One phone, two people leaning in
Every sentence waits for a hand-off. Nobody talks naturally, and talking from different places isn't possible at all.
Real-time voice translation in 10 languagesSpeak your language.
Speak your language.
They hear theirs.
DuoTalk turns your voice into their language, spoken aloud on their own phone, whether you're across the table or across the world. Nothing to download.

Why DuoTalk
Stop passing the phone back and forth.
Most translator apps give two people one screen. DuoTalk gives each person their own, so you can look at each other instead of at a phone.
Two phones, one conversation
Each person speaks and listens in their own language, on their own phone, in the same room or on different continents.
How it works
Three steps. Nothing to install.
Create a room
Pick your language and theirs. Add a passcode or a waiting room if you like.
Share a link or QR code
They open it in any browser and pick a nickname. No app to install, no account to make.
Just talk
Speak normally. Your words arrive in their language, written on screen and spoken aloud.
Try it
Hear it for yourself.
Pick something to say and who you're talking to, then press play.
You say · English
Nice to meet you. I've heard so much about you.
They hear
很高兴认识您！常听大家提起您。
Features
Everything a real conversation needs.
Built for the moments translator apps weren't made for: dinner with family, a call across time zones, a deal across a language barrier.
Voice in. Voice out.
Speak naturally. DuoTalk works out what you meant and says it aloud in their language. If it isn't sure what it heard, it checks with you before sending.
Natural AI voices
Choose the voice they hear, or use the phone's own.
Alerts on locked phones
Messages reach them even when DuoTalk is closed.
Video calls
See each other while you talk, and share your screen.
Private rooms
Invite-only links, passcodes and a waiting room where you let people in.
Keep the conversation
Save the transcript in both languages, or record the session.
Play together
The Toy Box breaks the ice while you're still finding the words.
Groups in many languages
Multilingual mode lets everyone in the room speak their own language and hear everyone else in theirs.
Use cases
Made for the conversations that matter.
Talk with the family you married into
Meet the parents, call grandma on Sunday, plan the wedding together. Everyone speaks the language they think in, so nobody is left out.
- A family room that never expires

Always reachable
Even when their phone is locked.
Most web apps go quiet when you close them. DuoTalk sends a real phone alert, so your message reaches them with the screen off and the app closed.
- Works on iPhone (as a Home Screen app) and Android
- Alerts say who wrote, never what was said
- A built-in phone check finds the settings that silence alerts
- Keep translated voice playing with the screen locked, if you like
Privacy
Private by design. Honest about it.
Invite-only rooms
Only people with your link can ask to join, and every member is verified before they see a message.
Passcodes and a waiting room
Add a passcode, approve each guest, and remove anyone at any time.
Nothing on the lock screen
Alerts say who wrote. What they said stays inside the room.
Rooms that close for good
When a room ends, its old link stops working. A new talk gets a new link.
Stories
Families who finally talk.
"[A real quote from a beta family about the first time they talked without a phone between them.]"
"[A real quote from a couple who live in different countries.]"
"[A real quote from a traveler or a small business.]"
