TalkCrush · travel
A voice translator for travel: just talk, in your own language
At a restaurant, a hotel front desk, a pharmacy or in a taxi, put your phone between you and the other person.
You speak your language, they speak theirs, and TalkCrush says each line out loud in the other language. No buttons and no taking turns.
See it at a restaurant
27 seconds: a customer who speaks Spanish and a server who speaks English order a meal with the phone between them.
Customer
Hola, ¿tienen algún plato sin carne? No como carne.
Hello. Do you have any dishes without meat? I don't eat meat.
Server
Yes, we have mushroom pasta. We can make it without cheese.
Sí, tenemos pasta con champiñones. Podemos prepararla sin queso.
Customer
Perfecto. Quiero esa pasta y un vaso de agua, por favor.
Perfect. I'd like that pasta and a glass of water, please.
Server
Of course. I'll bring your water now. The pasta takes ten minutes.
Por supuesto. Ahora le traigo el agua. La pasta estará lista en diez minutos.
How to use it on a trip, in 3 steps
Put the phone between you
On the table, on the counter or in your hand, where both of you can see the screen.
Pick the two languages
Yours and theirs. TalkCrush works in 50+ languages, both ways.
Just talk
No buttons and no taking turns: each person speaks their own language and hears and reads the other in theirs.
Four places you will need it
Where to put the phone, and a short scripted example of each conversation.
