Read your messages in your language. Reply in theirs.

TextO works beside the messaging apps you already use. A message arrives and you read it translated into your language. You answer in your own words, and your reply goes out in theirs, from your own messaging app, in the same conversation.

The person on the other end needs nothing. No app, no account, no setup. To them, it is simply a message.

WORKS WITH YOUR APPS
TextO works with Google Messages and WhatsApp. It does not replace your messaging app, does not become your default texting app, and does not ask for SMS permissions. Your conversations stay where they are.

HOW IT WORKS
1. A message arrives in English.
2. TextO shows it to you in Spanish, or in the language you choose.
3. You reply in Spanish. Type it, or say it out loud.
4. TextO translates your reply into English and sends it through your messaging app. When it can't send directly (for example, when you start a new conversation), it opens your messaging app with the translation ready, and you tap Send.

Made for Spanish and English, with about fifty other languages to choose from.

HELPFUL TOUCHES
• "¿De quién hablas?" Before a Spanish message goes out in English, TextO asks who it's about (I, he, she or you), so it doesn't come out as "he" or "she" by mistake.
• Say your reply instead of typing it, or have a message read out loud.
• Conversations stay in the app for as long as you choose, and you can delete them at any time.

TRANSLATED ON YOUR PHONE
Translation happens on your phone. Once the language packs have downloaded, it works offline. Your messages are never sent to us or to an online translation service. There is no account, no sign-in and no ads.
Voice typing uses your phone's own speech service, under that service's terms.

FREE TO READ. $5 ONCE TO REPLY.
Everything works free for 7 days. After that, every message you receive is still translated for free, for as long as you keep the app. Sending translated replies needs a one-time $5 unlock: a single payment, not a subscription. Nothing renews and there is nothing to cancel.

WHY TEXTO NEEDS NOTIFICATION ACCESS
TextO can only translate messages it can read. Android delivers messages to it through notification access, so the app asks you to turn that on. Android doesn't let an app see only some notifications, so this access covers every app. TextO reads message notifications from the apps you choose and ignores everything else. You can turn it off at any time in your phone's settings.
