Learn languages by speaking, not just studying. NEON is a language exchange app that connects you with people around the world through one-on-one voice calls. With just one tap, you can instantly connect with someone who is online. During the call, the other person's speech appears on your screen as real-time translated subtitles. Even if your language skills are still developing, starting a conversation feels much easier. Why NEON is different Real-time translated subtitles Even when the other person speaks in their native language, translated subtitles are displayed in your language in real time. There is no need to open a separate transcription or translation app. Just focus on the conversation. Instant matching No complicated friend search is required. Tap a button on the home screen to instantly connect with someone who is currently online. You can also use filters such as interests, country, age range, and gender to find people you want to talk to.

Chat messages can be viewed in both the original language and the translated version. Voice Rooms Join open voice rooms where multiple people can talk together. Meet people with similar interests, enjoy casual conversations, and use mini games to make the first conversation more comfortable.
