Intent – The Chat translator

Intent Inc.

About this app

Intent — chat, call, and live in any language.

Intent breaks the language barrier across every conversation in your life. Whether you're texting family abroad, on a call with a partner overseas, sitting in a foreign meeting, or meeting a stranger in a taxi — Intent translates in real time, so you stay close, present, and understood.

Auto-translate every message
Cross-language relationships shouldn't fade because translating is a hassle. Intent automatically translates every incoming and outgoing message into your preferred language. Family group chats, long-distance partners, international friends — everyone types in their own language, everyone reads in theirs. Translation feels invisible, the conversation feels native.

Voice & video call translation
Cross-language calls, as intimate as talking in your mother tongue. Real-time bilingual subtitles appear on screen while you hear the other person — listen and read at the same time. Perfect for calls with parents who don't speak English, partners across borders, or high-stakes conversations where every word matters.

Live Caption — never miss a word
Meetings, lectures, classrooms — even when you don't understand the language, you can follow every sentence. Place your phone on the table and Intent generates rolling bilingual subtitles in real time. Stay in the room, not behind it.

Face to Face — talk to anyone, anywhere
One phone between you and a stranger, and you can have a real conversation. Split-screen interface shows your language right-side up to you, and the other person's language flipped toward them. Cafés, taxis, restaurants, hotels — travel and life without the language wall.

Stay close across languages
Distance and language shouldn't dilute the people you love. From "miss you" to "get some rest" — Intent carries care across continents, in every language your family and friends speak.

Be present in every social moment
When everyone around the table is laughing, you laugh too. Live Caption keeps up with group dinners, parties, and casual gatherings, so you're never the one quietly nodding along.

Built for the way you already chat
Text, photos, voice messages — Intent translates them all, with transcripts for voice notes and "Translated" tags on every bubble. The complete chat experience, fully cross-language.

Download Intent and turn every conversation — text, call, room, or table — into your language.

Ratings and reviews

The previous version of this app was awsome, but this version doesn't seem that great. It translates everything sentence by sentence, whereas the previous version used to present the entire context beautifully in its own way, which is missing in this version. I seriously want to use the previous version. I don't like this version at all.

This app is very badly designed. At first glance, I thought I could clone my voice and send voice notes to my international friends, but it doesn't do this at all. It's all about a social media with automatic translation, although it's really poor design. I'm going to give it three stars because the clone isn't so bad.

it's great, almost fantastic, but sometimes slow to start up on the live caption translation. however, once it warms up, the response is real time! Great app. awaiting future updates and upgrades!
