Tookoo turns two phones into a live interpreter. You speak your language — the other side hears theirs, translated in real time by AI. THREE MODES • Push-to-Talk: hold the button while you speak, like a walkie-talkie. • Talk-to-Talk: hands-free — translation starts automatically when you speak. • Listen: interprets the conversation around you discreetly into your ear, with a hold-to-reply button. INVITING IS EASY Share a QR code or a link. The other side joins right in the browser — no app, no account. Their language is already preselected from your invitation. MADE FOR REAL CONVERSATIONS • 79 languages • Live transcripts of both sides • Speaker, earpiece or headset output — tap the active output again to mute and just read • A delay gauge shows how far the translation runs behind FREE Tookoo is free and shows a short ad before a conversation starts. Conversations are limited to 60 minutes — reconnecting takes one tap. Tookoo needs an internet connection and microphone access. Voice audio is processed in the cloud for translation — see the privacy policy at tookoo.drawla.app.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tookoo at none against Live Interpreter's 3. Tookoo also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). Live Interpreter's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
