Development Story
Our development journey began with daily work experiences:
Wanting to input long text at once and read translations later
Needing stable and fast translation regardless of internet connectivity
Requiring a translation method that respects security and privacy
These straightforward needs led to the development of LingoShift.
Use Cases
Easy Daily Translation
Use it for newsletters, social media posts, podcast transcripts, learning materials, and academic papers. Process long texts without character limits while maintaining privacy. We're exploring integration with AI models to provide more advanced translation features in the future.
Work Anywhere
Once you download the translation models, you can translate without relying on internet connectivity. Work comfortably on planes, trains, in cafes with unstable connections, or in libraries. Make the most of your time outside the office for language learning and business document review.
Mac App Plans
On the Mac App Store, we offer a free version you can try immediately and a Pro version with unlimited translation. For detailed features and pricing, please check the LingoShift app page on the Mac App Store.
Future Development
We're working on new features to make translation even more convenient.
Integration with Various AI Models
We are developing prototypes using APIs from OpenAI, known for ChatGPT, and Anthropic, the developer of Claude. By leveraging the latest AI technology, we expect to achieve more natural translations and improved accuracy for specialized texts. If you're interested in using or researching translation applications incorporating AI (LLM), please contact us through our inquiry form. Let's create better translation experiences together.
