on the app. Expect frequent updates and improvements!

The Human Languge Compiler works <b>completely off-line</b>, without
internet connection, although being on-line may give you better
internet connection, when doing text-based translation.
Even speech works off-line in some languages,
but being on-line may give you better
speech input and output.
The app is small (around 23 MB for all languages).
We do not show ads.
You can also install third-party off-line speech engines, such as SVOX.
