Works amazingly but you do need a newer phone to have over 90% of the translation. It needs a lot of resources if you’re listening to a speech or someone talking continuously. It lags behind if the phone is a bit older and it starts missing sentences…which is to be expected. It’s perfect for short conversations. I highly recommend.

Google Translate has a conversation feature, but I struggled to use it, it would often stop recording, and the UI isn’t really designed for a long conversation. This app is perfect in that you press one button, and it listens to all the speakers in a conversation and transcribes and translates as they speak. I used it for a 30 minute conversation with two people and it handled it perfectly. However, I was caught off guard by the transcript being deleted when I opened the app later. It could be made more clear that this might happen.

This thing is amazing. I was using ChatGPT to do something similar but it was pretty buggy and kept repeating sentences in the incoming language. This app is exactly what I need: live translation for conversations, like a real interpreter. It works 90% of the time, although sometimes translates too early and ignores what is being said during the translation. Ideally it would pick up 2 sources of audio from the microphone each airpod, so that it could translate each source individually even when interrupting each other. Amazing job
