Telephone network in Connecter

An ordinary call.
Understand each other.Whatever language you speak.

Call a hotel, shop, company or friend on an ordinary number — and speak your own language. Connecter translates your speech for them and their replies for you.

Two-way translation between 20 languages. The other person receives an ordinary phone call and does not need to install Connecter. Useful when travelling and for everyday conversations with people who speak another language.
