The story

How it came together.

Problem

Travel and education users need translation that works fast, on bad connections, and across input methods. Google Translate already exists — the bar for a competing app is meaningful UX, not feature parity.

Approach

Flutter for the single-codebase reach, a translation pipeline supporting text/voice/image-text input, audio pronunciation, and a UI tuned for the one-handed travel moment.

Outcome

A pocket-sized translator used by travellers, students, and business professionals across many languages — fast inputs, fast outputs.

What people said

Product Reviews.

Honest takes from people who actually use the product.

Sofia M.

Traveller

Used this in Tokyo for a week. Camera translation on menus was the workhorse feature. Audio pronunciation taught me phrases I actually used.

Lars J.

Language student

Voice-input translation is the best I've used. Output audio is natural-sounding, not robotic.

Anya P.

Offline-friendly enough that I trusted it on a flight. The Flutter version is fast on my older Android.

Hiro T.

I use Google Translate for typing and WeTranslate for camera and voice. The split happened naturally because WeTranslate's image-text recognition is better.
