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.
