HYPERDIA is a train timetable application that allows you to search using natural language spoken queries in either English or Japanese. For example, try a query like "Narita Airport to Shibuya station, last train." The search parameters will be set automatically, providing quick access to the train timetable information you are looking for. This can be particularly handy if you are a foreigner traveling in Japan for the first time, or simply prefer to see timetable information in English.

===Using Voice Search===
The English language voice search system supports "Departure station", "Arrival station", "last train", and "first train" input parameters. You may also specify time information.
The voice search functionality helps to eliminate otherwise difficult and time-consuming text input, particularly when entering the names of Japanese train stations. Voice search is also useful when you are in a hurry, or when its awkward to input text using the built-in keypad.
Stations with similar pronunciations will appear as alternative candidates, making it easy to select your desired station.
The application also supports telephone-style usage. You can simply lift the phone to your ear and speak your query as if you were having a normal telephone conversation.
Of course, it is also possible to specify your search parameters using the built-in keypad without using the voice functionality.
===Route Search===
Search for all JR lines, private lines, subways, streetcars and airports is supported.
Information including the shortest route, fares, commuter fares, and links to time information and maps is shown.
It is possible to filter results based on plane routes, shinkansen, and rapid lines, as well as JR versus private railways.
===Japanese version===
Both English and Japanese versions of the system are available. This allows the user to search the same set of nationwide Japanese stations in either English or Japanese using text or voice input. Note that the English-language voice system is tailored to American English accents.
===30 days Free Trial===
