Dialects, not one Arabic
Textbook Arabic is not what people speak at home. Tolk translates real spoken Arabic, dialect included, instead of forcing everything through Modern Standard Arabic.

Arabic translation with context.
English↔Arabic
Courtesy is a ritual
Arabic conversations open with warmth and politeness formulas. Word-for-word translation strips them out. Tolk keeps the intent and the warmth.
Right-to-left, out loud
You do not need to read Arabic script or type on an Arabic keyboard. Both sides just talk, and both sides hear their own language.

Frequently asked questions
Contact usDoes Tolk translate spoken English to Arabic in real time?
Yes. You speak English, and moments later the other person hears it spoken in Arabic. It works in both directions: Tolk hears the Arabic reply and speaks it back to you in English.
Which Arabic does Tolk understand?
Spoken Arabic is a family of dialects: Egyptian, Levantine, Gulf, Maghrebi and more, all different from textbook Modern Standard Arabic. Tolk is built for real speech and translates the meaning of what was actually said.
Why do regular translator apps struggle with Arabic?
Most apps translate to and from Modern Standard Arabic, which almost nobody speaks at home. Real conversations happen in dialect, with politeness formulas and context that literal translation misses.
Does the other person need the app?
No. Only one person needs Tolk on an iPhone or Android phone. Start a session and take turns speaking. In a noisy place, hold the phone closer to whoever is speaking.
