Read full description

Zado — the messenger that speaks every language. Your family in another country, a team without a shared language, someone you met on the road… Zado translates as you talk, so nobody has to switch languages. MESSAGES IN YOUR LANGUAGE Every incoming message appears in your language, with the original right next to it. Listen to voice messages in your language, too. MULTILINGUAL GROUPS Everyone writes in their own language, and everyone reads in their own language. LIVE CAPTIONS ON VIDEO CALLS What the other person says appears on your screen in your language. On group calls, each speaker's words appear on their own line, with their name. VOICE TRANSLATION Hear the other person in your own language on one-on-one calls. You choose how much of the original voice you hear. FACE-TO-FACE INTERPRETER Put your cell phone between you and talk. Zado listens to both sides and gives each translation both in writing and out loud. You can also translate signs, menus, and documents with your camera. VIDEOS AND IMAGES, TRANSLATED TOO Watch the videos you receive in chats with subtitles in your language, and translate the text in photos, too. 100+ LANGUAGES WE DON'T KEEP YOUR MESSAGES Text messages are deleted from our servers 2 minutes after they are read. Photos, videos, and documents are deleted 7 days after they are read, and anything that is never read is deleted within 30 days at the latest. Your chat history stays on your device. Cloud backup is optional; if you turn it on, a copy of your chats is kept on our servers until you delete it. A COMPLETE MESSENGER One-on-one and group chats; voice messages, photos, videos and documents; voice, video and group calls. In chats, on calls or face to face — Zado removes the language barrier everywhere. ZADO ASSISTANT Ask questions, have it write or improve text, or make a plan. It searches the web for current topics and replies in whatever language you write in. FREE AND PREMIUM Message translation is free. Live captions, voice translation, the interpreter, translation of voice messages, videos, and images, and the assistant come with limits in the free version; Zado Premium removes these limits.
