## What is Tolq?

Tolq is an interpreter in your pocket — and a notebook that writes itself.

Speak freely, and hear the translation read aloud in a natural voice. Tolq detects which language is spoken and translates the right way, between Norwegian and 99 languages.

AN INTERPRETER THAT WAITS FOR YOU
• You decide when you are done speaking — thinking pauses never cut you off
• Automatic direction: fully hands-free if you want
• One chosen voice speaks every language
• Full-screen view for the other person and a repeat button

RECORDINGS THAT BECOME FINISHED WORK
• Record meetings and lectures for hours, even with the screen locked
• Automatic transcript with speaker labels and timestamps
• Ready-made summary and translation, plus built-in chat with the recording
• Export as PDF, Word or Markdown

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Recordings stay on your phone; audio is deleted once the text is ready
• No account, no ads, no tracking

SUBSCRIPTION
Tolq Pro: NOK 149/month (7-day free trial) or NOK 1,290/year. Renews automatically until cancelled; manage in App Store settings.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.1 — 2026-09-02

• The interpreter now detects which language is spoken — direction and read-aloud always match
• The voice sounds identical on every turn
• Minor improvements and bug fixes

### 1.5 — 2026-09-01

• Tolken hører nå selv hvilket språk som snakkes — retningen og opplesningen treffer riktig språk
• Stemmen høres lik ut på hver eneste tur, også med Bluetooth
• Tydelig beskjed hvis naturlig stemme ikke er tilgjengelig — aldri stille stemmebytte
• Bedre norsk transkribering i tolken
• Raskere svar og feilrettinger

### 1.4 — 2026-08-20

• Ryddigere visning av ferdige opptak
• Mindre forbedringer og feilrettinger

### 1.3 — 2026-08-14

Lange opptak: referat og chat fungerer nå også for opptak på flere timer. Opptak over ca. 4 timer får tydelig beskjed før opplasting, i stedet for en feil etterpå. Bedre feilmeldinger når noe ikke kan løses ved å prøve på nytt.

### 1.2 — 2026-08-06

Engelsk språkstøtte: Tolq følger nå språket på telefonen, og skriver referater og oversettelser på det samme språket. Vil du ha appen på engelsk, endrer du det under iOS-innstillingene for Tolq.

Rettelser rundt abonnement: gratisperioden vises kun til dem som faktisk får den, og appen finner nå tilbake til abonnementssiden hvis tilgangen faller bort — i stedet for å bli stående med en feilmelding.
