Field notes
The homepage frames translation as an ongoing conversation between two people rather than a one-off lookup. Its examples include a Thai phrase with three distinct readings, explanations of particles and omitted meaning, and a “Worth asking” path that sends a gentle question in both languages. It also describes shared vocabulary, voice-note transcription, split-screen conversation mode, and live captions for calls. Installation is directed to iPhone and Android, with phone-number sign-in.
