Bascule: Real Live Translator
Launching today
Bascule turns your iPhone into a real interpreter for two. Hold the phone between you: each person reads their own half of the screen, and one tilt hands the conversation over. What you just said is translated and read aloud on the other side. No buttons, no passing the phone back and forth, no awkward silence while someone figures out an app. It adapts to natural pauses, works offline, and keeps notes and summaries of your conversation. Free, with Bascule+ for smarter AI translation.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
Most translation apps make you tap, wait, then pass the phone back and forth. The conversation stops every few seconds. We built Bascule so it just keeps going.
How it works: hold the phone between you. Each person reads their own half of the screen. Speak naturally, tilt the phone, and Bascule translates and reads it out loud on the other side.
Here's a quick demo.
A few things we cared about:
• Pauses adapted to real silence, not a button
• Works offline, fully on device
• Swipe to retry, replay, or rephrase (simpler, clearer, warmer)
• Save key passages and get a summary when you're done
• Picks up where you left off after an interruption.
We'd love your feedback. Where would Bascule help you most: travel, appointments, work, or somewhere we haven't thought of?
We're launching on Product Hunt in beta on purpose. Join via TestFlight and you can try the whole app, including Bascule+, with Apple's sandboxed purchase flow, so nothing real gets charged. We want hunters to poke at the full experience before App Store day one.
