Live translation · Android

Speak, and the other person hears it in their language.

ljtranslate turns your phone into an interpreter. Pick the two languages, tap the microphone, and talk. The translation arrives while you are still speaking, as text on the screen and as speech — so a conversation with someone who does not share your language keeps its rhythm instead of stopping for every sentence.

ljtranslate translating a conversation on an Android phone

Built for conversations, not phrases

Everything about ljtranslate is designed so that two people can keep talking.

Live, not sentence by sentence

Translation starts before you finish the sentence. Text appears on screen and is spoken aloud as you go.

Both directions

Tap swap and the other person answers in their language. One phone carries the whole conversation.

Auto-detects the language

Leave the source set to “Detect language” and start talking. You only pick the language you want to hear.

Hands-off microphone

The microphone stays open while you talk. Nothing to hold down, nothing to tap between turns.

Turn the phone round

Landscape mode shows the words large enough to read across a table, so the other person can follow along.

Split audio with a headset

Pair a Bluetooth earpiece and each side hears only its own language: yours in the earpiece, theirs on the loudspeaker.

57 languages

Spanish, English, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, Korean, Turkish, Polish, Dutch, Swedish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese and forty more — and the interface itself speaks all of them.

Your voice is not kept

Audio is streamed for translation and never written to disk. No third-party advertising or tracking SDKs. Servers in the EU.

See it in action

Minimal by design: two languages, one microphone button, and the conversation.
