About

Nuance Translate

Features
Read full description

Nuance is a keyboard that translates the way you'd actually say it. Type in your language. Switch to Nuance with the globe key. Tap Translate. Send. TWO MODES • QUICK — instant on-device translation via Apple's framework. No internet needed. Works for short messages, signs, menus, in-the-moment exchanges. • SMART — tone-aware AI translation that adjusts for context. Pick a tone (Friendly, Professional, Direct, Warm) and Nuance rewrites your message the way a native speaker actually would, in the target language and register. DESIGNED FOR REAL CONVERSATIONS • Reply suggestions: three ways to respond, in their language and yours • Conversation memory: Nuance remembers names, roles, and the thread you're on • Cultural translation: tone adjusts for context — formal, casual, business • Voice-to-text dictation via the microphone key • Pronunciation playback — long-press any translation to hear it spoken • 30+ languages, no account, no sign-in, no email required QUICK MODE IS PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Quick mode runs entirely on your device. Nothing is sent to any server. SMART MODE OPT-IN Smart mode uses a 3rd-party AI service (DeepSeek) for tone-aware translation. The text you choose to translate is sent over HTTPS for processing. Nothing else is collected. WHO IT'S FOR • Anyone messaging across languages — friends, family, colleagues, customers • Travelers and expats handling daily life in another language • Schwarzman scholars, business teams, and exchange students • Anyone who's tired of literal Google Translate-style awkwardness WHY NUANCE Translation isn't just words — it's tone, register, and context. Nuance is the keyboard that translates the way you'd actually say it, not the way a textbook would. One italic ñ. One tilde. One inflection.
