## What is LOKAI?

Translate offline. No account, no network, nothing to download for translation.
Text, camera OCR, and voice — all of it runs on your iPhone.
Requires an iPhone with 8 GB of RAM (iPhone 15 Pro or later).

BEFORE YOU INSTALL
· The app includes a 2.5 GB AI model, so the download is large and one-time.
· LOKAI is AI translation, and AI can make mistakes. It is built for travel,
  study, and everyday reading — not for medical, legal, or contractual
  decisions. Check anything that matters.

LOKAI carries an AI translation model inside the app. Install it once and it
works on a plane, in a subway, or in a country where your data doesn't.

CHOOSE THE TONE
Most translators give you one answer. LOKAI gives you the register you actually
need — formal, neutral, or casual. "Can you send me the file?" becomes a polite
business request or a note to a friend: Korean honorifics, Japanese keigo,
German Sie/du, French vous/tu, Spanish usted/tú.

OCR THAT READS IN PLACE
Point the camera at a sign or a menu, or pick a photo you already took. The
translation is laid over the original where the text was, so you read it in
place instead of scrolling a list.

WHAT'S INSIDE
· One AI model that handles all 19 languages — no per-language packs
· Three tone levels for every translation
· Camera and photo OCR, translated in place
· Voice input — iOS 26 or later, 10 languages. This uses Apple's speech
  recognition, so each language needs a one-time pack downloaded from
  Settings (about 130 MB each, up to 5 at a time)
· Read the result aloud
· The interface itself speaks all 19 languages

NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE
There is no server. What you type, photograph, or say is translated on the
device and never sent anywhere. Airplane mode changes nothing.

LOKAI touches the network in only two cases: buying or restoring LOKAI Pro,
and downloading Apple's speech packs if you choose to use voice input.

FREE AND PAID
Free: 100-character input, 5 image translations per day.
LOKAI Pro removes both limits with a single purchase — not a subscription, no
renewal. Translation quality, the 19 languages, and tone control are the same
either way. The purchase lifts volume limits only.
