Talk face-to-face in a language you don't speak
Parlivon translates real conversations. Share one pair of earbuds, speak normally, and each person hears the other in their own language — plus camera translation for signs and menus, chat translation for noisy rooms, and phrasebooks for when the signal dies.

- You speak English
Parlivon voices it in their language, in their earbud.

Auto-route detects the switch — no buttons mid-sentence.
- Point at the menu
Read signs, labels and forms in your own language.
- Lose the signal
Downloaded phrases, audio and cards still work.
What Parlivon does
Four situations travellers actually hit — talking, writing, reading, and losing signal.
Voice conversation
Two people, one phone. Each speaks their own language and hears the other translated aloud, with automatic direction switching.
Camera translate
Point at a menu, sign, ticket machine or label and read it in your language, overlaid on what you see.
Chat translate
Type instead of talking. Both languages stay on screen — ideal in loud places or for longer explanations.
Offline phrasebooks
Download before you fly. Hundreds of phrases with cached audio, favourites and flashcards, all with no data.
Group broadcast
One person speaks and a whole group hears the translation in their own earbuds.
Business — coming soon
Currency converter
Daily exchange rates built in, so the price you just translated makes sense at home too.
Three steps, about a minute
Pick two languages
Including regional variants such as US, Canadian and UK English or Paris and Canadian French.
Share an earbud
Each person hears only their own language. Without earbuds the phone speaks out loud instead.
Just talk
Parlivon listens, translates and speaks — you never tap a button in the middle of a sentence.
The part other apps forget: offline
Download the languages for your trip while you have Wi-Fi. Parlivon keeps the phrases, their pronunciation guides and pre-generated audio on the device, so play-aloud is instant in a rural village or on a plane. Hand the phone over and a large card shows your phrase and its translation side by side.
How offline mode works
- Per-language download size shown up front
- Cached pronunciation audio
- Favourites for the phrases you reuse
- Flashcard practice with self-checking
- Category chips: airport, food, payments, emergencies
- Neutral, masculine or feminine wording
Privacy taken seriously
Audio and images are processed to translate, not to profile you. Review, export or delete your data — with Canadian privacy law in mind.
Privacy policyPlans for one trip or the whole year
