Common questions
What is earslate?
earslate is an Android app that translates nearby speech in real time and plays the translation into your earbuds, so you can follow a conversation in a language you do not speak.
How does earslate's live translation work?
A Quick Settings tile starts a session in one tap. Session audio goes straight from your phone to the AI provider on your own key; ClassEve is not in the path.
How many languages does earslate support?
Spanish, Mandarin, Hindi, Arabic, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Tamil, Telugu, and more — which ones you get depends on Google Gemini, since the translation runs there.
Which devices does earslate run on?
Android 10 or later. Earbuds or headphones are recommended, so the translation does not play aloud into the same conversation.
Does earslate need an internet connection?
Yes. Translation runs through Google Gemini, so earslate needs a network connection during a session.
How much does earslate cost, and do I need a ClassEve account?
earslate is free, with no ClassEve account or subscription. You bring your own AI provider key, stored securely on the phone, and session audio goes straight from your phone to that provider.
