On-device translation

Speechy uses Apple's Translation framework, which runs on device after the language pack is installed. Your transcript doesn't leave the device for translation.

Bilingual transcript with original text above and translation below
Bilingual mode shows the original paragraph and its translation side by side.

Pick a target language

From the Translate chip on a note, choose any of the ten supported target languages. A dot next to each language tells you whether its language pack is already installed or needs a one-time download.

Offline packs

Under Settings → Translation you can pre-download packs for the languages you use. Once installed, subsequent translations happen instantly and work in Airplane Mode.
