GrandkinsA video call app that translates Spanish to English live — for family calls
Both directions, while you're still talking
This isn't a turn-taking translator: everyone talks naturally, and each person's phone shows subtitles and plays a translated voice in their own language within seconds. The conversation keeps its rhythm — interruptions, laughter, all of it.
For bilingual and mixed families
If you're the bilingual one, you know the job of being the family interpreter: every call runs through you, and your spouse and your parents (or your in-laws) never quite talk to each other. On Grandkins they talk directly — Spanish on one side, English on the other — in any pairing. Portuguese is covered too, along with 13 more languages, so multi-country families work in every combination.
The kids stop being translators
When a child interprets, the call belongs to the translation. With live translation, the kids just talk to their abuela — and she gets to know them in her own words. Between calls, voice messages arrive translated as text plus a tap-to-play voice, so a goodnight message in English reaches her as Spanish, in a voice, before she sleeps.
One-tap simple on her side
Abuela's page is in Spanish, pins to her home screen like an app, and shows the family as big photo buttons — one tap to call, hold-to-talk to answer with a voice note. Nothing to install, no password. See why this matters for grandparents.
Common questions
Does it translate Spanish to English and English to Spanish at the same time?
Yes — both directions at once. Each side speaks naturally and each side sees subtitles and hears a translated voice in their own language while the other talks.
Does the Spanish speaker need to install anything?
No. She gets one personal page in Spanish that pins to her home screen — big photo buttons, one tap to call, no app store, no account, no password.
We also have Portuguese speakers in the family — covered?
Yes. Portuguese is one of the 16 languages, and every combination works — Spanish↔English, Portuguese↔English, even Spanish↔Portuguese on the same family plan.
Can my spouse talk to my parents without me on the call?
Yes — once connected, they call each other directly, each speaking and hearing their own language.
