PlainSpeak - Translator

Speak, Type, Scan — Offline

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

Speak, type, or scan to translate instantly — 100% offline. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking. Built for borders, emergencies, and everywhere signal isn't guaranteed. PlainSpeak translates speech, text, and camera-scanned text entirely on your device — no internet connection required, no account, no cloud, no tracking. Every translation happens locally, even when you have zero bars. Talk naturally in Voice mode, type in Text mode, or point your camera at a menu, sign, or document in Camera mode for an instant translation. Together mode turns your phone into a shared conversation hub for a group speaking different languages at once — hold it up, tap your name, and speak. Download language packs before you travel so translation keeps working with no signal at all — on a plane, in the mountains, crossing a border, or anywhere data is unreliable or expensive. Emergency, medical, and legal-rights phrase packs are built in and permanently free — pre-translated, one-tap phrases for the moments a language barrier is most dangerous to have: "I need a doctor," "I'm allergic to...," "I want a lawyer." Every accessibility feature is free forever too: text-first conversation mode, large-text/high-contrast display, adjustable speech rate, and low-literacy icon-assisted phrases. Your conversations are yours. PlainSpeak has no servers, no accounts, and no cloud logging — the only network calls are to your device's own translation engine and a standard public currency-rate feed. Nothing you say is ever collected, sold, or shared. PlainSpeak Pro ($4.99/month or $69.99 lifetime) adds group conversation mode for larger groups, live camera overlay translation, unlimited language packs, structured menu/document scanning, and language-learning tools — never the ability to communicate, which stays free for everyone. Whether you're traveling, welcoming a mixed-language family member, volunteering at a border crossing, or just need to order dinner in a language you don't speak — PlainSpeak works, instantly, privately, offline.
