You met someone who doesn't speak your language. Aeva makes that stop mattering. Write in your language. They read it in theirs. They answer in theirs, you read it in yours. After a few days you both forget the translation is there — it just feels like talking. This is not a translator you have to open, paste into, and copy back out. It's a chat that is already in your language. FOR THE CONVERSATIONS WORTH THE TROUBLE • A partner on the other side of a language • Family and in-laws you never shared a language with • Someone you met traveling and lost to the barrier • Friends, group chats, anyone — it works the same way VOICE, NOT JUST TEXT Send a voice message in your language. They hear it in theirs, spoken out loud in a natural voice, matched to how you sound. Recorded, transcribed and translated on its own — you just press record. WHAT YOU GET • Every message translated both ways, instantly • Voice messages turned into real spoken audio in their language • 21 languages • Photos, videos, files and group chats • Messages encrypted where they're stored • Polls — ask once, and everyone reads the question and the answers in their own language • Round video notes, dubbed the way voice messages are • Voice commands — find a chat, open it, dictate a message, without typing HONEST ABOUT THE COST Translation runs on Google Gemini, and that costs real money — so Aeva runs on credits rather than burying it in a subscription you forget you have. New accounts start with free credits, enough for hundreds of messages. You pay only for what you actually translate. 21 LANGUAGES English (US and UK), Russian, Ukrainian, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Norwegian, Bulgarian, Turkish, Arabic (and Algerian Arabic), Hindi, Bengali, Urdu, Chinese, Japanese, Korean
