An editorial reading of the saved reviews

A specialized app for live two-way speech translation. Niche, but with a loyal audience. Main issue: voice stops working at the slightest background noise or pause.

What people use it for

People who need a tool for a live face-to-face conversation with someone in a foreign language and are willing to hold the phone between them and take turns speaking.

What reviews praise

Two-way conversation mode enables a real dialogue: each person speaks into the phone, the app auto-detects the language, and reads the translation aloud.
Users praise accuracy on supported languages.

What reviews complain about

Voice recognition cuts out on any pause longer than half a second and requires louder, slower speech than natural conversation.
In the free version, ads interrupt translation in the middle of someone speaking.
