Japan Speak: Travel Phrases

No Japanese? No problem. Show your screen, and staff can answer you back. Japan Speak is an offline phrasebook and trip kit built for real moments in Japan. • The app speaks your language: English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 한국어, ไทย, Tiếng Việt, Bahasa Indonesia, Español, Français, Deutsch • Free to start, no subscription • No third-party ads • Your records stay on your device Tap a phrase and a large, clear Japanese screen is ready for the person in front of you. Below it, staff can tap a reply or type a price, and you read the answer in your own language. Every Japanese phrase was written and checked by a native speaker, not left to machine translation. WHAT YOU GET • 15 real-life scenes, 206 phrases: convenience store, restaurant, izakaya, ramen and ticket machines, sushi, station, airport, taxi, hotel, onsen, shopping, pharmacy, sightseeing, hair salon, and directions when you're lost • Show mode: big Japanese for staff, your language and romaji for you • Staff reply buttons: "Yes", "We don't have it", "Please wait", and a number pad for prices, platforms and minutes • Speak: play any phrase with the on-device Japanese voice, normal or slow • Fill-in phrases: "Table for 2", "I want to go to Shinjuku" • My Card: your allergies and dietary needs as a Japanese card for restaurants • Hotel card: paste your hotel's address and show it to a taxi driver • Optional medical and passport cards, shown only when you tap Show • My Phrases, search in your language, favorites and recent phrases • Custom phrases with Apple Intelligence on supported devices TRIP TOOLS FOR JAPAN • Before you fly: a checklist of what's different in Japan, from cash and IC cards to Type A plugs, trash bags and slip-off shoes • Food labels: the Japanese words for your allergies and diet, to compare with packaged food • Menu and sign words: pork, raw, large portion, extra noodles, sold out, cash only and more • My Places: save where you want to go in Japanese and show it to a driver • Luggage card: send your suitcase to the airport or your next hotel and travel light WHO IT'S FOR • First-time visitors who can't read or speak Japanese • Travelers with food allergies, vegan, vegetarian or halal needs • Anyone who wants something that works without Wi-Fi or a SIM • People who'd rather show checked phrases than trust a live translation • Anyone who has frozen at a ticket machine, a ramen counter or an onsen front desk A TOOL TO SUPPORT WHAT YOU SAY Japan Speak helps you get your point across; it doesn't replace talking with staff. For food allergies and anything about your health, always confirm in person as well. Restaurants and fresh food often have no label. The allergy card is not medical advice. PRIVACY & PEACE OF MIND • No account and no sign-in. • Your allergy, hotel, medical and passport details are stored only on your device (passport and medical details in the iOS Keychain) and are never uploaded. • Phrases, speech, trip tools and AI phrases all work offline on your device. • To show our other apps, the app reads public information from the App Store. Nothing about you is sent.
