A Language Of Universal Dialogue
Lay the phone between you. Just talk.
ALOUD is live two-way voice translation for iPhone. Each of you speaks your own language — and hears the other's words in your own. Seventy-plus languages, a couple of seconds behind the conversation.
Coming soon · Free to start
The far half faces them.
The screen splits at a gold centerline and the far half rotates 180° — so the person across the table reads their language upright, while you read yours.
¿Dónde está la estación de tren?
Hablado en voz alta, en español
Where is the train station?
You said it in English — they heard it in Spanish
One phone, flat on the table. No passing it back and forth, no leaning over to squint at someone else's screen.
Three steps, no ceremony.
Pick two languages
Any pair from seventy-plus, right-to-left scripts included.
Lay the phone flat
Between the two of you, like a shared page.
Talk
ALOUD speaks each side's words in the other's language, and writes both down.
Built for real conversations.
Walkie-talkie turns
Hold a button to talk when the room is noisy — or switch to hands-free AUTO and let the conversation flow.
Type instead of talk
A keyboard for each side of the table, for quiet replies and loud rooms.
Verify what they heard
An optional back-translation shows you, in your language, what the other side was actually told.
Tap to fix
Misheard word? Tap your line, edit it, and it re-translates on the spot.
History that works
Search past conversations, export transcripts, or pick a session back up where you left it.
Accessible by design
VoiceOver and Dynamic Type are supported throughout — including the talk buttons.
Pay for minutes, not months.
Sign in with Apple and start with $1.00 of free credit — about five minutes of conversation. When you need more, top up right in the app, and every dollar you pay is a dollar of balance.
Talking costs about $0.20 a minute. No subscription, nothing recurring.
Private by design.
A translator hears everything, so this one is built to forget.
- Your speech is streamed for translation and spoken back — never stored.
- Transcripts stay in your account only so History works. Delete your account, and everything goes with it — right in the app.
- No ads, no tracking, and your data is never sold.
Read the privacy policy — it's short.
The table is set.
ALOUD — A Language Of Universal Dialogue — is coming soon to the App Store.
