TolkAny language.
Just speak yours.
Tolk is a multilingual keyboard: whatever you want to say, just say it — and every message you send and receive can be translated. Text or voice, both ways, made easy.
Requires iOS 26 or later.

Just talk.
Tolk does the rest.
Tolk is, first of all, a voice keyboard. Leave tedious typing behind: a single word, a sentence, or a long paragraph of up to three minutes — just say it the way you normally talk.
- 01
Tap the mic and talk
In your own language, the way you normally speak:
Yes, uh, they left this morning. I’ll, um, send you the tracking number tonight.
- 02
Tolk tidies it up
Filler words out, slips fixed, punctuation in.
- 03
It’s typed for you
Straight into the message box, ready to send.
Every message, both ways,
translated in one tap.
Messages you receive, turned into your language in one tap; what you say in your language, turned into theirs in one tap. A back-translation lets you check it before you send, so you say exactly what you mean.
- 01
A message in another language
Copy it and tap the translate key on the Tolk keyboard — it is in your language at once.
- 02
When you reply
Hold the mic, drag onto their language, and speak your own:
Sure, I’ll send it today. The shipment will be in Istanbul on Wednesday.
- 03
Check it, then send
Tolk shows both languages side by side, so the message is exactly right. Tap Insert, then send.
Across languages,
not just in writing.
A voice note in another language, translated into yours in one tap — and read aloud if you like. Reply by speaking your own language; they receive a voice note in theirs.
- 01
A voice note arrives — translate it in one tap
Share it to Tolk: it listens, translates, and can read the translation aloud.
- 02
Reply with a voice note, too
Hold the mic, drag onto their language and speak your own as usual; they get an accurately translated voice message.
Sure, I’ll send the colour chart today too.
- 03
Hear it, then send it
Tap Voice note: Tolk says it in the translated language and plays it to you first. Then send it through the share sheet, as an audio message.
Tolk carries every step
of the conversation.
From speaking instead of typing, to translating messages, to voice notes both ways — right where you already chat, with no app switching and no copying back and forth.
Voice typing
Talk instead of typing, in any app: filler words out, punctuation in — from one word to a whole paragraph.
Text translation
Turn a message into your language with one tap; speak yours, and it goes out in theirs.
Voice notes, both ways
Their voice note, translated and read aloud; your reply, a voice note in their language.
Back-translation check
Before you send, see the translation turned back into your language — send only when it says what you mean.
12 languages
Chinese, English, Turkish, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Russian and Arabic — switch any time.
Compose page
Message too long, or something said wrong? No worries — open the editing page, fix it, then send.
Batch translation
Several messages at once, even voice and text mixed? No need to go one by one — translate them all in one tap.
Top-tier twin engines
Two independent top-tier AI engines stand ready side by side; if one fails, the other takes over automatically, keeping Tolk reliably steady.
20 voices to choose from
Pick the voice that reads translations aloud and speaks your voice notes — male or female, in different styles.
We don't read what you say,
and we don't keep it.
Tolk has no ads. Your words are sent only when you dictate or translate — to the AI service that does the work.
Read the full privacy policy →No analytics, no tracking
No analytics tools, no ads and no tracking code in the app.
Your words go to an AI service
What you say and the text you translate are sent to an AI service to tidy up and translate. Who that is, and how they handle it, is set out in the full privacy policy.
On the Mac, too:
tap once and speak.
Tolk also lives in your Mac's menu bar. In any app, press a shortcut, speak, and the text lands right at your cursor. Translation, voice notes and back-translation checks are one shortcut away too.

Before you start,
a few answers.
The questions we hear most.
What is Tolk?
A voice keyboard that translates: on the iPhone, in the keyboard of any chat app, what you say becomes text — and it translates, and sends and receives voice notes. There is a Mac version too.
How do I start?
Open Tolk and sign in, then switch on the keyboard voice session; in a chat app, switch to the Tolk keyboard and tap the mic.
Which apps does it work in?
Anywhere you can type: WhatsApp, Telegram, LINE, WeChat and other chat apps, mail, notes. Tolk is a keyboard, so there is no app switching and no copying back and forth.
Which languages?
Twelve for translation: Chinese, English, Turkish, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Russian and Arabic. The interface comes in ten.
Is what I say stored?
We don't read it and we don't keep it. Your words go to an AI service only at the moment you dictate or translate; the app has no analytics and no tracking. Who that is, and how they handle it, is in the privacy policy.
Does it cost anything?
It is in public beta; every new account comes with a free trial. Pricing will be announced in the app and here.
Is there a Mac version?
Yes — download coming soon. It lives in the menu bar; in any app, press a shortcut and speak. Requires a Mac with Apple silicon.
Ready?
