Echo is an AI driven real-time in-ear voice translator designed specifically for use with AirPods or other Bluetooth headphones. Other speech translation apps aren’t intelligent enough to know when sentences have started and stopped so they must be told when to start listening and when to stop listening and you don’t get the translation until after. That only works when the conversation you want to translate is planned; when both participants purposely take turns talking. But what about unplanned speech, such as speech overheard in airport announcements, casual conversations at work, in elevators, or coffee shops? There is no need to tell Echo when a person is speaking. It simply starts listening and translating when prompted and continues until stopped. Some in-ear translation solutions require proprietary headphones, but with Echo, there’s no need to spend extra money on hardware. Use your own headphones and let the app do the work. Even better: Echo doesn’t require an internet connection for voice recognition and translation. All processing is done on-device, preventing unwanted bills while abroad. Support for 14 languages and 19 accents. Including: English Spanish German French Italian Dutch Japanese Chinese Korean Portuguese Arabic Russian Thai Turkish Switch between two translation models depending on your requirements: Accuracy and Speed. When using the Accuracy model, translations are more accurate but take longer to process. When using the Speed model, translations are performed as quickly as possible but may be less accurate. Echo excels at recognizing and translating voices heard in short form speech scenarios, such as brief conversations spoken nearby, airport announcements, coffee shops, grocery stores, in elevators and others. We are currently working to improve long form recognition and translations, such as in lectures, videos and fast paced conversations. Echo still works in these long form speech scenarios but improvements are coming soon. Most popular translation pairs in the US: Spanish to English German to English French to English Italian to English Dutch to English Japanese to English Chinese to English Korean to English Portuguese to English Arabic to English Russian to English Thai to English Turkish to English Performance is dependent on iPhone hardware. Generally, a newer iPhone will perform better than an older one. Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Wanted It To Work But App’s Unusable

Like other reviewers have mentioned, I am unable to use the app because it is stuck in the setup process after attempting to download the Spanish language, and no matter how long I’ve waited, it still says that it’s being downloaded and won’t allow me to proceed further. The developers responded to another review of this issue in May, but clearly underestimated the problem and almost a year later have yet to fix it. If it’s eventually fixed, I’ll be glad to actually use the app and leave a new review, but because it’s unusable, 1 star seems to be the only fitting option

I had been looking for an in-ear translator while in Vietnam, purely because I was curious to know what people around me were saying. This ended up working perfectly. Even the novelty of listening in on conversations in elevators and coffee shops is awesome. I later tried it in Spain and worked just as well. Highly recommend!

I’ve been searching for something like this for my next trip to Europe to help me with the small daily interactions with locals. This app allows me to get the support I need in my headphones so that I can accurately respond and understand. This is perfect and can’t wait to use it!

Fixed a bug that could cause voices from another language to show up as available voices to choose from when selecting a voice to speak the translations.
