Formal or informal, right the first time
Vy or ty decides how a sentence feels to a Slovak listener. Tolk picks the register that fits the conversation instead of translating the pronoun literally.

Speak English and hear the translation in Slovak. Tolk translates the reply back to you, polite where it should be and natural throughout.

Slovak translation with context.
English↔Slovak
Cases without the grammar lesson
Slovak changes word endings by case. Literal translation gets them wrong; meaning-aware translation produces sentences a native speaker would say.
Context over grammar
Slovak speakers often drop the subject when it is clear. Tolk keeps the meaning whole, so a short reply still comes through as a complete thought in English.

Frequently asked questions
Contact usDoes Tolk translate spoken English to Slovak in real time?
Yes. You speak English, and moments later the other person hears it spoken in Slovak. It works in both directions: Tolk hears the Slovak reply and speaks it back to you in English.
Does it handle formal and informal Slovak?
Slovak has a formal you (vy) and an informal you (ty), and picking the wrong one with an older relative or a new colleague is the kind of mistake word-for-word apps make. Tolk translates how the sentence should land, so a first meeting stays polite.
Can I use it with my partner's family in Slovakia?
Yes. That is the most common use: a first visit, a family dinner, a grandparent who speaks no English. Put the phone between you, choose English and Slovak, and talk. The other person does not need the app.
Does it work for work conversations?
Yes, for the in-person part: a site visit, a supplier meeting, onboarding a colleague. The translated text stays on screen so you can confirm numbers, dates and names. For video calls, use Bridgecall, Tolk's sister product.
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.
Is it free to try?
Yes. New accounts include 5 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.
