Google Translate is great. This is for living here.
Live translation is the bonus that carries you while you learn. For a quick word, keep Google Translate — Voca Vela is for the conversations your new life depends on.
| Voca Vela | Google Translate | |
|---|---|---|
| A real back-and-forth conversation | Both of you just talk — it speaks each side out loud | Turn-based — tap, talk, pass the phone |
| Signs, menus, and documents | Point the camera | Point the camera |
| Remembers the phrases you actually used | Saved from your real conversations | Manual phrasebook |
| Teaches you to say it yourself | AI practice tutor, built from your real days | — |

Honestly: for a single word, offline use, or a rare language, Google Translate is excellent. Keep both.
Made by someone who moved to a new country
Vocavela started after moving to a new country and realizing that real conversations are nothing like language lessons. A café order, a doctor visit, a form, a landlord, a label in a shop — these are the moments where translation has to work immediately.
“We moved from the states and wasn't expecting it to be so hard to find an english speaking person in our village.”
“I do like visiting Bangkok and the islands two times a year, and this is the first time I was able to speak freely for the whole month. Before that I was only able to say “Hello” in Thai, it is definitely easier now.🥹”
“Nobody in the câmara wanted to speak English with me. I just put the phone between us and we talked like normal people. Now the tutor teaches me same phrases I used there.”
“I said more German this month than in the whole integration course.”
“I take my mother to her appointments and for the first time I was not the translator. The doctor spoke, she heard it in Arabic and answered for herself. You don't know what that means for us.”
“First time the pharmacy lady didn't switch to English on me 🙌”

Before you ask
Is it really free to start?
Yes. The free plan gives you live translation, photo and text translation with hourly limits, and one full practice session. No card needed.
How is this different from Google Translate?
Google Translate is built for looking things up. Voca Vela is built for a live conversation: both people just talk, it speaks each side out loud, saves the phrases you used, and helps you practice them later.
How is this different from Duolingo?
Apps like Duolingo teach with exercises and streaks. Voca Vela teaches by talking: a live voice tutor speaks with you about your real life, corrects you gently, and brings back what you got wrong until it sticks. And when a real conversation arrives before you're ready, it translates it live.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It works in your browser, on any phone or computer. You can add it to your home screen like an app.
Which languages does it speak?
39 languages — including Portuguese, Spanish, German, French, Ukrainian, and Arabic, plus your own.
How does the 3-day trial work?
You get the full app — every feature, including the live voice tutor — for 3 days. Cancel any time during the trial and you pay nothing.
What if I buy it and it's not for me?
Monthly cancels anytime. Lifetime comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee — write to support and you get your money back.
