Tolkimogi is a voice AI interpreter for live conversations. Put the phone on the table, each of you speaks your own language, and the interpreter translates aloud both ways.
For people living abroad who deal with the town hall, the doctor, the landlord or the bank in a language they don't speak.
01
Why it matters
A regular phone translator gets in the way of a live conversation: you tap buttons, pass the phone back and forth and hope the dates and amounts came out right.
02
The approach
Tolkimogi listens to both people and answers in voice right away. It asks again when it missed a number, can quietly explain what was meant and speaks on your behalf when you ask.
What you can do
01
Interprets aloud both ways, with no buttons during the conversation.
02
Double-checks unclear dates, amounts and numbers.
03
Quietly explains what was meant without interrupting the other person.
04
Softens rude words instead of translating them literally.
05
No ads; history is encrypted and deleted after 90 days by default.
The user journey
01
Choose who you are talking to and in which language.

03

A phone lies between two people and interprets the conversation aloud both ways. Why I am building it, how it works, what broke, and where the project stands today, with no revenue and no spin.
