What is Talk To Locals?
Talk To Locals is a web-based AI interpreter that translates spoken conversations in real time. You speak in your native language, and the person across from you hears it in theirs through your phone; when they respond, you hear their words in your language. It works on any smartphone via browser or as a Progressive Web App, and is built by the team at Talk To Locals.
