A traveller and a spice vendor in a Marrakech souk, talking through a phone held between them

Wakha

Talk to anyone in Morocco.

Even if you don't speak a word of Darija. Put the phone between you and Wakha translates out loud, both directions, in the Moroccan Arabic people actually speak on the street.

One screen. Both sides of the conversation.

The screen splits down the middle and the top half flips around, so the person across from you reads their half the right way up. You speak, they hear it in Darija. They answer, you get it back in yours. Nobody passes the phone back and forth.

Spoken aloud
In a natural voice, both directions, every time.
Latin or Arabic
Read Darija however the person in front of you reads it.

Wakha split screen, one half for each speaker

Three ways to talk

01

Face to face

Put the phone between you. Your half is right-side up for you, theirs is rotated toward them. Nobody passes the phone back and forth.

02

Side by side

Sitting together? One shared button that works out which language was just spoken.

03

Chat

Type or speak, like a messaging app, with everything saved to come back to.

Real Darija, not textbook Arabic

Most translators give you Modern Standard Arabic, which nobody uses in daily life. Wakha speaks Darija the way it sounds in Marrakech, Casablanca, and Fes, including the French words Moroccans mix in constantly.

Hear it, repeat it, slow it down

Every translation is spoken aloud in a natural voice. Didn't catch it? Replay it. Still not landing? Slow it to half speed, or loop it until it clicks.

Works offline once saved

Bookmark the phrases you keep needing. They're tagged by scenario and the audio lives on your phone, so they work with no signal at all.

WhatsApp voice notes

Got a voice message you can't understand? Share it into Wakha and hear what it means. Type a reply and send the Darija straight back.

Built for the moments a phrasebook can't handle.

Haggling in the souk. Explaining where you're going to a taxi driver. Asking a pharmacist for something. Making a friend.
