Parrot is a keyboard that translates as you type - right inside Messages, WhatsApp, Slack, Instagram, Mail, or any app with a text field. Type in your language, tap once, and your words go out translated. No copy-paste, no app-switching, no internet required. TRANSLATE AS YOU TYPE Parrot is a full system keyboard, so it goes wherever you type. Message a friend in another language, reply to a work chat, or post abroad - tap the flag and your message is translated in place. Long-press to switch languages on the fly. UNDERSTAND WHAT COMES BACK Got a reply in a language you don't read? Copy it, and Parrot shows you what it says in your own language - right above the keyboard, without leaving the chat. EVERYTHING HAPPENS ON YOUR DEVICE Parrot uses Apple's on-device translation, so your conversations never leave your phone. It works on a plane, on the subway, or anywhere with no signal - and nothing you type is ever sent to a server. • 100% offline translation (after a one-time language download) • Private by design - no accounts, no tracking, no data collection • Fast, because there's no round-trip to the cloud A KEYBOARD IN YOUR LANGUAGE Parrot isn't just for translating - it's a keyboard you'll want to type on every day. • Native layouts for Spanish (ñ), German (QWERTZ), French (AZERTY), Turkish, Russian and Ukrainian - plus Italian, Portuguese, Dutch and Polish, with accents a long-press away • Glide to type in English - swipe across the letters and Parrot spells the word out • Autocorrect and next-word predictions that learn how you write TRANSLATE IN 20 LANGUAGES Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Russian, Ukrainian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi and more - all on-device, all offline. --- Parrot Pro is available as a one-time purchase or monthly subscription. Translation requires a one-time language model download per language (handled automatically by iOS). Parrot needs "Allow Full Access" to translate on-device; your data is still never sent anywhere.
