LingoAI Translate guides

Translate between 38 languages on your iPhone with an AI model stored in the app: no signal, no account, no upload. What the free limit is and what to expect.

Translation runs on-device by default. Exceptions: the optional Cloud engine, Apple's speech recognition and free-plan ads. Exactly what leaves the phone, and when.

Speak into LingoAI to get a transcript you can edit and translate, then play the result through the speaker or privately in your ear, with adjustable speed.

Point the camera at printed text or pick a photo, let the phone read the text on-device, then translate it. What works well and what OCR struggles with.

Add extra target cards in LingoAI to see the same text in several languages side by side, and copy or share the one each person needs.

Import a .txt or Markdown file, translate it in one go, and learn the free limit, the Long Text unlock and when Cloud keeps terminology consistent.

Add the LingoAI Keyboard, turn on Full Access, and translate inside Messages, WhatsApp or Mail, then replace or append the result. Why it needs Full Access.

Relay is a shared translated conversation: each person speaks or types in their own language. How many sessions are free, and the voice limits.

When to use the LingoAI model, Apple's System engine or Cloud (Standard or Best, formal or casual), and what each costs in privacy and credits.

Cloud credits are the only thing that costs per use: how many a translation takes, what Pro includes, credit packs, failed requests and what happens after reinstalling.

Save your common source and target language combinations in LingoAI and load them instantly, so you stop re-choosing both languages every time.

LingoAI saves your translations on the device, grouped by day and searchable, so you can copy, share, replay or delete them, and why history may hold sensitive text.

Fix common LingoAI problems: a Cloud-only language, keyboard needs Full Access or a download, the free length limit, missing credits and Cloud falling back to the device.

What LingoAI does free (on-device translation, camera, voice, keyboard, history), what each separate unlock does, and what Pro bundles, including 500 Cloud credits.
