So what is it?

My Translator Mobile is a TypeScript mobile app that provides live speech translation during talks and lectures. The problem it solves is the lack of a human interpreter when attending a talk in a language you do not speak. You point your phone at the speaker, and the app listens, auto-detects the spoken language, and displays the translation in your chosen language in real time on screen. It supports two AI backends: Soniox, which is cheaper at around $0.12 per hour and outputs text only, and OpenAI Realtime, which costs around $4 per hour and adds optional spoken voice output. You bring your own API key for whichever service you choose, and that key is stored in the device's secure keychain. Audio goes directly to the chosen provider with no intermediate backend. After a session ends, you can copy or share the transcript, or generate a summary using OpenAI. Session history is stored only on your device. The app is available on iOS via TestFlight and on Android as a downloadable APK. Developers can build it using Expo SDK and React Native.
