Offline Translation, Read In English

Understand the world around you,
in Big, Clear English.

ReadTalk makes simple, offline apps that listen to a language being spoken near you and show it as large, easy-to-read English. No typing, no internet, no account. You read what they said, and with one flip, they read what you say. All six languages are here now: Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, German, and Japanese. Each language has its own app, so you only carry the one you need.

The idea

Pick a Language.
Listen. Read.

Pick the language you want, open ReadTalk, and read.
Everything happens right on your phone.

1

Pick your language

Open the ReadTalk app for the language you want it to hear. Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, German, and Japanese are all here now, and each language has its own light, offline app.

2

Open it, and it listens

Slide one switch. ReadTalk hears the language spoken near you and translates it right on your phone, fully offline. Nothing is uploaded.

3

You read big English

One large caption fills the screen and holds the last line until someone speaks again. If they want to talk back, flip the flag: you speak English, and they read it big in their language.

Why ReadTalk

Built to just work,
and to respect you

Fully offline

No wifi, no cell signal, no data roaming needed. It works in a basement, on a jobsite, or in another country in airplane mode.

Private by design

Everything stays on your phone. No account, no sign-up, no tracking, and no conversations sent to a company's servers.

Big, readable text

One large caption, sized to read across a table or with older eyes. No cramped bubbles and no scrolling feed to chase.

Two-way reading

They talk, you read. Flip the flag and you talk, they read. Nobody speaks through the phone: both sides read big text.

One-time price

Buy it once and it is yours. No subscription that bills forever, and no ads crowding the words you are trying to read.

Real-time listening

The English appears as they speak, not after you finish typing. It keeps up with a real conversation in real life.
