Break the language barrier in real time. The Yap App lets two people who don't share a language have a natural, back-and-forth conversation. Speak or type in your language — Yap instantly transcribes, translates, and delivers the message in theirs, out loud and on screen. No more passing a phone back and forth or stumbling through a phrasebook. WHY YAP • Real conversations, both directions — turn-taking chat that detects the language, transcribes your speech, and translates it automatically. • Hear yourself in a new language — practice solo and hear your words read back in a natural voice (or even your own cloned voice). • Connect with anyone, anywhere — scan a QR code to start a live remote conversation. Messages, typing, and read receipts sync instantly, and each person reads in their own language. • Group conversations — chat with up to 8 people who each read and write in their own language, with a distinct voice per speaker. • Sign Scanner — point your camera at a menu, sign, or label and get an instant translation you can read and hear. • Live Mode — go hands-free. Pop in earbuds and let Yap route each speaker to a channel for a flowing, real-time interpreted conversation. 37 LANGUAGES From English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and Hindi to classical and just-for-fun languages — with natural text-to-speech in the major ones. BUILT WITH PRIVACY IN MIND Your conversations are yours. AI processing runs on secure servers — no third-party AI keys live in the app — and we never use your conversations or recordings to train general-purpose AI models or for advertising. Sign in with Apple, Google, or email and start yapping. Whether you're traveling, welcoming a new neighbor, talking with family across a language gap, or learning something new — Yap helps you understand and be understood.
