MuniMobile vs DuoVox

The official trip planning and mobile ticketing app from San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA). MuniMobile helps you navigate the Muni transit network effortlessly and purchase and use fares and passes instantly on your phone—anywhere, anytime. Just download the free app, create an account and you're ready to go. WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS APP: • No paper fares to keep track of. • No need to carry cash, count exact change, or find a ticket machine. • Buy and use fares using a debit/credit card, PayPal or Apple Pay • Store multiple tickets on your phone for future use. • Pay a single fare or multiple fares for a group of riders from a single device. • Register your debit/credit card(s) in our secure system. HOW IT WORKS: 1. CHOOSE RIDER TYPE: Adult, Senior/Disabled/Medicare, Youth, or SF Access 2. CHOOSE FARE: Single Trip Fare for Muni Bus & Rail, Single Ride Fare for Cable Car, or Passports 3. CHOOSE QUANTITY: You can buy multiple tickets to use later 4. CHECK OUT: Pay with debit/credit card, PayPal or Apple Pay COMMON QUESTIONS: Q: Do I need to be connected to the Internet? A cellular network or a wireless Internet connection is required to purchase tickets, but you can use/activate your tickets offline. Q: What if my battery dies? Just like with paper tickets, you're responsible for making sure you have a valid fare at all times, so be sure to plan ahead! IMPORTANT REMINDERS: • Activate your ticket before boarding. • In the subway, activate (“use”) your purchased mobile ticket before passing through metro station fare gates. Show your active ticket to the station agent, and pass through the fare gate closest to the station agent booth. If the station agent is not present, you may still pass through the gate as long as your ticket has been activated. Do not attempt to “tag” the gate. • On the surface, use your purchased mobile ticket before boarding the vehicle. You may board through any door. If you feel more comfortable boarding through the front door to show your ticket to the transit operator, please feel free to do so. • For Cable Car, use your purchased mobile ticket once you are on board the vehicle. Show your mobile ticket to the Cable Car conductor. • Watch your battery level! Just like with paper tickets, you're responsible for making sure you have a valid fare at all times. • Create an account before purchasing tickets, as this is the only way you can transfer your unused tickets if you get a new phone. (Note: Only unused tickets can be transferred. Use up any activated tickets before switching phones.) • Don't uninstall the MuniMobile app or erase your phone without transferring your unused tickets first. Your tickets are stored on your phone (which makes it possible to use them without a cellular network or a wireless Internet connection).

DuoVox translates a conversation between two people sitting face to face, with a single phone resting on the table. The screen splits in half. Each person reads in their own language, and the other person's text is turned the right way: nobody has to hand over the phone or turn the screen. HOW IT WORKS • Pick a language for each side • Speak: the translation appears right away on the other side • Reply: the conversation flows as if you spoke the same language MADE FOR iPHONE DUO DuoVox adapts to Closed, Partially open, Open and tent poses, avoiding the hinge and the camera. It also works on iPhone. TWO PHONES Each person on their own phone, connected nearby (Bluetooth and Wi‑Fi, no internet needed). You speak your language; the other person reads and hears theirs and sees your avatar move its mouth. If they don't have the app, send them the link via AirDrop or Messages. Download the languages you need beforehand so nobody waits mid-conversation. FREE • Face-to-face translation • 2 translated messages per day for each person DUOVOX PRO (one-time purchase, no subscription) • Unlimited translations • Hands-free listening: the app works out who is speaking • People backdrop: the camera shows the two people behind their panels • Translations read aloud • Conversation button with two phones: continuous listening and automatic translation on the other phone, even for a TV PRIVACY Translation and speech recognition use Apple's systems, on the device wherever possible. Camera video is never saved or sent. With two phones, text only travels between the two devices, with no server; your face, video and audio are never sent. No account required. Available languages are those supported by Apple Translation; some require downloading a language pack the first time.
