Chuchotage is a personal speech translation utility for iPhone and iPad. Start a session, choose the language you want to hear, and Chuchotage automatically detects the source language while translating speech in real time. Sign in to Chuchotage for included translation credits, or use your own OpenAI API key. Account audio passes through Chuchotage's secure relay to OpenAI and is not stored; API-key sessions connect directly to OpenAI. Chuchotage has no ads or analytics SDKs. Features: - Realtime speech translation - Automatic source-language detection - Settings-selected output language - iPhone, iPad, or headset microphone input - Credentials stored on device - No ads or analytics SDKs During an active translation session, selected audio and translation settings are sent through the Chuchotage relay to OpenAI in account mode, or directly to OpenAI in API-key mode. Chuchotage does not store audio or transcripts. When translation is stopped, audio capture stops. Chuchotage is for personal realtime translation support and may not be perfect. Important conversations should be checked with a qualified human interpreter.
