Lingoora

Now in beta on iPhone

Two people.
Two languages.
One phone.

Set your iPhone on the table between you. Each of you speaks your own language — the translation appears on the other person's side of the screen, facing them, and plays out loud.

Free TestFlight beta · 36 languages · No sign-up needed

Lingoora on iPhone: Spanish on the flipped top panel, English on the bottom panel
The top half flips so the person across the table reads it right-side up.

HOW IT WORKS

Set it down. Start talking.

Three steps — and nothing for the other person to download or set up.

  1. Pick two languages

    Choose yours and theirs. Swap either side any time.

  2. Speak — or type

    Tap the mic on your side, or turn on Auto mode and just talk. Too loud? Switch to the keyboard without losing your place.

  3. Read it and hear it

    The translation appears on their side, facing them, and plays through the speaker.

WHERE IT HELPS

Made for real back‑and‑forth

Anywhere two people need to talk across a language gap — not just on vacation.

Family & in-laws

Catch up at the dinner table. No one else has to download anything.

You: How was your week?

🇺🇸
🇲🇽

Them: Busy — the kids start school Monday.

At work

Clarify an order or a task with a customer or coworker.

You: Do you need this by Friday?

🇺🇸
🇻🇳

Them: Thursday afternoon works better.

Travel

Taxis, hotel desks, pharmacies and cafés.

You: The hotel on Main Street, please.

🇺🇸
🇯🇵

Them: About fifteen minutes from here.

School & community

Parent–teacher check-ins, neighbors and volunteer desks.

You: How is she settling in?

🇺🇸
🇨🇳

Them: She's doing well — she already has friends in class.

WHY LINGOORA

Built for the conversation, not the lookup.

Most translation apps are made for looking things up — a menu, a sign, a quick phrase. Lingoora is made for talking with someone. Share one phone, each read your own side, and keep the back‑and‑forth going.

Made for the table

Two panels, one flipped, so each person reads their own side — no passing the phone back and forth.

Hands-free back‑and‑forth

Auto mode listens continuously and works out which of your two languages is being spoken.

Loud enough for a busy room

Natural-sounding voices play through the speaker, so the other person hears you over the noise.

36 languages. Pick any two.

Any language can pair with any other — not just with English.

PRIVACY

Your conversations stay on your phone.

History lives on your device

Past conversations, starred phrases and settings are stored on your iPhone, not on our servers.

No sign-up, no ads, and we don't sell your data.

There's nothing to sign up for, and we don't sell your data.

Clear about processing

To translate, your audio and text are sent over an encrypted connection, through our server, to our AI providers, OpenAI and xAI. An internet connection is required.

Read the privacy policy

Machine translation can make mistakes. Please don't rely on Lingoora for medical, legal or safety-critical conversations.

Questions

Is Lingoora on the App Store?

Not yet. It's in a free TestFlight beta while we prepare for launch. Request an invite below and we'll email it to you.

Does the other person need the app?

No. You share one iPhone — they simply speak and read on their side of the screen.

Does it work offline?

No. Lingoora uses online speech and translation, so you'll need Wi‑Fi or mobile data.

Where is my conversation history kept?

On your device. This site’s Privacy Policy explains that conversation history and settings are stored locally.

What does Auto mode do?

It listens continuously and detects which of your two languages is being spoken, so neither of you has to tap the mic.

Can I type instead of speaking?

Yes. Switch to the keyboard any time and keep the same conversation going.

How do you say “Lingoora”?

Lin-goo-rah. It starts like “lingo,” the “goo” sounds like “moon,” and it ends in “rah.”
