SofiLingo is a translation app for iPhone, made for travel. Point your camera at a sign, talk with someone, or type a phrase, and read it in your language — with or without a signal. KEY FEATURES • Scan menus, signs and shop labels, and translate them instantly • Translate live conversations as they happen • Translate your speech and theirs • Translate typed text • 58 common languages supported • The app itself is available in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Polish, Ukrainian, Turkish, Arabic, Japanese and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional) • Offline translation • No account needed, to protect your privacy WHO IT HELPS • Travellers — read a menu, a train timetable or a pharmacy label without hunting for wifi or paying roaming charges. • Newcomers to a country — understand letters, forms and signs, and follow what is said at the doctor's, the school or the council office. • Volunteers, carers and front-desk staff — talk face to face with people who don't share your language. • Anyone with a trip ahead — download your languages before you go and translate with no signal. THE FEATURES IN BRIEF SCAN — Point the camera at a menu, sign or label and tap the text to translate it. Every scan is saved, so you can find it again later. LIVE CONVERSATIONS — Put the phone on the table and read what the other person says in your language, a moment after they say it. Nothing is recorded. SPEECH — Say a phrase and hear it spoken in their language, and they can reply the same way. Your iPhone can listen in about half of the 58 languages, and SofiLingo tells you before you start. TEXT — Type a phrase and show your screen to the person you're talking to. 58 LANGUAGES — Translate between any two of them. sofilingo.com/languages shows what works in each one. OFFLINE — Download languages over wifi and typed translation works with no signal in all 58. The camera reads 25 languages offline; in the others, the photo is kept and translated when you're back online. PRICING — Your first 15 translations are free. Watch a short video for 15 more, or buy a 14-day Holiday pass: one payment, no ads, nothing to cancel. PRIVACY • No account, sign-up or email address — we never ask who you are. • Your typed text, translations and scans stay on your phone. We don't collect, read or sell them. • A photo leaves your iPhone only to read a language it can't read itself, and only when you're online. • The free version shows ads; the Holiday pass removes them.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Camera Voice Translator at none against SofiLingo's shown. SofiLingo's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
