Beta · iPhone & Android
Talk to anyone. Each in your own language.
The messenger that translates while you speak. You speak yours, they hear theirs. Neither of you is the interpreter.
Messages · Voice calls · Video calls Every one translated, both ways — like the messenger you already use, except nobody has to share a language.
The part nobody mentions
Free translation has a condition. Read the small print.
Every phone maker translates calls now — on their own hardware. Which is fine until the two people hold different phones. And the two ends of a family rarely buy the same one.
The same conversation. Two phones, two languages, no one translating.

What a call sounds like
Two languages. One conversation. Nobody switching.
Translation apps make one person do the work — hold the phone out, tap, wait, hand it over. SimplyTalk is symmetric: each of you speaks and listens normally, and the crossing happens in between.
Saigon — …
Between the calls, too
It isn't only calls.
The translation built into phones stops when the call does. Everything that happens in between — the photo with a caption, the voice note at midnight, the group where several languages sit at one table — stays untranslated. And that is most of what people actually send.
Voice notes arrive spoken in the other language. Captions travel with the picture. And in a group, everyone writes in their own and reads in their own — four languages at one table, and nobody left out of the joke.
Sunday — the person who could not be there, propped against a glass
Thirteen languages, both directions
Any of these to any other. Not one hub language.
Most translation stops working the moment neither person speaks English. SimplyTalk goes directly between any two of these — Vietnamese to French, Portuguese to Korean — without routing through a third language on the way.

Who it is for
The person you need to talk to doesn't speak your language. That used to be the end of the conversation.
A supplier in Shenzhen. A client on another continent. Your first week in a country you just moved to. A market stall where you want the real price. A family group where four languages talk at once. A parent who never learned yours.
Whatever is said around you, you hear it in your own language.
A shipment, a supplier, and no shared language
