COUPLE MODE Put one earbud in each ear. Choose your languages. Start talking. You hear their language, they hear yours. Use the headphones you already own. One phone, one pair of earbuds, zero special hardware. Caliptic is an offline translate application: a real-time voice interpreter that runs entirely on your iPhone. Tap Start, put the phone between you, and everyone simply speaks their own language — Caliptic listens, detects who is speaking, translates, and speaks the answer out loud. WORKS WITHOUT INTERNET After a one-time model download, everything — speech recognition, translation, and voices — runs on-device. Use it on a plane, abroad without a SIM card, in the mountains, anywhere. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your conversations never leave the device. No account, no cloud, no ads, no tracking. There is nothing to upload, so nothing can leak. 22 LANGUAGES, BOTH DIRECTIONS Turkish, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian. The app's own interface follows the first language you pick — including right-to-left layout for Arabic. MORE WAYS TO TALK • Table mode: put the phone between you — the top half flips so the other person reads from their side. • Type to speak: in a noisy place, type and Caliptic translates and says it out loud. • Tap any line to correct it or hear it again. • Personal Voice: with Apple Personal Voice, translations are spoken in your own voice. FREE TO TRY, SIMPLE TO KEEP The free version gives you 12 minutes every 30 minutes — or go unlimited with Caliptic Pro: $0.99/month (first week free) or $9.99/year (2+ months free). Subscriptions are billed to your Apple account and renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions.
