Real conversations, in any language

Two languages. One conversation.

How it works

No copy and paste. No second app.

Everyone sets their language once. From then on, messages are translated into the language each person reads. The first time a message needs our server to translate it, Tóvox asks you.

01

Write in your language

Type the way you normally would, in the language you think in.

02

Tóvox translates it

Translation runs on your device when your browser can, otherwise on Tóvox’s own servers. Never by an outside company.

03

They read it in theirs

The other person sees your words in their language, with what you actually wrote just above.

Working now

Everything here works today.

Chats that translate themselves

Set your language once and messages from others are translated into it, in 35 languages, with the original just above. The first time a message needs our server to translate it, Tóvox asks you.

End-to-end encrypted

Messages, photos, files and voice messages in your personal chats are locked on your device. Tóvox cannot read them, unless you choose to have a message translated on our server.

Voice and video calls

One-to-one calls, encrypted between the two devices. When a direct line is not possible, they go through our own relay.

Shared chats

Shared chats for the people you need together, with the same translation and encryption as one-to-one chats.

Voice messages

Record and send a voice message in any chat. It is encrypted like everything else.

Speak instead of typing

The mic in chat turns your voice into text on Tóvox's own server. Nothing goes to Google, and nothing is kept.

Disappearing messages

Set a chat to clear its messages after 5 minutes, an hour, a day or a week. Everyone in the chat sees a note when it changes.

Files

Every photo, video and document from your chats in one place, with search.

Skye, your assistant

Open your chat with Skye to ask a question or have something translated.

Privacy

Your messages are yours.

Messages in your personal chats are locked on your device before they are sent. The key to unlock them stays with you and the people you are talking to.

Read the privacy policy

Encrypted on your device

Messages, photos, files and voice messages in your chats with people are encrypted before they leave your phone or computer. Tóvox cannot read them, unless you choose to have one translated on our server.

Keys stay with you

Each message has its own key, and each of your devices its own keys. There is no master key and no back door.

Our own servers

Tóvox runs on servers we operate. Translation never goes to an outside company.

Honest about the limits

Meetings, mail, business chats and chats with Skye are not end-to-end encrypted. Our privacy policy says exactly what is and is not.

Who it is for

Anywhere people don’t share a language.

Teams

Hotels, sites and offices where staff speak different languages.

Two people shaking hands at a busy convention

Events

Conventions and festivals with guests and crews from everywhere.

Travel

Family and friends

Stay close to the people you love, in the language they speak.

Say it your way.
They’ll hear it theirs.
