Tolk - Offline Translator translates documents, photos, your camera view, text, and speech — entirely on your device. Download the languages you need once, and everything after that works with no internet: on a plane, on the metro, or abroad without roaming. Nothing you translate is ever uploaded. No accounts, no analytics, no servers of ours involved. • PDFs come back with their layout intact — same fonts, colours, and tables. Scanned pages are read with on-device text recognition. • Photos and camera shots get the translation drawn back onto the image in place, so a menu still reads like a menu. • Type, paste, or dictate, with automatic language detection. • Two engines and 200+ language pairs: Apple's built-in translation, or open-source models from Argos Open Tech and Helsinki-NLP. • Works from the share sheet, from any app's Translate menu, and from Shortcuts or the Action Button. Text translation and dictation are free and unlimited. The free tier includes 3 document translations per week — a photo, a file, or a camera shot. Pro removes the weekly limit and syncs your history across devices through your own iCloud account.
