Live voice translator
Speak, and Kenly says it out loud in theirs. They answer, and you hear it in yours. A real conversation with someone you don’t share a language with, on one phone.
Coming soon to iPhone and Android
32 languages · No account · Speaks every translation aloud
How it works
No pressing play, no passing the phone back and forth. Each of you has your own side of the screen.
Choose yours and theirs from 32 languages. Kenly remembers them for next time.
Talk the way you normally would. Kenly listens only while your mic is on, and shows when it is.
The translation appears on their side of the screen and is spoken out loud, so they can answer straight back.
Two modes
Conversation
At a pharmacy, a hotel desk, a parents’ evening or the dinner table with your partner’s family: tap your mic, say your piece, and Kenly says it to them in their language. Their side turns to face them, so it works across a table.
Listen
Point Kenly at a guided tour, a lecture, a sermon or a talk, and follow along in live translated subtitles. Show the original next to the translation, and make the text as large as you need.
The details
Rather not speak? Type a line and Kenly translates it and says it the same way.
Press and hold a line Kenly misheard, correct it, and the translation follows.
Missed it? Play a translation again to hear it once more.
Make subtitles big enough to read across a table or from the back row.
Not sure what language a speaker is using? In Listen, Kenly can work it out.
No sign-up, no email, no password. Open the app and start talking.
Languages
Kenly translates between any pair of these, in both directions.
Private by design
The mic is on only during your turn, or while Listen runs, and the app shows when it’s listening. Speech is translated by Mistral AI in the EU, and our server forgets it as soon as your session ends.
Pricing
Every plan includes translation minutes. Pick weekly for a trip, or yearly if you talk across languages all the time.
$7.99 / week
$44.99 / year
US prices; the App Store and Google Play show yours, with any taxes, before you buy. Unused minutes don’t carry over. Plans renew until you cancel. Terms of use
FAQ
No. One phone is enough: put it between you, and each of you gets your own half of the screen, in your own language. Their half turns upside down so it faces them.
32 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Finnish, Danish, Norwegian, Czech, Greek, Hungarian, Romanian, Ukrainian, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Hindi, Bangla, Tamil, Urdu, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, and Indonesian. You can translate between any two of them.
Each plan comes with translation minutes. They’re counted while Kenly is listening, plus the time it takes to say the lines you type. Unused minutes don’t carry over to the next week or month.
No. Kenly translates with AI models that run online, so it needs an internet connection, over Wi-Fi or mobile data.
Kenly listens only while the mic is on. What it hears goes, encrypted, to our server and on to Mistral AI, in the EU, to be transcribed, translated and spoken. Our server keeps nothing once the session ends. Mistral AI keeps it for up to 30 days to detect abuse of its service, and doesn’t train on it. The details are in our privacy policy.
Kenly is good for everyday conversations, but machine translation can make mistakes. For medical, legal or other situations where a misunderstanding could cause harm, ask for a professional interpreter.
In your app store: on an iPhone, Settings › your name › Subscriptions; on Android, Google Play › Payments & subscriptions › Subscriptions. Deleting the app doesn’t cancel it. More on our support page.
