## What is PairSay?

PairSay turns face-to-face conversations into live bilingual captions. Place the phone between two speakers and see each side's words transcribed and translated in real time—no audio playback, just text.

Features:
- Real-time speech-to-text and translation
- Auto-detect the language, or choose your pair (Chinese, English, Japanese, Spanish); your manual choice takes priority
- See the original text alongside the translation and correct it as you talk
- Pause and resume, or type when you prefer not to speak
- Export a local text record when you choose to save

PairSay is a practical aid for cross-language conversation. Automated recognition and translation may be incomplete or incorrect, so confirm important details in person.

Free limited usage per install, then choose a weekly, monthly, or yearly auto-renewing subscription (subscriptions do not include an additional free trial). Prices are the local store prices shown in the App.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-09-28

PairSay 1.4 fixes what we found while filming our own demo.

- The first words of a conversation are no longer lost: speech is kept while the app is still connecting and sent as soon as it is ready.
- Translations now take the conversation so far into account, so a price such as "二十八块" reads as "28 yuan", not "28 pieces".
- The language chips at the top fit on every iPhone and in every interface language: "Chinese" instead of a clipped "Chinese, Simplified".

Recognition and translation can be wrong; confirm important details in person.

### 1.3 — 2026-09-22

PairSay 1.3 simplifies the screen and keeps your past conversations.

- A simpler top bar: the two language chips, face-to-face, past conversations, and one menu for everything else.
- One button: Start and Stop. Stopping keeps every caption on screen; starting again continues the same conversation.
- Past conversations are folded away, not deleted: a row at the top opens them. They stay on this phone for 90 days, are never uploaded, and a switch in the menu turns this off.
- A lost connection is retried on its own, with the bar saying so; the network is only blamed once the retries run out.
- Language names appear in your interface language, with the local name below.
- Changing your own language mid-conversation now takes effect immediately.

Recognition and translation can be wrong; confirm important details in person.

### 1.2 — 2026-09-20

PairSay 1.2 rebuilds the conversation screen and widens the languages it understands.

- Redesigned conversation screen: newest sentence stays at the bottom and no longer flickers while it is being spoken.
- Automatic language discovery across 63 conversation languages; hearing one sentence is usually enough, and a third language can be switched with one tap.
- A manual choice stays in force until you change it.
- Sixteen interface languages, with Traditional Chinese captions for Chinese (Taiwan) and Chinese (Hong Kong).
- Numbers are kept as digits and marked on both lines.
- Reworked typing, including typing for the other person, and a reworked face-to-face view.
- Failures appear as calm hints instead of error screens.

Recognition and translation can be wrong; confirm important details in person.
