Loro translates offline what you hear and what you see. Speak in your language and your iPhone says it in the other. FIVE WAYS TO TRANSLATE - Voice: tap, speak and hear the translation. It translates automatically when you stop talking - Text: type or dictate a sentence and hear it in the other language - Conversation: the screen splits in two, one half for each person, to talk face to face - Camera: take a photo of a sign, a menu or a label, or pick one from your library, and read the translated text. Ask whatever you need to know (with Apple Intelligence) and get an answer in your own language - Headphones: you hear the translation in your headphones and the other person hears it through the speaker. The screen tells them when to talk OFFLINE Each language downloads once, over the internet. From then on, speech recognition and translation run locally on your iPhone, without using data. Made for when you have no internet or a weak signal: when you travel, on the plane, on the subway. 12 LANGUAGES English, Spanish, Italian, German, French, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional) and Hindi. ASK ABOUT THE PHOTO On iPhones with Apple Intelligence you can ask about the photo you just took: what dish it is, what the label says. The answer comes from the iPhone's own AI, and it can be wrong. PRIVATE What you say, type or photograph is processed on your iPhone, with Apple's frameworks. No account, no ads. Voice is free every day. Text, camera and the rest unlock with Loro Pro, with a 3-day free trial for new subscribers.
