Got questions?
Translating Spanish with Tolk, explained.
Does Tolk translate spoken English to Spanish in real time?
Yes. You speak English, and moments later the other person hears it spoken in Spanish. It works in both directions: Tolk hears the Spanish reply and speaks it back to you in English.
Does it handle tú and usted correctly?
Formality is where word-for-word apps slip. Tolk translates meaning-first and weighs how a sentence should land, so a polite request to a stranger sounds polite instead of overly familiar.
Which Spanish does Tolk speak?
Spanish spans Spain, Mexico, and the rest of Latin America, with different words for everyday things. Tolk keeps phrasing natural and neutral, and understands regional wording when the other person replies.
Does the other person need the app?
No. One phone is enough. Start a session, put the phone between you, and Tolk listens to both sides and translates both directions automatically.
Is it free to try?
Every new user gets 30 free minutes of real-time voice translation. Tolk needs an internet connection; it uses roughly the bandwidth of a normal voice call.
