Markets and street food
Ask about prices, ingredients or portions. In a busy market, hold the phone near your mouth so Tolk can hear you clearly.
Hands-free voice translator
Start a session and talk without tapping a microphone before every sentence. Tolk translates both sides of your conversation out loud.

Tolk listens throughout your session and recognizes your two chosen languages. Speak one at a time and let each translation play. In noisy places, bring the phone closer to whoever is speaking.

Frequently asked questions
Contact usWhat does hands-free translation actually mean?
You start one session and put the phone between you. Tolk listens continuously, recognizes which language is being spoken, and speaks the translation out loud. No mic button, no switching languages, no passing the phone around.
How does Tolk know who is talking?
It hears both languages in the session and translates each side into the other automatically. You and the other person simply take turns like in any normal conversation.
Why does hands-free matter so much?
Because operating an app kills the conversation. When every sentence needs a tap, both of you talk to a phone instead of to each other. Hands-free means eye contact, natural pace and a conversation that actually flows.
Does it still show the text?
Yes. Every translation is also readable on screen, for loud streets, quiet offices or double-checking the details.
Is it free to try?
Yes. New accounts include 30 free minutes, with no payment details required. On Android, choose 90 minutes for $9.99/month, 500 minutes for $59.99/year, or a one-time 60-minute pack for $6.99. New iOS plans are coming; check the App Store for current prices.
Which languages does it cover?
Over 50, including Vietnamese, Thai, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Arabic, with special attention to tonal and context-heavy languages where literal translation usually fails.
