An example conversation. Real translations can make mistakes, so check anything important.
  1. It’s so good to finally meet you. → Cháu rất vui vì cuối cùng cũng được gặp bà.
  2. Bà cũng vui lắm. Cháu ăn cơm chưa? → I’m very happy too. Have you eaten yet?
  3. Not yet. Something smells wonderful. → Dạ chưa ạ. Có mùi gì thơm quá.
  4. Bà nấu phở đấy. Ngồi xuống ăn với cả nhà nhé. → I made phở. Sit down and eat with the family.

How it works

  1. Choose two languages

    English with Vietnamese, or English with Chinese.

  2. Put the phone between you

    Each person reads their own half. The top half turns to face the person across the table.

  3. Just talk

    Sabiamo listens hands-free and shows your words to the other person in their language. Turn on spoken translation to hear them aloud.

Made for everyday conversation with family, friends and hosts. Not for medical, legal, immigration or emergency situations.

Privacy

Your conversations stay on your phone, and you can turn saving off or delete them at any time. To translate, audio is sent to speech and translation services, which the app names before the microphone turns on.
