Saylate

Speak your language.
They read theirs.

A voice translator for iPhone and iPad. Tap your language and talk. The translation appears in big, bold type, ready to hold up to the person in front of you, or to play out loud with a tap.

One screen, one button

Nothing to learn. Just take turns.

Your two languages sit on either side of a big red mic. There are no menus to find and no modes to switch while someone is waiting for an answer.

  1. Tap whose turn it is

    The speaker's language lights up blue. Touch and hold a language to pick another one.

  2. Tap the mic and talk

    Words appear as you say them, and the translation follows with every finished phrase. It keeps listening until you tap again.

  3. Hand over the conversation

    Tap the other language and it is their turn. Each sentence gets its own line, translated the other way.

Made to be read across a table

Prenez un comprimé toutes les six heures. Take one tablet every six hours.

The latest sentence fills the screen, so you can turn your phone around and let them read it. Earlier lines shrink into a history you can scroll back through.

Hear it, copy it, share it

Every line is ready to use.

  • Tap to hear. Tap a translation and Saylate reads it aloud in the other language. Tap what you said to hear it in your own.
  • Touch and hold for more. Copy a line, speak it again or play the original.
  • Share the whole conversation. Send it as plain text, every sentence with its translation, to anyone you like.
  • Clear it in one tap. The trash button wipes the history from your device.

On your device, not in the cloud

What you say stays in your pocket.

Speech recognition and translation both run on your iPhone or iPad, using Apple's built-in models. Saylate has no server to send your voice to, so it never does.

Your words go from the microphone to the screen without leaving the device.

Honest limits

Saylate translates between the languages Apple's on-device translation offers, and each one is downloaded the first time you use it. Like any machine translation it can get things wrong, so for anything that really matters, such as a diagnosis or a contract, check with a person who speaks both languages.
