They need no app and no account. SOUND LIKE YOURSELF IN EVERY LANGUAGE Record a short sample in Voice Studio and SpeakShift learns your voice. The other side then hears the translation in a voice that sounds like you, not a robot. TALK FACE TO FACE Put the phone between you and anyone and speak across languages in person.
