Conversation mode is RTranslator's main feature, allowing users to connect with other phones using the app. When the user speaks, the app captures the audio and converts it into text, which is then sent to the other person’s phone for translation and ultimately played back as audio in the other person’s language. This two-way translation function can meet the needs of multi-person conversation translation, making cross-language communication more convenient.
Intercom mode is suitable for quick conversations, such as asking for information on the street or communicating with a store clerk. This mode supports language translation between two people, requires taking turns to talk, and cannot be used with Bluetooth headsets. In addition, the application also provides a classic text translation mode to meet users' translation needs in different scenarios.
RTranslator uses Meta's NLLB for translation and OpenAI's Whisper for speech recognition. Both are (almost) open source and have the most advanced artificial intelligence technology to ensure translation quality and user privacy. In addition, the application supports background use, so it can keep working even if the phone is in standby or using other applications. However, since some phones limit the ability to run in the background, it's best to keep apps open and the screen on to avoid problems.
The languages supported by this application include Arabic, Chinese, English, Spanish, French, German and other languages, meeting the multi-language translation needs of different users. At the same time, the application itself does not collect any personal data, ensuring user privacy.
