Translate English in Real Time
Only for iPhone

iPhone
Hey is a real-time English translation app powered by AI technology that works seamlessly with your AirPods or any Bluetooth headphones.
Unlike traditional translation apps that require you to manually indicate when to begin and end listening—which only works well during structured, turn-based conversations—Hey intelligently detects when speech begins and ends on its own. Simply activate the app and it continuously listens and translates until you tell it to stop. This makes it perfect for capturing spontaneous, unplanned speech you might encounter at airports, workplaces, coffee shops, elevators, and other everyday situations.
You won't need to purchase specialized hardware to use Hey. The app works with the headphones you already own, saving you from unnecessary expenses.
Another key advantage: Hey performs all voice recognition and translation directly on your device without requiring an internet connection. This on-device processing helps you avoid unexpected data charges when traveling internationally.
The app supports English in 9 regional accents:
United States
United Kingdom
Australia
Canada
Ireland
India
New Zealand
Singapore
South Africa
Choose between two translation modes based on your needs: Speed prioritizes quick translations that may sacrifice some accuracy, while Accuracy delivers more precise translations at the cost of slightly longer processing times.
Hey performs particularly well in short-form speech situations—think quick exchanges you overhear at the grocery store, brief announcements at airports, elevator small talk, and similar scenarios. The app does function in long-form contexts like lectures, videos, and rapid-fire conversations, but we're actively working on enhancements for these use cases.
Note that performance varies based on your iPhone model—newer devices generally deliver better results.
