Connecter · telephone network translation

Your language.
Anyone you call.

Call ordinary phones and understand each other. Speak your own language while Connecter translates during the call — the other person does not need to install the app.

An ordinary translator helps with individual phrases. Connecter integrates translation into a phone conversation: hear replies in your own language and continue talking straight away.

Scenario 1

Make arrangements — and keep the details.

Is your partner abroad and speaking another language? Call through Connecter: discuss things in your own languages and return to the saved text afterwards.

Addresses, phone numbers, meeting arrangements and facts from the call stay close at hand. Check important details in the history rather than relying on memory.

Scenario 2

Travel with more confidence.

Confirm your check-in, book a table or arrange a driver — without finding someone to call on your behalf. Dial an ordinary number and explain what you need in your own language.

Less worry about pronunciation and misunderstandings. More independence and enjoyment on your trip. Connecter helps you start conversations with confidence.

Handle everyday matters yourself, clarify details and return to the conversation text. Starting a new life is easier when people understand you.
