Translates in-context with privacy in mind. Made for hard language pairs.
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.

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.
