carlo's questions did not stop. He asked Qwen what "excessive dampness" means, and raised a daily-life request: after sitting for a long time, remind himself to stand up and move around.
Looking back on the experience, he said that in the past, when listening to doctors' explanations, he often had to rely on his own guesswork to fill in his understanding; this time, with the help of translation, he could better understand what the other person was saying. In the comments section, he also shared his impressions: "The most useful thing is not having to keep switching back and forth" and "Listen directly, translate directly, the whole conversation goes much more smoothly."
It is understood that the Qwen AI ear-clip earbuds support professional translation in 89 languages as well as multilingual AI real-time listening and transcription, and are now on sale across multiple e-commerce channels. The Qwen AI glasses N1Pro, launched at the same time, has also topped the Tmall smart glasses best-seller chart.
