Before your first hello

No. Conversation, Lecture and internet calls work in the smartphone app. Translated SIM calls are being tested on a dedicated device that is not yet for sale.

No. The app translates internet calls inside Translator Phone. Translating regular cellular calls is being tested on the dedicated Translator Phone device. Calls in WhatsApp, Telegram and other apps are not translated.

One phone is enough for a face-to-face conversation. For an internet call, the other person needs the Translator Phone app, an account and internet access. For a SIM call from the device, they answer a regular call — there is nothing to install.

No. Recognition, translation and spoken output are performed by online services, so you need Wi‑Fi or mobile data. Internet access must also remain available during a SIM call.

Speed depends on the connection, sentence length and languages: Conversation mode translates complete sentences, while Lecture mode translates segments of continuous speech with a noticeable delay. Automated translation can make mistakes, so double-check names, addresses, amounts and important agreements.

29 languages, from English, Chinese and Spanish to Thai, Hindi and Icelandic. See the full list in the Languages section. Voices depend on the language; in Lecture mode, not every language is available as the speaker’s language or with spoken translation.

Translation is paid with credits, bought as one-time packages in the app. The store shows the price in your currency before you buy. Usage depends on how much speech is recognized, text is translated and audio is spoken. The device, internet and carrier services are paid separately.

Yes. You can listen to lecture translations on headphones and choose in settings which microphone records the talk: the phone’s or the headset’s.

The current conversation stays on screen while the app is open. When the app restarts, the history is cleared.
