Tap. Speak.

Say it the way you would say it to a friend. The orb, and the whole screen behind it, breathe with your voice.

It listens closely.

Parlo punctuates what you said, then translates it as a fluent speaker would, keeping your tone. Formal stays formal. Casual stays casual.

Then it speaks.

The translation appears on screen and is read aloud in a natural voice, at the pace you choose.

One mic. Two voices.

Hand over the phone and just talk. Parlo translates each person out loud, in both directions, as a real conversation.

The turn passes itself.

When a translation finishes playing, the microphone moves to the other person. It even changes colour so everyone knows whose turn it is.

Quiet for three seconds? Next.

If nobody speaks, the turn flows to the other person on its own. Or tap to pass it yourself. Your choice, always.

Natural voices

Voices that sound human.

Parlo reads every translation in a natural voice, a woman's or a man's, at the pace that suits you. If a voice is not available it quietly uses the one on your device.

Choose who speaks

Pick a voice and a pace. It applies to every language.

Egyptian Arabic, done properly

Arabic is written without most of its vowels, so ordinary voices stumble. Parlo fills them in, says ج as the Egyptian “g”, and slows down just enough to be clear.

Save a phrase. Light up a country.

Tap the bookmark on any translation and choose where it belongs. Your Atlas turns every phrase into a glowing marker on a globe you can spin.

The more you save, the brighter it burns.

Markers grow with every phrase. Tap one to hear what you saved there, play it aloud, and practise it.

Double-tap any country. Instantly know it.

Capital, population, languages and region for every country on the globe, built in, so it works even with no signal.

Learn it for real

Say it back. See what you nailed.

Echo plays a phrase from your Atlas, listens as you say it, and marks every word you got right or missed. Practice turns your phrases into quick quizzes and flip cards.

Look and feel

Four moods. Each with its own sound.

Tap a theme and this whole page changes with it, just like the app. Every theme has a signature sound.

Interface sounds

Every touch answers back.

Soft, futuristic sounds make each tap feel real. They stay quiet while the microphone is open, and you can turn them off any time. Try them.

And so much more

Small details, incredible

ParlAI in your pocket

Ask anything about local customs, translate menus with your camera, and build custom itineraries tailored to your pace.

Read aloud for you

Every translation can be spoken in a natural voice, at the pace you choose, so you can simply hand over your phone.

86 languages and dialects

From Spanish to Swahili, with real dialects like Egyptian, Levantine, Gulf and Moroccan Arabic, Mexican Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.

Hears the emotion

If a voice sounds alarmed, the phrase glows red, so urgency never gets lost in translation.

“Help, please!”

Your pace

Natural, clear or slow. Slower speech makes hard languages easier to catch.
