Scan any sign, speak with anyone, keep translating offline in China. 118 languages. Point your camera at the menu. Readings stack over every character — and it still works in China, without a VPN. Tova Translate is the camera, voice, and text translator built for travel in China, across Asia, and beyond. WHAT MAKES TOVA DIFFERENT • Real Hanyu Pinyin for Mandarin — above every character, in real time • Real Jyutping for Cantonese — not Mandarin pinyin mapped onto Cantonese • Real romaji for Japanese — above every kana and kanji • Real revised romanization for Korean — above every hangul syllable • 118 target languages, 11 camera scripts, full per-character readings WORKS OFFLINE IN CHINA — NO VPN When the backend is unreachable, Apple's on-device Translation framework kicks in automatically. No setup, no detours. LIVE CAMERA OCR Point your camera at a sign, menu, or contract. Tova detects the text and overlays per-character readings in real time.

Speech you translate on the iPhone shows up there too, including the three-way Boardroom line-up, so you can follow a conversation at a glance. The watch is the remote — every translation still runs on your iPhone, so quality, readings and offline behaviour are unchanged. Apple Watch is included with Tova Pro.
