EarPal is a private, on-device interpreter app that listens to conversations, identifies multiple speakers, and delivers live translations in your chosen language. It supports 30+ languages using Apple's on-device models for speech recognition, vision, and translation, plus custom speaker diarization. Users can point the camera at text for real-time overlays on signs, menus, and screenshots. Two listening modes (Accurate and Live) and color-coded or voice-differentiated output via AirPods make it ideal for natural, multi-person interactions without cloud dependency, ads, or data tracking.
In the Translation & localization space, EarPal Translator takes a focused approach. Removes the barrier of understanding conversations and text in foreign languages without relying on cloud services, recording, or manual turn-taking. EarPal Translator is a consumer product aimed at travelers and multilingual conversation participants. There is a free tier. It runs on iOS.
Alvaro Escarcha Esteban builds and maintains EarPal Translator, and the product first shipped in 2026. Among its 8 catalogued features are Live Translation, Multi-speaker Detection, and Camera Translation.
