What both people need
Translation works between AiThao users, and everyone chooses their own language, so in a group each member reads in theirs. On a call, translation starts only when both people agree.
Where the words go
Translation happens in the cloud, not on the phone. What is sent, and what is not, is set out in the Security Center, on the page about translation and privacy.
Try it first
It offers fewer languages than the app and does not make a real call.
Photos, documents and shared decisions
Translate recognized text in photos, video frames and documents. Text is sent to a cloud service; translation can make mistakes and uses the sender’s allowance. Availability depends on the app version.
Questions
How accurate is automatic translation?
It is made for everyday conversation. For medical, legal or financial matters, do not rely on it alone, and confirm names, numbers and addresses in writing.
Does translation work offline?
No. Translation needs an internet connection.
