The Earphone Translator App For Earphones You Already Own
You do not need a $179 Timekettle. You do not need a $99 Vasco. The earphones in your pocket already do live AI translation — they just needed the right app.
Works With Any Earphones
TurnTalk does not need special hardware. If audio plays through it, TurnTalk works through it:
- AirPods, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max
- Wired Lightning and USB-C earbuds
- Bluetooth headphones (Sony, Bose, Sennheiser, Beats, etc.)
- Cheap $10 earbuds you bought at the airport
Why an Earphone-Based Translator Is Different
Translator apps that rely on the screen — like Google Translate, iTranslate, or DeepL — work great for menus, signs, and short phrases. But the second somebody is actually speaking to you, the screen becomes a wall between you and the conversation.
With TurnTalk, the translation arrives where the original would have arrived if you spoke the language: in your ear. Your eyes stay on the person. Your hands stay free. The conversation doesn't stop.
