Talkaro: Offline Translator

Talkaro is a travel translator built for the moment you land somewhere you do not speak a word of the language - before you buy a SIM card, before you find Wi-Fi, before roaming kicks in. WORKS OFFLINE Translation runs on your phone, not on a server. Download a language pack once over Wi-Fi and it keeps working on a plane, on a mountain road, or at a passport desk with no signal. The ready-made phrasebook for English, Turkish, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Greek, Russian, Dutch, Polish and Arabic is built into the app and needs no download at all. 16 SITUATIONS, NOT A DICTIONARY Phrases written for travelers, grouped the way a trip actually happens: - Airport & passport - check-in, customs, lost luggage - Transport & taxi - "please use the meter", "take me to this address" - Journey & long distance - trains, platforms, ferries, car hire, fuel - Hotel & check-in - reservations, breakfast, late checkout - Directions - "where is the toilet?", "I am lost" - Restaurant & cafe - allergies, recommendations, the bill - Bar & nightlife - local drinks, entry fees, closing time - Market & shopping - prices, haggling, sizes, receipts - Money & bank - ATMs, exchange rates, commission - Health & pharmacy - pain, fever, prescriptions, allergies - Emergency & police - stolen wallet, embassy, ambulance - Sightseeing & museums - tickets, opening hours, photos - Internet & SIM - tourist SIM cards, data, charging - Numbers & time - Beach & activities - Basics & politeness SHOW IT INSTEAD OF PRONOUNCING IT Tap any phrase to fill the screen with it in large type, then turn the phone around. No accent required, and it works in the dark and across a noisy counter. AND THEY CAN ANSWER Every question comes with the answers you are likely to get. The person you handed the phone to taps theirs, and the screen turns it back into your language. Asking is easy; understanding the reply is the part other phrasebooks leave out. TWO-WAY CONVERSATION Switch the translate tab to conversation mode and you get two microphones, one per language, the way a dedicated translator device works. Each turn is spoken aloud in the other language and kept on screen in both. HEAR IT OUT LOUD Every phrase and every translation can be read aloud in the local language. 59 LANGUAGES Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Greek, Turkish, Russian, Polish, Czech, Croatian, Hungarian, Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Hindi, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malay, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and more. FREE, AND FAIR ABOUT IT Talkaro is free and supported by ads. The ready-made phrasebook is always unlimited - you will never be blocked from a phrase you need at a passport desk. Free-form translation has a generous daily allowance, and one short rewarded ad gives you two hours with no ads and no limits at all.
