Split Speak helps two people have a natural face-to-face conversation across languages. Put the phone on the table between you and talk. The screen splits in two. Each person gets their own half, facing them, in their own language. Tap your microphone, say something, and the translation appears on the other half and is read aloud. On iPhone Duo and iPad the unfolded screen adds a scrolling conversation column on each side, so both people can look back at everything that has been said.

Tablevoice turns your phone into a real-time, face-to-face interpreter. Put the phone flat on the table between you and the other person and just talk ā Tablevoice listens to both sides and shows the translation on a split screen, with the far side rotated 180° so it reads perfectly for the person across from you. FACE-TO-FACE, HANDS-FREE ⢠Split-screen layout: your half faces you, the other half faces them. ⢠Each side reads and hears the translation in their own language. ⢠Designed for a phone lying flat between two people. REAL-TIME, TWO-WAY ⢠Both directions are translated live as each person speaks. ⢠Streaming captions appear as the words are still being spoken. ⢠Spoken translation plays automatically so no one has to look down. AI OR HUMAN ā YOUR CALL ⢠Manual mode: hold to talk, full control of each turn. ⢠Hand to AI: let the AI interpreter run the conversation automatically. ⢠Take over: step back in at any moment. Switch between AI and human instantly. BUILT FOR TRAVEL & EVERYDAY ⢠Restaurants, markets, front desks, clinics, meetings ā anywhere two languages meet. ⢠Swap the language pair and per-side voices in one tap. ⢠Conversation history you can look back on. BRING YOUR OWN AI Tablevoice connects to your own AI translation server (and optionally your own OpenAI key) ā you stay in control of your data and your usage.
