AI Video Translator App for iOS & Android

AI Video Translator App on iOS and Android.

In plain English

A phone app from Simon Liang translates videos on iPhone and Android. You capture a clip or open one you already have, and the AI does the heavy work of turning the speech into another language, on the phone or through an online service. People subscribe after a free try because they want that translation on the phone they already carry. They find the app in the phone store and through short videos. The AI does most of the translating and the billing, while Simon checks quality, helps users, and handles unusual cases.
