About LingoShu Translator
Speak naturally, across languages. LingoShu is a voice translator that actually sounds human — for the conversations that matter, at home or abroad. Word-for-word falls apart in hard language pairs. LingoShu translates for meaning and context — the way people really talk. Fewer misunderstandings, more real conversations. Whether you live across two languages at home or you're finding your way in a new country, LingoShu keeps up where literal translation gives up. How it works: both pick a language, tap record, and speak. LingoShu listens, transcribes, and — once you send it — translates into natural, in-context language. - Two buttons: each speaker has their own record button. Hand the phone back and forth, or flip to Mirror mode. - Clear chat: see both the recognized speech and the translation in a clean chat. - Pronunciation help: Pinyin, Romaji, and Romaja for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. - Own dictionary: add names, places, and tricky words so they come out right. - Read aloud: tap the speaker icon, or turn on auto-play in the header. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Privacy isn't a feature we added on top — it's how the app is built. - Signing in with Apple gives us only a user ID. Not your name, not your email. - We never store your audio: it's sent for processing, then deleted. - No analytics SDKs, no third-party trackers, no ads. SIMPLE, FAIR PRICING - Start free: translate online free at first, then keep going offline for free as long as you like. - Pro (online): online is the most natural and context-accurate. Go Pro for unlimited everyday use* of online translation, plus your conversation history saved privately on your device. - Minute packs: no subscription needed. When your online minutes run out, LingoShu switches to offline automatically, so your conversation doesn't break. - Offline mode: runs entirely on your iPhone (even in Airplane Mode) and stays free. It's simpler and less accurate — names and idioms may be wrong — and some languages are online-only. Tap the header button to download a language pack once. 38 LANGUAGES Arabic, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Filipino, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, and Vietnamese. A NOTE FROM THE DEVELOPER I'm one developer, and I built LingoShu to have more authentic conversations with my wife's Chinese parents. I'm a traveler myself. I wanted a translator that gets authentic, in-context translation right — without giving up my privacy. This is LingoShu. Translations are AI-generated and may contain errors. *Pro is unlimited for everyday use; fair-use limits apply.
