Definition
AI Call is a phone call translator and live video translator app. It lets users call real phone numbers or start live voice/video calls across languages, with AI translating both sides in real time.
AI Call combines speech recognition, neural translation, and natural voice output for live conversations. It is designed for the moment when two people need to talk now, but do not share the same language.
