At a glance

Capability What the product documents Boundary to check
Conversation Choose a language for each speaker; translate in both directions with spoken output and text. Recognition and translation quality vary with language pair, microphone input and background noise.
History Original words, translations and speaker labels; saved conversations are device-local. Local history does not mean every processing mode is local. Avoid assuming cloud backup or cross-device sync.
OpenAI Online Online translation requests and voice go to OpenAI. Requires internet, an active subscription and available AI credits.
On Device Compatible downloaded translation models and supported offline speech recognition. Active subscription still required. Zero AI credits; initial downloads and activation need internet. Language/model availability must be checked.
Private Cloud Compute Public documentation describes text processing by Apple after separate consent, including locally transcribed speech. Requires internet and credits, compatible iOS 27+ / Apple Intelligence support, and available Apple usage quota. Raw audio/images are not described as uploaded to Apple in this mode.
Release and access The public site currently says App Store release is in preparation; iPhone/iPad iOS 26+ baseline. Availability is not confirmed by an installation link alone. Mode availability depends on the shipped version and hardware.

Release status

The public site identifies this product as pre-release or release-in-preparation as of this review. This repository is documentation, not a release announcement. Check the official site before relying on availability.

Scope and provenance

Published by the product developer as first-party user documentation. It covers public behavior, examples and limitations; it does not contain the private application source, credentials or internal operational configuration. It is not an independent review, security audit or comparative benchmark.

Examples use synthetic or permission-cleared content. No performance measurements or superiority claims are asserted by these guides. Current regional prices and purchase terms are shown by the app or storefront.
