Live speech translation — for iOS and Android
Why translate. Just talk.
Real-time group translation for a room full of listeners — everyone hears the conversation in their own language, live.
Why translate everything yourself when yTranslate does it for you, live? Create a room, start speaking, and everyone listening hears it in their own language — in real time.
yTranslate is live now on the App Store and Google Play.

What yTranslate looks like
Why translate?
Because everyone deserves to be understood
Every part of the app is designed around one goal: what you say arrives correctly, in whatever language your listeners chose.
Accurate speech recognition
yTranslate always uses the strongest available speech engine for your language. A handful of languages rely on your device's own recognizer instead — available for speaking if your specific device supports them.
One voice, 130+ languages
Listeners each choose their own language from over 130 supported. One speaker can reach a room full of people hearing German, Russian, and Chinese at the same time.
Private, PIN-protected rooms
Create a room in seconds, optionally lock it with a PIN, and share the code only with the people you want listening.
Read aloud, not just read
Listeners can have the translation spoken aloud automatically, or just follow along as text — a simple toggle switches between the two, anytime.
Pick up where you left off
Your last few rooms are saved on your device, ready to resume — no need to share a brand new code every time you reconnect with the same people.
Stays connected
If a connection drops mid-conversation, yTranslate recovers automatically. Sessions only end when you decide to stop.
Free to listen, simple to speak
Anyone can join and listen for free with just a room code. Only the speaker draws down a simple credit balance — refilled monthly on a plan, or topped up anytime.
Made for real conversations
Toggle it on and just talk — no push-to-talk, no re-starting between sentences. yTranslate keeps up with you.
Languages
130+ languages, every room
Every listener can pick from over 130 supported languages, on every plan, always. These are available for speaking right out of the box, wherever you are — plus many more, depending on your device's own speech recognizer.
device means speaking support depends on your phone's built-in recognizer — listening works the same either way.
Conversational Mode
Two languages. One conversation.
yTranslate isn't just for broadcasting to a room — turn on Conversational Mode and have a real back-and-forth with someone speaking a different language, face to face on one device. Pick their language, and yTranslate automatically detects who's speaking which language, translating both directions live, while everyone else in the room keeps hearing it in whichever language they picked.
Automatic speaker detection
No switching languages by hand — yTranslate figures out who's talking and in which language, turn by turn.
Live, both directions
Each side sees the other's words translated instantly, right on the same screen.
Everyone else still listens their way
Remote listeners aren't left out — they keep hearing the conversation in whichever language they picked.
How it works
Four steps to a live group conversation
The order matters here — this is the actual sequence of a yTranslate session, start to finish.
-
Create a room
Pick your speaking language, name your room, and optionally add a PIN — or resume one of your last few rooms in one tap.
-
Share the room code
Send the code to anyone you want listening — they'll choose their own language when they join, for free.
-
Start speaking
Turn the room on and talk naturally. yTranslate keeps listening through pauses, no need to restart.
-
Everyone hears their language
Each listener sees a live translated feed in the language they picked — and can have it read aloud, simultaneously, in real time.
Real-world use cases
One room, every language in it
yTranslate works anywhere a single speaker needs to reach a multilingual audience — live, without an interpreter in the room.
Conferences, meetings, and all-hands
Run a multilingual all-hands without booking an interpreter for every language in the room. One speaker presents, and each attendee follows a real-time translation in their own language on their own phone — no booth, no headset rental, no interpreter scheduled weeks in advance.
Churches and community gatherings
A visiting speaker, a multilingual congregation, and a live translation everyone can follow in real time. Members open the app, pick their language, and hear the service as it happens — no interpreter standing at the front, no separate headset system to maintain.
Classrooms, lectures, and training
Teach one lesson to a classroom of students who speak different languages. yTranslate delivers a live translation to every student's own device in real time, so a single lecture reaches the whole room without a translator sitting in.
Guided tours and travel groups
A tour guide speaks once; every visitor listens in their own language, live, through their own phone. No tour headsets to hand out and collect — just a room code shared once at the start.
Family gatherings across languages
When grandparents, parents, and kids don't all speak the same language, one person can still talk to the whole table. Everyone hears a real-time translation in the language they're most comfortable in, without anyone stepping in to interpret.

FAQ
Common questions
Is yTranslate available yet?
Yes — yTranslate is live now on both the App Store and Google Play.
Do I get anything free when I sign in?
Yes — signing in on the Speaker tab with Apple or Google adds 30 credits to your wallet, once per account. That's about half an hour of talking. No subscription, no card, and the credits never expire.
Do listeners need credits too?
No — only the speaker's credit balance is used. Anyone can join a room and listen for free with just the room code.
What happens if my language isn't supported for speaking?
For the 6 languages not covered by our primary speech engine (Russian, Polish, Korean, Thai, Ukrainian, Chinese (Traditional)), yTranslate falls back to your device's own speech recognizer. Whether you can speak one of those depends on what your specific device supports — if it doesn't, that language won't appear as a speaking option for you. Listening is unaffected either way: all 130+ supported languages are always available to listen in.
How many listener languages can one room support, and does it cost more?
Every plan supports all 130+ listening languages in the same room — a single room can have listeners hearing German, Russian, and Chinese simultaneously. Each additional distinct language active at once does use credits a little faster (30 extra credits per hour per language), since more translation work is happening in real time.
What happens if my credits run out mid-conversation?
Speaking pauses and you'll see a clear prompt to top up — nothing about the room, the conversation, or what you were just saying is lost, and you can resume speaking as soon as you add credits.
Is there a fair use limit?
The credit rates above cover normal conversational speaking. In the rare case an account generates an unusually large volume of translated text relative to how long it's actually been speaking, additional credits may apply to reflect that usage — this doesn't affect typical use.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Yes. Subscriptions can be managed or cancelled anytime through your App Store or Google Play account settings (depending on where you subscribed), and remain active until the end of the current billing period.
Is my room private?
Yes. Rooms can be PIN-protected, and only people with your room code can join as a listener.
Can two people have a live conversation in different languages?
Yes — Conversational Mode lets you pick a second, in-person language for the room. yTranslate automatically detects who's speaking which language and translates both directions live, while remote listeners keep hearing it in whichever language they picked. It costs an extra 10 credits per hour while it's on.
