You’re at a market in Tokyo, a café in Paris, or a bus station in Istanbul. Someone is speaking to you and you need to understand — right now, not after typing into an app.
How Interpret AI Helps Travelers
Open interpretapp.ai on your phone, start a session, and point your microphone at the conversation. Interpret AI:
- Transcribes the speech in its original language
- Translates it into your language in real time
- Identifies speakers so you can follow who’s saying what
No tapping a button for each phrase. No switching between language pairs. Just continuous, live translation.
70+ Languages
Interpret AI supports over 70 languages, including:
- East Asian: Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Cantonese
- European: Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Czech, Greek
- South Asian: Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati, Punjabi, Urdu
- Middle Eastern: Arabic, Persian, Hebrew, Turkish
- Southeast Asian: Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Filipino, Malay, Khmer, Lao, Burmese
- African: Swahili, Amharic, Tigrinya
- And many more
Compared to Google Translate
Google Translate’s conversation mode requires you to tap a button every time someone speaks and only handles one language pair at a time. If you’re in a group where people speak different languages, you’re constantly switching.
Interpret AI runs continuously — it captures everything and translates it all at once. You can even share a broadcast link with the people you’re traveling with so everyone sees translations on their own phone.
Save and Review Later
Every conversation is saved to your Documents. Back at the hotel, you can:
- Re-read the conversation with the vendor who gave you directions
- Play back the audio and click any word to hear it again with word-level timestamps
- Translate the transcript into additional languages
- Share the transcript with friends or travel companions
Works Offline-Ready
The desktop app captures audio from any source on your computer — useful for translating travel videos, language learning content, or pre-trip research.
Pricing for Travelers
The Free plan (100 credits) is enough for a few conversations. For a trip, the Lite plan ($7.99/month) gives you about 16 hours of live translation — cancel anytime when you’re back home.
