¿Llegaste bien a casa, mi amor?

How it works

Choose your reading language once. No copy-paste.

After that, you do not need to press Translate. Write naturally — everyone else reads it in theirs.

1

Write in your language

Type the way you always do. Finnish, Spanish, Japanese, Arabic — whatever feels like home.

2

AI translates automatically

Each message is translated in the background for every reader in their selected language. The original remains available.

3

Everyone reads in theirs

Each person sees the message in their own language, with the original always one tap away.

Private & encrypted

Stored on EU-hosted app servers and encrypted in transit and at rest. Content is processed for delivery and translation.

Learn as you chat

Hear any message aloud and see pronunciation for other scripts — pick up the languages of the people you talk to.

Stories, translated for everyone

Post 24-hour photo, video or text stories — captions and overlays are translated for every viewer, and story videos get subtitles in theirs.

Privacy & security

Private by design

Your messages are encrypted. We send processors only the data needed for the declared cloud feature, and explain those boundaries plainly.

Your email stays private

You sign in by email and people find you by username — your email address is never shown to other users.

Encrypted in transit & at rest

Messages are encrypted on the way to our EU servers and while stored. To translate a message, the server processes its text — so it can read it, and we say so plainly.

Your data, your control

Cloud-chat content is processed for delivery and translation. Eligible cloud messages may also receive semantic-search embeddings while that server feature is enabled; relevant eligible content is processed for summaries, AI answers, assistant replies or pronunciation requested by an authorized participant. Content is not sold or used for advertising.

FAQ

Good questions

How does language selection work?

Choose your reading language during setup or later in Settings. Write in your own language; each reader sees a translation in their selected language. The original is always one tap away.

Which languages are supported?

Espero's catalog includes 100+ languages across Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, Indic, CJK and other writing systems. Translation quality and feature availability can vary by language; the original message remains available.

Is it really private?

Cloud-chat messages are encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest on EU-hosted app servers. Our server and AI processor handle their text for delivery and translation. Eligible cloud messages may also receive semantic-search embeddings while that server feature is enabled, and relevant eligible content is processed when an authorized participant requests a summary, AI answer, assistant reply or pronunciation help. Messages are not sold or used for advertising. See the security model linked below.

How much does translation cost me?

Everyday text translation is free and is not blocked by a character cap, and so is every look — colors, patterns and your own wallpaper. AI media tools use monthly fair-use allowances: free includes voice notes, a few video translations and a taste of the live interpreter. Espero+ (4,99 €/month or 39,99 €/year) adds AI catch-up summaries, a much larger media allowance, full-length video translation and family sharing.
