A better way to talk across languages

The usual tools were built for tourists, not for real conversations. Here is why they fall short.

Earbud translators

You hand an earpiece to a stranger. Only one person gets the translation. Spoken audio cannot be read again.

Translation glasses

Expensive. Only the wearer sees the text. The text is small. Everyone else is left out.

Typical translator apps

You speak in turns and pass the phone. The text is small. Both people look down at one screen.

Captions on your phone

No extra hardware. You speak without stopping. They read big, clear captions from a normal distance — on their own screen.

Built for how people actually talk

A real conversation is more than words. Every design decision protects what makes it human.

Eye contact stays

The captions face the other person. You look at each other — not down at one shared screen.

Reading is instant

Captions appear word by word as you speak. The other person can re-read any line.

Your screen stays calm

The Listening Stage keeps your screen almost blank while they read. One small light shows the mic is on.

Dignity for both sides

Nothing on screen embarrasses either person. No alert sounds. No flashing.

Two people keep eye contact while one holds out a phone with a live caption visible between them.

How it works

Open the app and you're live. No setup for you. No app for them.

Step 1

Open and speak

Open the app, pick their language, and start talking. The first caption appears in seconds.

Step 2

They join instantly

Share a link or show a QR code. They open it in any browser — no download, no account.

Step 3

Everyone reads live

Each person picks their language. Captions appear word by word as you speak.

Four things that never change

Every session stands on these.

Near-instant translation

Captions appear as you speak. No turn-taking. No waiting for the sentence to finish.

Pocket to captions in seconds

Open the app and speak. The first caption never waits for setup or a sign-in prompt.

Readable across the room

Big, high-contrast text built for reading at a distance. Works well on older phones too.

Captions in your style

Style Studio gives you fonts, colors, backdrops, and effects. Every style passes a legibility check.

Made for reading at a distance.

Captions use Atkinson Hyperlegible. The Braille Institute helped create this typeface. It makes similar letters easy to tell apart.

  • Large, high-contrast text
  • A clean screen with no clutter
  • Works well on older phones
Live captions

The difference between an 'l' and a '1' matters.

Make captions yours

Style your captions. Every viewer sees your look, live — the moment you apply it.

Caption Style Studio

Pick fonts, colors, backdrops, and text effects. Every change shows live in the preview.

Ambient effects

Add flames, lightning, or a voice pulse around the captions. Seasonal packs arrive through the year.

Classroom vibe sync

Your style appears on every viewer's screen the moment you apply it. The whole session shares one look.

Celebration moments

Tap once to send confetti to every viewer. Good answers deserve a moment.

  • High-contrast and reduce-motion settings always win over any style.
  • Viewers can switch to a high-legibility view at any time.

Pro app skins

Change the color of every app screen. Pro adds 8 skins.

  • Pro: Ember, Ocean, Violet, Slate, Carbon, Pearl, Blossom, and Dusk.
  • Pick a look that is easy for you to read.
  • Free: Dark, Light, Lagoon, Night, and High contrast.
