## Abstract

A language converter and transmitting system includes a processor adapted for converting the first language into a plurality of secondary languages. An audio input is operationally coupled to the processor. An audio output of a media source may be operationally coupled to the audio input. A wireless transmitter is operationally coupled to the processor for transmitting each of the secondary languages. Each of the secondary languages is transmitted on one of a plurality of frequencies. Each of a plurality of receiving devices includes a receiver for receiving signals from the wireless transmitter. A tuner for selecting one of the plurality of frequencies is operationally coupled to the receiver. A sound emitter for emitting an audible sound is operationally coupled to the tuner. The tuner may be used to select one of said plurality of frequencies such that one of the plurality of secondary languages is emitted through the sound emitter.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A language converting system including:
a media source providing a first language, said media source including an audio output;
in a single housing;
a processor adapted for converting the first language into a plurality of secondary languages;
an audio input being operationally coupled to said processor, wherein the audio output of the media source may be operationally coupled to said audio input such that said processor receives the first language;
a wireless transmitter being operationally coupled to said processor for transmitting each of said plurality of secondary languages, each one of said plurality of secondary languages being transmitted on one of a plurality of frequencies;
a plurality of receiving devices, each of said receiving devices including;
a receiver for receiving signals from said wireless transmitter;
a tuner for selecting one of said plurality of frequencies, said tuner being operationally coupled to said receiver;
a sound emitter for emitting an audible sound being operationally coupled to said tuner; and
wherein said tuner may be used to select one of said plurality of frequencies such that one of said plurality of secondary languages is emitted through said sound emitter.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, further including an audio output being operationally coupled to said processor for selectively transmitting said first language from said processor.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein said sound emitter comprises a pair of headphones.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, further including a volume control being operationally coupled to said sound emitter.
