Available now for Android as a one-time $9.99, with the Apple App Store and Google Play coming soon.
Most translators are built for typing,
not for real life
When a French speaker is right in front of you, you do not have time to type, tap, hand over your phone, or wait for wifi.
You just need to read what they said.

- ✕Live conversation modes need an internet connection.
- ✕Offline packs only translate typed text, and are clunky to manage.
- ✕Text is small and hard to read at arm's length.
- ✕The line is gone before you finish reading it.
- ✕Make you pass the phone back and forth through menus and tiny bubbles.
- ✕Ads and subscriptions crowd the words.
- ✕Often send your audio to a cloud server.

Point it at the French,
read it in English
They talk, you read. Flip the flag: you talk, they read.
Here is all there is to it.
Slide the switch
Open ReadTalk French and slide one switch to start listening. No menus, no setup, no account to create first.
It hears the French
As the person speaks French, the app translates it on your phone, offline, and turns it into English right away.
You read big English
One large caption shows what they said and holds it on screen until the next thing is spoken, so you never miss a word.
A real-time French voice translator
that you read
Real-time listening
The English appears as they speak, word by word. It keeps up with a real conversation, not a typed one.
Fully offline
Does all of its work on the device. No wifi, no signal, no data roaming, no packs to fuss with. Turn on airplane mode over the Atlantic and it still works.
Big, easy-to-read text
One large caption, sized to read across a table, across a counter, or from the passenger seat. No tiny bubbles.
Holds the last line
The last thing said stays on your screen until someone speaks again, so you always have time to read it.
Flip it to reply
Slide the flag and it reverses: you speak English, they read big French text. One phone, both directions, nothing to learn.
Private by design
No account, no sign-up, no tracking. Your conversations never leave your phone.

across a table
Someone says "Bon matin, tu veux un cafe?" and this is what you read.
Drag the slider to see how large the English caption can go.
For anyone who needs to understand
the French around them
At work
Understand French-speaking clients, coworkers, crews, and customers. Follow the conversation in real time and answer back with the flag slider, without asking anyone to slow down or repeat.
While traveling
Order in a Paris cafe, ask directions in Lyon, check in to a hotel in Montreal, follow a market vendor in Quebec City. No SIM card, no data roaming, no hunting for wifi. It works in airplane mode.
At home & with family
Follow a French-speaking mother-in-law, neighbor, or grandparents in Quebec without asking them to repeat. When someone you love speaks French faster than you can follow, put the phone on the table and read along.
ReadTalk French listens and shows text. It never speaks out loud: both sides read the screen, which keeps things calm, quiet, and polite in a cafe line, an office, or a family kitchen. It does not translate documents, photos, or phone calls. It does one thing extremely well: live French speech, right in front of you, turned into big readable English.
