Tidied: My grandpa lived in Osaka when he was young. The Japanese translation, which the app reads aloud: 祖父は若い頃、大阪に住んでいました。
One iPhone between two people. Hold, speak, let go. Talkawa is engineered to tidy up what you said before it translates, then reads it aloud in a natural voice, so two people without a shared language can really talk.
Features
Made for face to face
Each of you gets half of the screen, the other half turned to face the person opposite. Take turns, the way you would talk anyway.
Engineered for what you meant
Before it translates, Talkawa tidies up what you said, dropping the ums and fixing misheard words, so the translation says what you meant and the conversation flows.
Heard and seen
The translation is read aloud in a natural voice and shown in large type. Misheard? Tap a word to fix it.
