Speak your language. They hear theirs โ€” in your voice. TranslationTone translates your phone calls and messages in real time, then speaks the result in a clone of your own voice. Not a flat robotic read-out: your voice, your tone, in a language you never learned. WHAT YOU CAN DO Live translated calls โ€” talk normally. The person on the other end hears you in their language, sounding like you. Translated messages โ€” send a text or a voice message; it arrives in their language. Voicemail โ€” miss a call and they can still leave you a message, translated. Photo text โ€” send a photo and the text inside it is read and translated. Practice mode โ€” say a phrase, get scored on your pronunciation, and hear it played back in your own voice. WHO IT IS FOR Families split across languages. Calling parents or grandparents you can't fully talk to. Partners meeting each other's relatives for the first time. Travellers who need more than a phrasebook. Anyone who has ever handed the phone to someone else because they couldn't manage the call themselves. 30 LANGUAGES Arabic, Burmese, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, English, Filipino, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Lao, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Vietnamese. WHY IT SOUNDS DIFFERENT Most translation apps hand your words to a generic synthetic voice, and everyone on the call can tell. TranslationTone builds a voice profile from a short recording you make in the app, then speaks the translation with it. The person you called hears you โ€” your pitch, your pacing, your tone โ€” just in a language you don't speak. GETTING STARTED Record a short voice profile, pick your language, and call. New accounts start with free minutes, so you can hear how it sounds on a real call before paying for anything. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS A subscription is optional. TranslationTone works without one โ€” use your free minutes, or buy minute packs as you go and they never expire. Monthly Pro Subscription (optional) โ€” US$19.99 per month, auto-renewing. Includes 400 translated call minutes each month, plus a discounted rate for any additional minutes. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
