How to use Whisperr while traveling

Hold a real two-way conversation with anyone, no shared language required.

  1. 1

    Shared-screen two-way

    Hold your phone between you and the other person. Whisperr auto-detects both languages and shows the two-way translation on screen, so you take turns naturally.

  2. 2

    Spoken output

    Prefer to hear it? Whisperr can speak the translation aloud in the other language, so the person you’re talking to doesn’t need to read a screen.

  3. 3

    Each on your own phone

    For longer chats, each person runs Whisperr and reads the conversation privately in their own language.

Built for the road

Everything you need to get around

Two-way, real-time translation designed for face-to-face moments abroad.

Two-way by default

Auto-detects both languages and translates both directions, so conversation just flows.

Real-time

Translation in about 0.2 seconds keeps a back-and-forth chat natural.

100+ languages

From major travel languages to long-tail ones spoken off the beaten path.

Read or hear it

Show the translation on screen or have Whisperr speak it aloud.

Native phone apps

iOS, iPad, Mac, and Android apps — built for one-handed use on the go.

Hand the phone over

Spoken output and a clear shared screen make it easy to include the other person.

Do you need a translator device for travel?

Dedicated translator devices like Timekettle earbuds or Pocketalk can cost hundreds of dollars, and they are one more thing to pack, charge, and pair. The phone already in your pocket does the same job: Whisperr auto-detects both languages and translates both sides of a conversation in about 0.2 seconds — no extra hardware to buy, and you can start free.

Hardware also fixes your language list on the day you buy it, while an app keeps improving and already covers 100+ languages. If you own a translator device and it is acting up — or you are deciding between a device and an app — these guides compare them head-to-head.

Never get stuck in translation abroad

Talk to anyone on your next trip in 100+ languages — free to try.

What users say

Top-Notch Speech Recognition and Flashcard-Style Translations for Fast Study

“Whisperr's speech recognition and translation quality are both top-notch, and better than similar tools I've tried so far. As a Japanese learner, I especially like how Whisperr displays each sentence and its translation almost like flashcards, with a text-to-speech button for each one. Whisperr has removed a huge barrier to interacting with foreign-language speakers in real time, and to consuming video content that doesn't already have a translation.”

Worth hundreds of thousands of yen

“The same performance as other conversation translation apps. Those charge by the minute, but this one is apparently a one-time purchase, so the value for money is outstanding. Compared with about five similar apps, this one is the best on both performance and price. I wonder whether it was made by a Japanese developer??”
