## What is Talking Translator?

Translator Duo turns your phone into an interpreter for two people. You start talking and the translation appears before you finish the sentence — the other person is already reading.

It works with no internet. Speech and text are translated on the device itself, so it holds up on a plane, abroad without a local SIM, and anywhere the signal runs out.

What it does
• Speech recognition in 59 languages
• Translation that keeps pace with your speech
• Punctuation added on its own
• Dialogue mode: two people take turns, each reads their own half of the screen
• Photo translation: snap a menu, a shop sign or a street sign — the translation lands right on top of the text, in its place
• Live camera translation: point the camera and the words change as you go
• Recognized text can be edited in both halves of the screen
• The translation read out loud, automatically if you like
• History with search and favorites
• Dark theme
• No ads

How to use it
1. Pick the two languages
2. Tap the bottom microphone for yourself and the top one for the other person
3. Text and translation appear as you speak

To use it offline, download the language once — over Wi-Fi, in a few taps.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2025-02-15*

Traduce mal,es mucho el traductor de goggle

**Developer response:** Tienes razón: el traductor de Google en línea sigue siendo más preciso. Nosotros traducimos en el propio dispositivo, sin enviar tu voz ni tu texto a ningún servidor, y por eso funciona sin conexión. En la última actualización cambiamos el motor de traducción y la diferencia se nota, sobre todo entre idiomas europeos. Si vuelves a probarla, cuéntanos qué par de idiomas te falló.

Un saludo, el equipo de Translator Duo

### 5/5 — Type

*2024-11-03*

Bin begeistert von der Sprachfunktion! Macht das Kommunizieren einfacher und die Übersetzungen sind sehr präzise. Perfekt für die tägliche Nutzung und auf Reisen.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank! Genau dafür ist die App gemacht — unterwegs, auch ohne Netz. In der neuesten Version erscheint die Übersetzung schon während des Sprechens.

Viele Grüße, das Team von Translator Duo

Mit dieser App fühle ich mich sicherer in fremden Ländern. Die Sprachübersetzung ist präzise und verständlich, macht Reisen viel einfacher und entspannter. Sehr hilfreich!

**Developer response:** Danke, das freut uns sehr. In der neuesten Version erscheint die Übersetzung bereits während Sie sprechen, und offline funktioniert noch mehr.

Viele Grüße, das Team von Translator Duo

### 1/5 — No point

*2024-08-23*

You can’t do anything without paying for the subscription? You can’t even do typing translations, nothing?? What’s the point of making it a free app when you get absolutely nothing for free?

### 1/5 — Can’t figure it out, can’t use it.

*2024-08-02*

See above

**Developer response:** Sorry about that — if it isn't obvious, that's our fault, not yours. It works like this: pick the two languages in the middle of the screen, then tap the microphone at the bottom for yourself and the one at the top for the person you're talking to. The text and the translation appear as you speak. The latest update redesigns that screen; if something still doesn't add up, tell us where you got stuck.

Best regards, the Translator Duo team

### 1/5 — Japan

*2024-03-14*

Going to go to Japan I thought this would be good downloaded the app and told me I have to pay money one star

### 5/5 — Good app

*2023-10-29*

great app, I like it, very convenient

**Developer response:** Thank you! The latest update brings translation that appears while you are still speaking, and all of it works without an internet connection.

Best regards, the Translator Duo team

Супер

**Developer response:** Спасибо! В свежем обновлении перевод появляется прямо во время речи и работает без интернета.

С уважением, команда Translator Duo

### 5/5 — Sofia

*2023-10-18*

This translator app is my go-to choice for all my language needs. The translations from English to Spanish are consistently accurate, and it's incredibly reliable. It has saved me in countless situations during my travels.

### 1/5 — No automatic sound

*2023-05-21*

Cannot see any settings to have the sound on for translation all the time. Have to click on sound icon every time. If this works this way it’s not worth paying for.
