A translation app for travel that splits one phone into two readable halves, with one side flipped upside down for the person across the table.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-10 issue.

Field notes

The interface is organized around face-to-face use: one person reads their half of the phone while the other reads an inverted half, avoiding repeated handoffs. The page also describes photographing a menu and translating speech, with transcription performed on the device and only transcribed text sent for translation. It lists 53-language coverage, says the translation function requires a connection, and gives subscription prices of $23.99 per year or $0.99 per week.
