Alketo interprets a conversation as it happens, translates text from a photo and puts people who do not share a language in one room. 56 languages. What you translate is never stored on our servers. Your history stays on your phone. WHAT IT DOES • LIVE INTERPRETER Speak normally and the translation keeps up. With headphones you hear it without touching the phone. • A CONVERSATION BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE Each of you gets a button and the app switches between the languages on its own. • TRANSLATE FROM A PHOTO Menus, signs, packaging, paperwork. The text is read on the phone itself — the photo goes nowhere. • A WHOLE PAGE AT ONCE A contract, an official letter or a manual in a language you do not read. The page is translated as one, technical wording included — and numbers, dates and units stay exactly as written. • GROUP ROOM Several people, each in their own language. A six-digit code is all it takes. • SUBTITLES Large text for someone hard of hearing, or for a noisy place. • YOUR OWN GLOSSARY Names, brands and specialist terms come out the way you want them, every time. • DOUBLE CHECK On a translation that matters, the text goes through a second time and points out where the meaning could have shifted. ACCESSIBILITY Subtitles are in the free version on purpose. Someone who cannot hear should not have to buy large text. The app can be operated with a screen reader. A finished translation is read out on its own, in the voice of its own language rather than the app's. PRIVACY What you translate is not stored on a server and not written to logs. Your history and your glossary live on your phone only. There are no accounts, we never ask for your name or e-mail, we do not track you across apps and there are no ads. FREE AND PREMIUM Free: 40 translations and 4 minutes of live interpreting a month, 3 document pages, a glossary of up to 10 terms, history and subtitles. Nothing is locked behind a trial. Premium unlocks a glossary of 40 terms, more saved phrases, the second-pass accuracy check, regional dialects and share cards without a watermark. It also raises the monthly allowances to 400 translations, 60 minutes of live interpreting and 10 document pages. Longer texts count by length: every 500 characters is one translation, a photo counts by the text on it (at least two) and a document by its pages. When our server recognizes speech, a minute of interpreting counts as two. Monthly or yearly, and the App Store shows the price in your own currency. The subscription renews automatically and can be cancelled at any time in your store settings.

In Simultaneous, turn on hands-free and "Take turns automatically", and the phone can lie on the table between you. • "Try it" says each language's name in its earbud, and "Swap sides" fixes a mix-up. The app warns you when no headphones are connected or Mono Audio is on. • Made for two people who are happy to share a pair of earbuds. Available with or without Premium. Longer sentences in Simultaneous • With hands-free on, the translation starts after 2.5 seconds of silence, so a breath or a short pause no longer cuts you off. The other person hears it a moment later, but in one piece. Photo reads more languages • Photo now reads text in Russian and Ukrainian and, depending on your iOS version, in Arabic and Thai. Monthly allowances • Translations now count by length, roughly one per 500 characters, so an ordinary sentence is still one. • A photo counts as at least two translations, more if it has a lot of text. Document mode counts by pages of about 1,800 characters. • When our server has to recognize the speech because the phone can't, a minute counts as two. • Each month without Premium: 40 translations, 4 minutes of live interpreting and 3 documents. With Premium: 400 translations, 60 minutes and 10 documents. Settings shows what is left. • Documents can now be topped up too, 10 or 30 at a time, and translations in packs of 400. ### 1.4 — 2026-09-25 Spots numbers that changed in translation • Number check: when a number, time or amount in the translation differs from the original, the app highlights it and says what is missing. In Text, Photo, Voice, Simultaneous and Subtitles. • The group room can read messages aloud — everyone hears the translation in their own language. Best with headphones. • In the room you can turn on "Send at once": a dictated sentence goes out without checking it in the text field first. • An "I don't understand" button in Voice and Subtitles shows the sentence again in simpler words, in the language of the person who didn't understand. ### 1.3 — 2026-09-21 Voice previews behave properly now • A voice preview in Settings falls silent when you close the voice list or leave Settings. • Starting a new preview replaces the previous one instead of queueing behind it. ### 1.2 — 2026-09-10 Small fixes • The subscription screen now says exactly where a subscription is cancelled. • When there is no purchase to restore, the app says so more clearly. ### 1.1 — 2026-09-05 Interpreting got steadier • The simultaneous interpreter waits until you finish a sentence instead of cutting in halfway. • It no longer picks up its own voice, and a single hiccup no longer ends the session. • Speech recognition now also works in languages your phone cannot handle on its own. Subscription • Manage your subscription and see the renewal date in Settings. • A quiet note appears when Premium is about to end. Elsewhere • A photo translation always belongs to the picture in front of you. • The keyboard no longer covers what you are typing in Rooms and Subtitles. • Your translation history stays on the device and is left out of the phone's backup. • Long labels no longer spill out of their frame, and the launch screen shows the app name. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
