Talk to someone who doesn't share your language.

JumboChat is built for the moment two people are standing in front of each other and neither one can start the sentence. Hold your button, say it, hand the phone over. Nobody signs in, nobody makes an account.

What it does

One screen, two people, no setup

The app opens on the conversation. There is no dashboard to get through first, and nothing to configure before the first sentence.

01

Hold to speak

Two microphone buttons, one per language. Hold yours, speak, let go. Hand the phone across and the other person holds theirs.

02

Type when speaking won't work

A loud street, a quiet library, a voice the microphone can't catch. Type it instead and the translation works the same way.

03

Translation runs on your phone

Download a language pair once and the translation itself happens on the device — no round trip to a server for every sentence.

04

Every turn stays on screen

Completed turns build into a conversation you can scroll back through, replay out loud, or copy into a message.

The app

What it looks like in the hand

Captured on iPhone. Two microphone buttons, the sentence you said, and the sentence they hear — nothing else competing for the screen.

Speech recognition and spoken playback use your phone's own voice services, so availability follows your device and its language settings.

Privacy

Nothing to sign up for

A translator hears private things — a pharmacy counter, a border desk, a doctor. It should ask for as little as possible.

No accountNo name, no email, no phone number. Open the app and use it.
No cloud historyYour conversation lives on the phone. We don't keep a copy of it.
On-device translationOnce a language pair is downloaded, translating a sentence doesn't need a connection.
Permissions on demandThe microphone is only requested the first time you actually hold a button to speak.

Speech recognition and spoken playback are provided by your phone's own operating system, which may process audio on Apple's or Google's services depending on your device settings. The full detail is in the privacy policy.
