Read full descriptionHide full description
No internet needed — just talk, and be understood. A privacy-first, fully on-device offline translator and interpreter. Voice translation, conversation, real-time captions and text translation — speech and text are recognized, translated and read aloud entirely on your device. Nothing is sent to the cloud, so it works on a plane, abroad, or with no signal. Great for personal use such as travel and study, and for business too: store counters, reception desks, and customer service. One device for multilingual interpreting and inbound customer support. * Each language's translation and voice models download once. After that, everything works offline. ■ Why Offline Translator - No connection required: works even in airplane mode or with no signal. - Privacy-first: no account, no cloud. Your speech and text are never sent to a server for translation. - Real-time: as you speak, your words are translated and captioned into the other language. - Multilingual: many languages, starting with English and Japanese. ■ Four translation modes 【Conversation — two-way voice, face to face】 The screen splits in two so people across a table can talk naturally — you speak and it translates into their language, they speak and it translates back, in real time, with optional read-aloud. Ideal for travel or serving international customers. 【Live captions】 Recognizes speech on the spot and shows the source and translation together — great for meetings, seminars, or checking what you heard. 【Text translation】 Translate typed or pasted text. Tap once to read the result aloud or copy it — for emails, signs, menus and drafts. 【Read aloud】 Reads translations in a natural voice at an adjustable speed — to check pronunciation or let the other person hear it. ■ Where it shines - Stores, reception & customer service (commercial use OK): checkout counters, hotel front desks, restaurants, clinics and government windows — for international customers and inbound visitors. - Travel & business trips: airports, hotels, restaurants, taxis, shopping. - Learning: English conversation, listening and pronunciation practice. - Privacy-sensitive moments: translate confidential text without sending it out. ■ Supported languages English, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified / Traditional), Korean, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Arabic, and Hindi. * Which languages and voices are available depends on your device and OS on-device support. Each language's model downloads once. ■ Privacy Speech recognition, translation and read-aloud all run on the device — your audio and text are never sent to a server, no account is required, and nothing is stored in the cloud. Networking is used only to serve ads. ■ Main features - Face-to-face conversation translation (two-way, real-time voice) - Live captions (source and translation together) - Text translation (type or paste → translate) - Read translations aloud (adjustable speed, optional auto read-aloud) - One-tap copy of translations - Translation history - Multilingual; store language models on the device for offline use - Fully on-device (no account, no cloud) ■ FAQ Q.
