BabelTable

Offline voice translation

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Speak face to face with offline translation. Free for 2 hours a day; Pro removes the limit and adds read-aloud, a phrasebook, and more. BabelTable helps two people speak across a language barrier, right across the table. Speech recognition and translation run on your device using Apple’s Speech and Translation frameworks. SPEAK FACE TO FACE Place your iPhone or iPad between you. The opposite-facing panels let each person read from their side of the table. Prefer sitting together? Switch to the chat layout for a shared conversation view. PREPARE ONCE, TRANSLATE OFFLINE Download the speech and translation models for your chosen languages while connected to the internet. Once prepared, supported language pairs work offline. No OpenAI account, API key, or cloud translation service is required. TAKE TURNS NATURALLY Select the language of the person speaking, then talk. Read the original captions and the translated text. Switch the speaking language when it is the other person’s turn. HEAR IT, SHOW IT Tap the speaker next to any translation to read it aloud with the voices installed on your device. Show a translation full screen in large type, and turn it around for the person across from you. ON IPHONE DUO Unfold for two panes: each person's side face to face, or the whole conversation beside the newest translation in large type. Half open, the fold becomes the gap between panes, so no words sit on it. Folded, everything works on the outer display. KEEP YOUR CONVERSATIONS Search the full text of every saved conversation, star the ones that matter, and share a text transcript when you choose. Conversation archives are stored locally on your device. FREE EVERY DAY, PRO WHEN YOU NEED MORE Translation is free for 2 hours a day. BabelTable Pro removes the daily limit with a one-time lifetime purchase or a yearly or monthly subscription, and adds tools for travel and work: • Auto read-aloud: every finished translation is spoken for the other person • Phrasebook: common phrases in all 13 languages, plus your own • Bilingual PDF export with what was said and its translation side by side • Conversation summaries created on your device by Apple Intelligence • Color themes and alternate app icons Pro still runs entirely on your device. REQUIREMENTS Requires iOS 27 or later and a device and language pair supported by Apple’s on-device speech recognition and translation. Initial model preparation requires an internet connection and available storage. Language availability varies. Speakers take turns and select their language; overlapping speech is not separated. Read-aloud uses voices installed on your device. Summaries require a device with Apple Intelligence turned on.

BabelTable Pro is here. Translation stays free for 2 hours every day, and Pro removes the daily limit with a lifetime, yearly, or monthly purchase. If you installed version 1.0, you keep unlimited translation and every Pro feature for free. New for everyone: tap the speaker to hear any translation, show it full screen in large type, and search and star conversations in History. Made for iPhone Duo: two panes when unfolded, and nothing on the fold when half open. New in Pro: auto read-aloud, a phrasebook in all 13 languages, bilingual PDF export, on-device conversation summaries, and color themes and app icons. When less than 30 minutes remain, the home screen shows your remaining time. If time runs out mid-conversation, the current phrase finishes and is saved to History. Pro keeps working offline, and conversations still never leave your device.
