About this app

3PO is a first-of-a-kind app that can auto-identify the language being spoken and translate to another spoken language in one step continuously. No need to push a button after each sentence.

This one-touch speech-to-speech translator enables you to converse with almost anyone with little friction.

New: You can now practise speaking a foreign language with 3PO. It will then provide a score on the accuracy of your pronounciations.

Ratings and reviews

Great app! Gets things right mostly, but I understand it's hard translating on the fly with different speakers. Only issue is that only the main Chinese dialect truly works in continuous mode. The others either fail to load and throw an error, don't work at all and just transcribe in Chinese, or do nothing at all.

Downloaded this based on reading online descriptions of the app. I lived in España and didn't know ANY Spanish, learning the language on my own with a now very worn Spanish-English dictionary I still have today. Just tested with a few sentences/phrases & happy my spoken Spanish is still good since I've been away for almost a decade, and I have nobody here to practice with! Very happy with this app, and plan to converse with it on a semi-regular basis to maintain my speaking level. Gracias!!

I used to help both my learning and to communicate with my Brazilian future mother-in-law who speaks no English. I would estimate around 80% accuracy of translation. I shall be heading over to Portugal in a couple of weeks, and will be interested to see how much extra background information will be available by using the app in continuous mode. I am far from fluent, so ability to go beyond "tourist phrases" will be amazing. Is there a beta test group, and are you open source?
