Talk
Talking across a language barrier. You record a message in your own language — the other person hears it in theirs, spoken aloud, and reads both texts. For a conversation on the spot, one phone between two people is enough. No shared language is needed at any step.
How live mode works
- Open Talk and start the live conversation: pick the two languages and, if you wish, the voice that speaks for your guest.
- Lay the phone between you. Each half has its own talk button — whoever speaks holds theirs, and the phone reads the translation aloud and shows it on the other half.
- The session takes the whole screen and keeps it awake; navigation and notifications step aside. To finish, tap twice on the edge by your own half — a deliberate gesture a stray swipe cannot trigger.
Your guest needs nothing
Your voice, on your terms
The cloned voice is strictly optional and always yours to remove:
- It begins with an explicit consent step — never a pre-ticked box. A voiceprint is sensitive personal data, so your consent is recorded, dated and provable.
- The clone builds itself from your own spoken messages: about a minute of speech makes the first version, two minutes refine it — and then the recordings are deleted. A progress bar shows how close it is.
- Only your own speech is ever used: typed messages and live conversations are never clone material.
- “Delete my voice” removes the clone and its samples and withdraws the consent.
Or pick a voice instead
A voice picker chooses how your messages sound: your clone, one of the curated voices, or the automatic default — a voice native to each language, so Portuguese sounds Portuguese. An explicit pick always wins over the clone.
Always labeled
Every synthesized message carries a visible badge — “AI voice”, or the sender's cloned voice when one spoke it. A synthetic voice never passes itself off as a recording.
What is kept — and what is not
The two texts — what was said and what was delivered — remain as the record of the conversation. The audio itself expires after 30 days; the message still reads.
Translation can be switched off per conversation (“as said”). A message that goes out untranslated is clearly marked for both sides, so nobody mistakes it for a translation.
Getting started
- Open Talk in the menu, or use the Voice note action on someone's profile.
- Hold the talk button and speak — or switch to the keyboard and type.
- To reach several people at once, choose “Say it to several people” and pick the recipients.
30 minutes of spoken audio per month are free — voice messages and live conversations combined.
