3Self-developed AI engines
Built in-house, not rented

Three AI engines we built ourselves.

Most translation apps wrap someone else's API. We spent years building our own voice, interpretation, and vision models — so we control the speed, the accuracy, and your privacy.

Self-developed

LiveVoice — 1-on-1 voice translation

Face-to-face conversation mode built on our own speech models. It hears natural speech — accents, pauses, slang — and speaks the translation aloud in a natural voice.

0.4savg. response
96%+speech accuracy
Self-developed

SyncStream — simultaneous interpretation

True simultaneous interpretation, like a human interpreter: it translates while the speaker is still talking. Built for meetings, lectures, and calls — no awkward turn-taking.

Self-developed

LensAI — photo & camera translation

Our own OCR and vision models read menus, signs, documents, and handwriting — then rebuild the translation in place, preserving the original layout.

Because our engines are proprietary, your conversations are never sent to third-party translation providers.
Scene-aware intelligence

It understands the situation, then translates.

The same words mean different things in a boardroom, a hospital, or a bar. Live Translator detects your scene and automatically routes every sentence to the specialist AI model that fits it best — so what comes out is what you actually meant.

Reads your scene

Pick a preset — business, travel, medical, casual — or let the AI detect it from the conversation itself.

Routes to the best model

Every sentence is sent to the specialist AI model for that scene — not squeezed through one generic engine.

Delivers your intent

Tone, honorifics, idioms, and terminology are adjusted so the other person understands exactly what you mean — not a word-for-word transcript.

That's why our users don't get misunderstood — in meetings, at the doctor's office, or over dinner.

What people say about Live Translator.

Better than Google for talking.

The live voice mode is on another level — it kept up with a fast-talking taxi driver in Osaka. Google Translate made us take turns; this just flowed.

The business mode nails the tone.

I sit in weekly calls with our Tokyo office. Business scene mode gets the formality right every time — I finally stopped worrying about sounding rude.

The photo mode actually works.

Menus, train tickets, even a handwritten note from my host in Lisbon — translated in place, looking like the original. Offline packs meant zero roaming fees.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How is Live Translator different from Google Translate?+
Live Translator runs on three self-developed AI engines — for 1-on-1 voice conversation, simultaneous interpretation, and photo translation — plus scene-aware model routing. That means faster responses, true real-time interpretation instead of turn-taking, translations that carry your intent instead of literal words, and privacy: your data never passes through third-party translation providers.
What is scene-aware translation?+
You pick a scene — business, travel, medical, casual and more — or the AI detects it automatically. Each sentence is then routed to the specialist AI model for that scene, which adjusts tone, honorifics, and terminology so the other person understands exactly what you mean. No more stiff, literal machine translation.
What is simultaneous interpretation mode?+
Our SyncStream engine translates while the other person is still speaking — like a professional human interpreter. It's designed for meetings, lectures, and long conversations, with continuous sessions up to 90 minutes.
Can I use Live Translator offline?+
Yes. Download offline language packs on Pro and translate text and camera images with no Wi-Fi or mobile data — ideal for traveling abroad.
How many languages does Live Translator support?+
Live Translator supports over 300 languages, including Spanish, French, Chinese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and many more.
Which devices are supported?+
Live Translator is available on iPhone and iPad via the App Store, and on Android phones and tablets via Google Play. Your history and favorites sync across your devices.
Do you store my text or voice recordings?+
Your privacy comes first. Because our engines are self-developed and run on our own infrastructure, translations are processed securely, encrypted end-to-end, and never sold or shared. You can clear your history at any time in settings.
