Loquela gives your words a voice. Write or tap in your own language and it speaks aloud in theirs. When they answer, one tap shows what they said in yours. A whole conversation, on both sides, without speaking a word.
Built first for the languages other apps overlook.
Today these are three separate apps — and none of them speaks every language. Loquela does all three, in yours.
Their words appear on screen as they speak. When they stop, one tap brings back what they said in your language, with their own words underneath.
Write or tap a phrase in your language, and Loquela says it out loud in theirs, in a clear and natural voice — right there in the room, loud enough to matter.
The hardest moment is starting. Topic boards for the room you are in, and replies suggested from the conversation itself — the right words, one tap away.
Words fail at the worst moments. Loquela arranges everything before it's needed — so the answer is waiting, not being typed.
The app opens on one question — where are you now? The doctor, the pharmacy, home, the bank: each place has its own colours, its own phrases and its own suggested replies. Favourites sit on the home screen; the full library is a tap away.
The things you actually say, saved once and spoken forever — organised by tags, in an order that never moves under your finger. The ones you reached for lately sit in a strip at the top. Add your own in seconds.
Who you are and how you speak, ready to show before the conversation starts — so no one has to explain, least of all you.
Four words — yes, no, help, stop — are buttons across the top of every board, always in the same four places. The urgent sentences sit behind an Urgent door drawn on every level, never more than two taps away, and Emergency has a door of its own on the home screen. All of them are spoken the moment they're tapped.
The first thing the app asks. Change either language, the voice or the text size any time — every change previews live.
A clinic with no signal, a kitchen table, a counter with a queue behind you. Loquela is designed for real rooms, not demos.
Listening and speaking run on the phone itself, so a dropped connection pauses the translation — never the listening, never the voice, never what was already said.
Every line keeps what was actually said next to its translation, so anyone bilingual in the room can check it. A computer wrote the translation, and it can be wrong — the original is there so you can see when it is.
The whole app is in your language — it is the first thing you choose, not a setting to hunt for. The other language is the one that adapts.
Everything said is saved on your phone and nowhere else. Loquela never emails, prints or shares a conversation — there is no way to, on purpose. You can delete any single conversation, or all of them at once.
After a visit, Loquela can offer to look through what was said and pick out the few things worth keeping — a dose, a date, where to go next. Every one is shown with the actual lines it came from, so it can be checked. It is off until you switch it on, it never asks at home, and nothing is sent unless you say yes.
Loquela shows what is said and speaks what is typed, in the languages you choose. How it fits into a conversation is up to you.
Loquela needs iOS 26. Hearing the other person works best on newer iPhones and iPads — Loquela checks yours and says where it stands before you pay anything. Typing, your phrases and your voice work fully everywhere it installs.
Loquela — from the Latin for a person's own way of speaking.
