Talk
No buttons. Speak either language and it hears which one.
-
Read or listen
The translation appears while you speak, and is read aloud too.
How it differs from free translator apps
No button
It hears which language is being spoken. Nobody has to tap the mic each time the speaker changes.
No waiting
Subtitles appear while you are still talking and settle when you finish. Nobody waits for a reply.
They can just listen
Translations are also read aloud, so the other person understands without leaning in to read the screen. They need no app and no sign-up.
Audio is not kept
Audio is used only to interpret; Interpres does not store it. Transcripts from signed-in web sessions are kept in your account so you can read them back.
Where it helps
- Hotel check-in
- Ordering at a restaurant
- Taxis and directions
- Pharmacies and clinics
- Haggling at a market
- Chatting with locals

Questions
- Do I need an account?
- Not to try it. Open it and use it for two minutes right away. To keep using it, create a free account — no credit card.
- Does it work with a weak signal?
- Audio is sent to a server, so you need a connection. 4G, 5G or Wi-Fi is enough. It does not work offline.
- Which languages?
- 64, including English, Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Indonesian, Arabic and Hindi.
- How accurate is it?
- Good enough for travel conversations. Proper names such as hotels and stations become more reliable if you add them to the glossary. Try it in your own language pair first.
