Travel Chatter is a lightweight, travel translation and conversation aid, designed specifically to help travelers bridge language barriers quickly during real-world interactions abroad. Capture a phrase and translate it into any language. Hear it read aloud, practice using it the next time you meet someone new and get chatting like a local.

Built for travel, not for lessons

Most phrasebooks are full of generic phrases you never really need. Travel Chatter isn't - every phrase you add is one you choose. Type a phrase you want to learn in English and Travel Chatter translates it, or record the translation directly from a local. Edit it, pick a category, mark it as a favorite, and have it at hand whenever you need it.

One book, many places

Traveling to a new country or want to practice your phrases in a different language? Add a new language before your next trip and your whole phrasebook comes with you, freshly translated.

Say it right

Every phrase can be spoken aloud with text-to-speech. Tap it again within a few seconds and it repeats more slowly, so you can actually catch the pronunciation before you try it on a local.

No lessons, no streaks

Switch to flash card mode to test yourself in either direction - English to your phrase, or your phrase to English - filtered by category, favorites, or whatever you haven't learnt yet. No daily reminders, no habit to keep alive.

Yours, not ours

Every phrase is stored on your phone - planes, mountains, dead SIMs, it still opens. Back up your whole phrasebook whenever you like, restore it on a new device, or export any language as a CSV to share with friends.
