Year two in Japan,a seminar abroad,
a trip on your own

One-on-one you manage. A whole group talking at once, you don't. These are the moments it's built for.

Second year working in Japan

Team dinner, topics flying

Meetings one-on-one are fine. Five coworkers talking and laughing at once, and all you can do is laugh along.

Frequently asked questions

Do other people need to install the app?

No. As long as your phone on the table can hear everyone, nobody else does anything.

Which languages are supported?

Subtitles can be shown in 中文, English, 日本語, ไทย and Türkçe. You don't pick what others speak; it detects it.

Is the audio saved?

Not by default. You get a recap after each session; only if you tap "Save" are the audio and text kept, and only in your account.

Can it tell several speakers apart?

It's most reliable with two or three people taking turns. With many people, loud rooms or similar voices it can mislabel; tap the name on that line to fix it.

Does it cost anything?

You get 10 free minutes every day, no sign-up needed.

Phone and computer?

Both. The web app runs in the browser on phones, tablets and computers; there's an iOS app on the App Store, and Android is coming soon.
