The offline, private Google Translate alternative
Google Translate is great — until you're on a plane, standing in a foreign market with no signal, or you'd rather your conversations didn't go to the cloud. Rasterdeck Translator does all of it on your phone: voice, camera and voice cloning across 40+ languages, fully offline, one-time purchase.
| Rasterdeck Translator | Google Translate | |
|---|---|---|
| Works fully offline (voice + camera) | Yes — everything runs on-device | Partial — text & camera work offline with downloaded packs; voice conversation needs internet |
| Voice-to-voice translation offline | Yes | Needs internet |
| Camera / scan-to-translate offline | Yes | Yes, for downloaded languages (photo import may need internet) |
| On-device voice cloning | Yes (Pro) | No |
| Runs entirely on your device (private) | Yes — nothing leaves your phone | Online translations are processed on Google servers; only offline mode is on-device |
| Account required | No | Not required to translate (only to sync history) |
| Collects / monetizes your data | No | Usage data + online translations handled under Google’s Privacy Policy |
| Cost | One-time — from $2.99, free trial | Free (cloud-based) |
100% offline
On a plane, abroad with no signal, or off-grid — it just works. No connection, ever.
Private by design
Speech recognition, translation and voice all run on-device. Your conversations never touch a server.
Voice + camera
Speak and hear it back in another language, or photograph a menu, sign or document.
