SPEAK. DON'T TYPE. DON'T WAIT. Most translation apps turn your voice into text, translate the text, then read it back to you. Three steps, three delays, and your tone lost somewhere in the middle. Lorvo does it in one. Your voice goes in, the other person's language comes out, in under a second. Whether you are asking for directions in Tokyo, reading a menu in Lisbon or negotiating a price in Marrakech, Lorvo steps between you and the person in front of you, then gets out of the way. THE COMPLETE TRANSLATION TOOLKIT Voice, camera and text translation in one app, each built for a different moment. Live Voice Translator: Put the phone between you and start talking. Lorvo hears both sides, works out who is speaking which language, and answers out loud in the other person's language. No buttons, no turns, no typing. Camera Translator: Point at a menu, a street sign, a ticket or a box of medicine. Snap it and read the translation on a clean card under the photo. AI Text Translator: Type it or dictate it. The translation streams in word by word, with alternative phrasings and real usage examples underneath. Tone and Formality Control: Tell Lorvo whether this is a work email or a message to a friend, and the translation changes with it. TWO SPEEDS OF CONVERSATION Not every conversation moves at the same pace, so you choose. Instant Mode: Translation starts flowing before you finish your sentence. Built for quick exchanges, street directions, ordering, shopping. Wait For Sentence Mode: Lorvo waits until you stop, then translates your sentence whole. Built for the moments where being understood exactly matters. Negotiations, meetings, a doctor's appointment. SEE THE DIFFERENCE Word for word translation breaks on idioms. Lorvo reads the meaning. Literal: "Ça coûte les yeux de la tête" becomes "It costs the eyes of the head." Lorvo: "It costs an arm and a leg." Literal: "Estoy en las nubes" becomes "I am in the clouds." Lorvo: "I am over the moon." THE THIRD LANGUAGE FILTER Crowded places break voice translators. The table next to you talks, the app translates them too, and your conversation falls apart. Lorvo stays quiet unless it hears one of the two languages you picked. You will notice it in a busy cafe, on a bus, in an airport terminal. A CAMERA THAT POINTS BACK Other apps paste labels over your photo until you can read neither the picture nor the translation. Lorvo keeps them apart and connects them with a touch. Tap a line in the translation and Lorvo shows you where it sits in the photo. Tap a line in the photo and it takes you to the translation. That is how you find out which price belongs to which dish. PERFECT FOR International travel and airports Restaurants, menus and markets Business meetings and negotiations Doctor visits and pharmacies Taxis, hotels and check in desks Meeting people and making friends abroad WHY CHOOSE LORVO? Voice to voice translation with no text step in between 78 languages for live conversations Two conversation modes for fast talk and careful talk A third language filter that keeps strangers out of your conversation Camera translation linked to the photo by touch Alternative phrasings and usage examples on every text translation Tone, formality and length settings No account, no sign up, no email required GLOBAL LANGUAGE SUPPORT English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Turkish, Arabic, Persian, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian and 58 more. SUBSCRIPTION Live voice conversations, camera translation and voice dictation require an active subscription. Text translation is free to use with a daily allowance; full functionality is available with a paid subscription. Download Lorvo and talk to people while looking them in the eye.
