Phone Line Translation, in Real Time

Add live AI translation to any phone line — landline, VoIP, mobile, or business PBX. Keep your number and handsets; no app, adapter, or new hardware. Just a normal call that everyone understands.

What is phone line translation?

Phone line translation adds real-time AI interpretation to a phone line so each side of the call hears their own language. TalkTool routes the call through its AI, which listens, translates, and speaks both directions live. It works on any line — landline, VoIP, mobile, or a business PBX — with no app, adapter, or new hardware, and you keep your existing number.

Phone Line Translation FAQ

What counts as a phone line for translation?
Any line that makes or receives calls: a traditional copper landline, a VoIP line, a mobile number, or an extension on a business PBX. TalkTool treats them all as ordinary phone calls and translates them the same way.
Do I need to replace my phone line or number?
No. You forward your existing line to TalkTool, so your number, handsets, and carrier stay exactly as they are. Callers keep dialing the number they already know.
Does translation work on VoIP and PBX systems?
Yes. Whether your line is copper, VoIP, or a PBX extension, TalkTool handles it as a standard call, so translation behaves the same across all of them.
Is there a delay on the call?
There is a short, natural pause — typically around two seconds — while the AI translates and speaks each sentence. Most people adapt within the first few exchanges, the same way they would with a human interpreter.
How much does phone line translation cost?
A flat $0.30 per minute of translated call time, with no contracts and no per-seat fees. You only pay for the minutes you translate.
Can my whole team use it across different lines?
Yes. You can add translation to a single line or many, and route each line to the right person or language. Any team member can take any call without being bilingual.
