We have launched the first version of our language detection feature to simplify your workflow when you aren't sure which language is being spoken.

How it works:

You’ll now find Detect language placed inside the target language picker. Record a few seconds of speech, and the app will analyze the audio to suggest the most likely languages. To keep the experience simple, we currently present up to the top three results.

Confidence scores:

Each suggested language is accompanied by a colored pill showing a percentage (e.g., 90%).

• What it means: This is a "confidence score" determined by the model.
• Smart filtering: To ensure you only see relevant options, we automatically filter out any languages with a confidence score below 0.5%.

You can now customize your personal lists with icons. Tap the icon in any personal list (in list or edit view) to select a new one from our full icon library – the same one available in the Portal.

It's now possible to star Areas, thereby adding them to the "Your lists" section on the home screen. Areas now also display the language picker the way lists do.

We’ve unified your translation controls into a single, shared action bar for a consistent experience across the app.

• Image support: We removed the"View image" text and now only show a clean icon., and Live Translate now shows images on the output screen for verified matches.
• Reverse translation: Now available in the phrase view for all languages, including non-verified ones.

Coming soon: Full-screen translation mode for both the phrase library and Live Translate.

We’ve redesigned the home screen to better balance Live Translation and our phrase library, ensuring the tools you need are always within reach. Here's what's changed:

• We’ve moved the Shortcuts to the top of the feed, directly below the Live Translation section, for instant access.
• The old "What's new" notification bell is now a dedicated shortcut button. It opens as a full-screen modal, so you can explore updates without leaving the context.
• Translation History has moved to the top navigation bar. We’ve also removed the Translation history banner when the feature is active to keep your view clean.
• The Interpreters tab has been removed from the bottom menu and has been added as a shortcut instead.

• Fixed an issue where double-tapping the microphone could freeze speech-to-text and audio playback.
• Resolved a navigation glitch when selecting target languages rapidly.
• Free users can now view information about Premium features (like offline mode and statistics) directly in Settings.

You can now use dictation to transcribe speech into text in the same language. This feature is designed to support clearer communication in everyday care situations – especially when:

• a care recipient is hearing impaired, or
• someone understands the spoken language well but benefits from seeing it in text during the conversation.

We’ve added a new Shortcuts section to make it even faster to access the features you use most. For now, you’ll find it just above the Discover section on the home screen.

• We’ve tweaked and improved the overall experience of using Translation History.
• Fixed issues where archiving and deleting sessions sometimes impacted other sessions as well.
• The type of logged translation and whether it was a phrase reply or not is indicated more consistently.

We’re improving how Premium subscriptions are managed and purchased by streamlining our purchase flows. This update means subscription lifecycle management (such as subscribing, renewing, and unsubscribing) is now fully handled through a third party. This also opens up opportunities for future improvements, such as gathering feedback from users.

We’ve also introduced new payment options. Users can now choose between monthly or yearly Premium plans, with the yearly plan offered at a discounted rate.

Finally, we’re updating the price of the Premium subscription across all markets. This change supports continued product development and long-term value for our users.
