BabelTable support

How do I get started?

Open Settings, choose two different languages, and tap Download language models while online. Keep the app open until Ready for offline use appears, then tap Start translating and allow microphone access.

Does it work offline?

Yes, after the language pair is prepared. Speech recognition and translation then run on your device, including in airplane mode. If iOS removes the models, prepare them again while online.

My language pair isn't ready

Availability depends on your device and Apple's speech and translation models. BabelTable requires iOS 27 and a device that supports on-device speech transcription. Check your pair in Settings before traveling.

The translation went to the wrong side

Select the speaking language before each person talks, and speak one at a time. Overlapping speech and automatic speaker detection are not supported.

The microphone stopped

Backgrounding the app, a phone call, or another audio interruption pauses capture and keeps the visible text. Return to the app or tap Resume to continue. Speech during a pause is not captured.

Where are my conversations?

Tap Stop to save the conversation, then open History. Transcripts are stored only on your device; you can share or delete them there.

Is BabelTable free?

Starting with version 1.1, live translation is free for 2 hours a day, and read-aloud, large text, and History search are free for everyone. Only time the microphone is listening counts; the allowance resets at local midnight. BabelTable Pro removes the daily limit and adds auto read-aloud, a phrasebook, bilingual PDF export, on-device summaries, and themes and app icons: US$14.99 once (Lifetime, no subscription), US$9.99 a year, or US$1.99 a month (local prices are shown in the app). If you installed version 1.0, you keep unlimited translation and every Pro tool automatically.

What happens when the free time runs out?

The current phrase finishes and the conversation is saved to History, then the upgrade screen appears. You can upgrade to continue right away or come back tomorrow. When less than 30 minutes are left, the home screen shows the remaining time.

Restore Pro or manage a subscription

Open Settings → BabelTable Pro and tap Restore Purchases on a device signed in with the same Apple Account. Pro keeps working offline, including airplane mode. To cancel or change a subscription, tap Manage Subscription there or go to your App Store account settings. Refunds are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.

中文帮助

怎么开始？在“设置”里选两种不同语言，联网点“Download language models”，等出现“Ready for offline use”后点“Start translating”并允许麦克风。
能离线用吗？语言模型准备好后可以，包括飞行模式。如果系统删除了模型，联网重新准备即可。
语言组合不可用？取决于设备和 Apple 的语音、翻译模型，需要 iOS 27 及支持设备端语音转写的设备。出行前请在设置里先检查。
译文显示到了另一边？每个人说话前先选好说话语言，并轮流说话；不支持同时说话或自动识别说话人。
麦克风停了？切到后台、来电或其他音频中断会暂停并保留已有文字，回到 App 或点 Resume 继续，暂停期间的话不会被收录。
对话记录在哪？点 Stop 保存后在“History”里查看，记录只保存在本机，可分享或删除。
收费吗？从 1.1 版起，所有功能免费，实时翻译每天免费 2 小时（只计算麦克风收听的时间，本地午夜重置）。BabelTable Pro 取消每日限制：一次性 US$14.99（终身，无需订阅）、每年 US$9.99 或每月 US$1.99（以 App 内显示的本地价格为准）。安装过 1.0 版的用户自动保留无限时长。
免费时长用完会怎样？当前这句话会说完并保存到 History，然后显示升级页面；可以升级继续，或明天再用。剩余不到 30 分钟时首页会显示剩余时间。
恢复购买 / 管理订阅：在“设置 → BabelTable Pro”点 Restore Purchases（需同一 Apple 账户）。Pro 离线和飞行模式下也有效。取消订阅可点 Manage Subscription 或在 App Store 账户设置中操作；退款请通过 reportaproblem.apple.com 向 Apple 申请。
