Family Interpreter: Kaina

Kaina is an interpreter for families who do not speak the same language. It listens to what is said, translates it, and speaks the translation out loud. It is like having a personal interpreter with you: at the dinner table, on a call with family abroad, during a bedtime story, or at the airport in front of an immigration officer. AROUND ME When the people around you speak a language you do not understand, Kaina listens and shows you what they are saying, in your own language, as they speak. To answer, speak in your language. Kaina says your words out loud in the language of the people around you. WITH THE LITTLE ONE For a grandparent and a grandchild who do not share a language. The grandparent speaks, and Kaina says the words out loud for the child. The child answers, and Kaina shows the grandparent what was said, and reads it out, in their own language. WITH SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT HAVE KAINA At the airport, in front of an immigration officer whose questions you cannot follow, place your phone between the two of you. The officer's questions are shown on your half of the screen, in your language. Your answers are shown on the officer's half, in the officer's language, turned around so that they can read them from their side. No app is needed on their side, and nobody has to hold the phone. CALLS AND MESSAGES Video calls, voice calls, messages and photos with family abroad. Each person reads and hears the conversation in their own language. Calls, messages and photos are encrypted end to end: only the phones in your family can read them. YOUR FAMILY'S WORDS Add your family's names and the words you use at home, so that Kaina spells and pronounces them the way your family does. For example: a grandchild's name, "Madalynn", stays Madalynn instead of being written as Madeline. "Babaanne", what a child calls their father's mother in Turkish, is kept as it is instead of being translated as "grandmother". A word your family uses for "potty" is translated the way you taught it. READ WHAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU Point the camera at a sign, a menu or a letter, and tap the writing you want translated. PLANS Your first 30 minutes of interpreting are free. After that, choose a plan. Every plan starts with 7 days free. • Kaina Family: up to 6 people, 8 hours of conversation a month, shared by the family • Extended family: up to 12 people, 16 hours a month • Kaina Personal: one person, 5 hours a month One person pays for the whole family; nobody else sees a price. Anyone in the family can add extra hours. Without a plan, Kaina continues with the iPhone's own speech recognition and translation, which miss more words and translate less accurately. The camera and messages are always free. Subscriptions renew automatically each month or year unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can cancel at any time in your Apple Account settings. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or when the free week ends. PRIVACY Kaina asks for your permission first. With your permission, the sound of what is said is sent to Soniox (or to Microsoft, when Soniox cannot be reached) to be written down as text, and the text is sent to AI services to be translated. Kaina has no accounts and no advertising, and it keeps no recordings. Kaina translates between English, Turkish, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Greek and Chinese. ACCURACY Kaina uses automatic speech recognition and machine translation, and it will make mistakes: a word may be misheard, and a sentence may be translated wrongly. Do not rely on Kaina alone where a mistake could cause harm. Confirm medical information, including medicine names and doses, with a doctor or pharmacist, and legal, financial, immigration and safety matters with a qualified person or an official interpreter.
