Real-time speech translation for iPhone

Speak any language. Hear it in Japanese.

Boloaudio turns speech into translated voice and text while the other person is still talking. Pick one of 13 languages, tap the mic, and keep the conversation moving.

On the console

Everything you need to talk. Nothing to set up.

Sign in with Apple, choose a language, and go. There's no API key to paste in and nothing to set up.

Live captions

Read it as you hear it

The translation streams in large type the moment it's spoken, with the original speech beneath so you can check what was actually said.

Voice

Choose who speaks

Use the streamed OpenAI voice, or any iOS voice installed for that language. Your pick is remembered per language.

Echo

No feedback loop

Echo cancellation stops the translated audio from being picked up by the mic and translated all over again.

Input

Tuned to the room

Set noise reduction for a phone held close, or one sitting across the table. Or switch it off.

Background

Locks when you do

Lock your phone mid-conversation and the translation keeps running, so you can listen without watching the screen.

Signal path

From your voice to their language in one stream.

In

Mic

Your voice is captured at 24 kHz with echo cancellation switched on.

Relay

Secure connection

The app streams to a relay that holds the API key, so nothing sensitive lives on your phone.

Translate

gpt-realtime-translate

OpenAI's model detects what language you're speaking and translates as you go.

Out

Voice and text

You hear the translation and read it live, with the original transcript beneath.
