Transly: live voice translation, video subtitles and a translation keyboard. Understand what you hear and say what you mean. Transly brings five translation modes together for classes, face-to-face conversations, foreign-language videos, messages and emails. LIVE SPEECH TRANSLATION Choose the spoken language and your translation language, then start the microphone. Read the original text alongside the translation as you listen to a lecture, presentation or guided tour. Adjust the subtitle display to suit you, and listen to translated speech where the selected output mode supports it. Clear audio and a stable connection help you follow along. TWO-WAY CONVERSATIONS Set a language for each person and take turns speaking using one phone. View the conversation and its translation when asking for directions, checking into a hotel or explaining what you need. Check names, addresses and numbers together before relying on them. LOCAL VIDEO TRANSLATION Select a video from Photos or Files, choose its language and watch with translated subtitles. Follow a saved course, interview or training video while comparing the original and translated text. “Local video” means a video you select from your files; translation still requires an internet connection. TRANSLATE FROM YOUR KEYBOARD In apps that allow third-party keyboards, switch to Transly, choose a target language and tap the microphone. Speak, confirm, and insert the translation into the current text field. Review or edit it before sending. Choose a natural, formal or casual style for a work email or a message to a friend. To understand a reply, copy the message and paste it into the keyboard’s reading mode. Read the translation, then switch back to speaking to write your answer. Follow the in-app setup instructions first. Password fields and some apps do not allow third-party keyboards. TRANSLATE AUDIO ACROSS APPS Start the system broadcast from Transly, return to the app playing your video or audio, and follow the translation in a picture-in-picture subtitle window. This translates audio the system can capture, rather than every word on your screen. Protected media, calls and some apps may block audio capture. SAVE AND REVISIT Review supported translation records, share text or export SRT subtitles. Choose original, translated or bilingual content where available, then use it for study notes or in tools that support SRT files. TRY IT FIRST Keyboard voice input and translation include a free allowance of 2,000 characters. Check Transly plans in the app for current prices, available allowances and the features included. This is not unlimited free access to every feature. Translation requires an internet connection and the relevant microphone, keyboard or broadcast permissions. Results depend on audio quality, accent, speaking speed and context. Review important details before using or sending a translation.

About

Raid

Features
Read full description

Raid turns a study session into a train ride you take with other people. Choose how long you want to focus, invite your friends with a six letter boarding code, and depart together. The journey runs on a live map, everyone watches the same countdown, and the whole crew arrives at the same station. RIDE TOGETHER Host a ride and share a boarding code, or invite friends directly from the app. Everyone sees the same route, the same clock and the same arrival. Rest stops are built into longer journeys, so a break is part of the timetable rather than a failure. TALK IN THE CABIN Every ride has a cabin chat, plus a live voice line you can join with one tap. Audio only, never recorded. CREWS AND THE WORLD BOARD Name a crew, share its code and climb a crew board that only counts rides you took together. A world board ranks every rider, and only minutes with your doors locked count. Climb the rank ladder from Passenger upward and unlock new travelcard designs. Watch live trains cross your city's map, pinch out to the whole world, and tap a train to see who is aboard. LOCK THE DOORS Pick the apps that distract you and seal them for the length of a ride. The selection is made in Apple's own picker and never leaves your iPhone. Slipping into a sealed app is always possible, but it costs the train time, and your crew sees the delay. KEEP WHAT YOU EARN Every arrival prints a ticket stub recording the route, the train, your seat and the people you rode with. Longer journeys print on rarer stock. After every sealed ride, tear open a souvenir packet and collect cards across four lines. Locomotives in the depot are unlocked by the distance you travel, never by payment. PLAN AHEAD Schedule departures with friends for later in the day or the week. Build a timetable you actually keep, and watch your streak and total distance grow. Raid is free to download. First Class and Supervision Passes are optional auto-renewable subscriptions. Focusing is easier when somebody is waiting for you at the other end.
