Hermes Translate
Real-Time Voice Translator
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Your pocket interpreter. Break language barriers instantly. Speak naturally — the person next to you hears it in their language. Live, private, offline. No subscription.
Hermes lets two people have a real conversation across language barriers — spoken, translated, and heard in seconds.
Speak naturally. Hermes listens, translates, and speaks back in the other person's language — all on-device, with no cloud, no subscription, and no internet required.
REAL-TIME TWO-WAY TRANSLATION
Hand your phone to someone who speaks a different language, or connect wirelessly with a nearby device. Hermes handles the translation in both directions simultaneously.
COMPLETELY PRIVATE
All speech recognition and translation happens on your iPhone using Apple's built-in frameworks. Nothing leaves your device. No account needed.
PEER-TO-PEER CONVERSATIONS
Connect directly with another iOS device over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Two people, two languages, one seamless conversation — no server in the middle.
12 LANGUAGES SUPPORTED
English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Russian, and Hindi.
THREE CONVERSATION MODES
• Peer-to-Peer: Two devices, each person hears translation in their own language
• Local Bidirectional: One device, pass it back and forth
• Local Translator: Use it solo to translate what you hear
FLEXIBLE INPUT
• Push to Talk: Tap and hold to speak, release to translate
• Continuous Mode: Speaks automatically when you pause
CONVERSATION HISTORY
Every translated exchange is saved so you can review, share, or revisit past conversations.
BUILT FOR TRAVEL, DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE
Whether you're traveling abroad, helping a visitor, working with international colleagues, or simply meeting someone new — Hermes removes the language barrier so you can focus on the conversation.
Requires iOS 18.0 or later. Translation model download required on first use (Wi-Fi recommended). Peer-to-peer requires two iOS 18+ devices.
