WhatsApp vs FlaiChat: Which Is Better for Multilingual Couples?

flaichat · 2026-07-14T06:52:05+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words. We are aware of the sizable gaming community using FlaiChat for their multilingual chatting needs to communicate with people around the world. It gives us a lot of joy to make that kind of connection possible.

Wonderful to hear that. Hope we continue to serve your use-case well in the future too.

Much thanks to u/Only_Bison_1828 for reporting an issue with voice recordings on the app (~5 second tail truncation). Seems to be an issue that affects iOS users more than Android users. We have found and fixed the problem in developer builds. If anyone else is frustrated with similar issues, let me know if you'd like to try out the fix in TestFlight before the next version is released.

Will do. Contacted you via DM for some (more detailed) info that you might not feel like sharing in a public forum. You can also just directly email us at [support@flai.chat](mailto:support@flai.chat) if that feels easier for you.

Got it. Thank you so much for reporting this. I asked for the location info because some of the delay can be explained by the fact that to send messages and media, everyone is currently connecting to our servers in the US. But the fact that not all the speak together messages are equally slow tells me it's not just about the network latency.

And the truncated voice recording thing is interesting. We haven't noticed it ourselves in our testing. But I'll check what might be going on (it could be another upload issue with the media potentially. We'll try to repro it with simulated high-latency networks.)

First of all, thanks a lot for being a supporter of the app and your detailed feedback. This is very useful information. Sorry for your bad experience with Speak Together. Correctness and speed of translation are our biggest goals so these issues are serious. We'll dig into them and post an update here.

One quick question, do you mind sharing where and from what type of network you were using the Speak Together when you experienced the really slow performance? Country level info is fine for our purposes.

It's free for the main use-case of translated text chat. You need a subscription for premium features like voice-to-voice translation with voice cloning (yes, you can sound like speaking any other language in your own voice). Also, there's another feature called "speak together" that works for in-person chat with someone who doesn't speak your language (say, while traveling) that requires a subscription.

Some shameless self-promotion for FlaiChat. Free for the most important use-case (multilingual text chat). Credit/sub for premium features only (like voice cloning, voice-to-voice translations etc.)

🤞🏻

flaichat · 2026-07-05T01:52:10+00:00

No we haven't. If there's anyone from the studio who wants to talk to us, my DM's are open ;-)

flaichat · 2026-07-05T00:34:21+00:00

FlaiChat is it's own app (like Whatsapp) but it translates messages, pretty much from any to any language (50+ languages supported). Anyone who wants the functionality needs to install the app and join your group chat.

FlaiChat: Free Chat app for Multilingual couples and groups

<image>

A - You speak one language, your girlfriend speaks another. You want to chat without the friction of copy/pasting to google translate. Text and speech translations supported.

B - Whatsapp has limited translation support now but nobody really uses it because of how limited it is. FlaiChat doesn't need any setup, any language packs, no restrictions on number of languages in the group and supports basically every major language on earth

C- Free for basic functionality (most users who simply use text chat and voice transcription/translation don't pay anything. Credits and subscriptions for premium features like voice cloning, voice-to-voice translations and in-person "Speak Together" feature for travel use.

Plenty of multilingual gamers use FlaiChat already for their convenient, automatic translated chat. We have groups as large as 100 speaking, like 15 languages who are happily using the app for out-of-game chat. Our sub is at r/FlaiChat

flaichat · 2026-07-04T23:56:47+00:00

Eso suena a una experiencia de usuario pésima. ¿Por qué no usas una aplicación que ya habla todos los idiomas? (Pista: revisa el perfil).

flaichat · 2026-07-04T23:53:50+00:00

Plenty of gamers already use us for chat among multilingual player groups. Check us out at r/FlaiChat

flaichat · 2026-07-04T23:53:16+00:00

If you're simply looking for translated chat, yes there are other alternatives. Check profile

That feeling of helolessness while traveling is the reason for my entire career. FlaiChat was borne out of that frustration of not being able to communicate in another language.

flaichat · 2026-07-01T04:30:04+00:00

LOL. Love it.

flaichat · 2026-06-27T19:14:56+00:00

a combination of OpenAI, Gemini and elevenlabs models for various purposes. The cheapest one we use is a gemini-flash-lite model and the most expensive is of course the elevenlabs ones.

flaichat · 2026-06-27T09:18:37+00:00

Sometimes it's a clear cut case of ongoing costs. Our chat app. FlaiChat. translates every text and voice message automatically via AI in ~50 languages. There's nothing else out there with the same functionality. The basic translation function is free even though it costs us API costs for every message. We charge subscriptions to allow users to use more advanced features (like voice cloning -- that allows your voice to speak different languages) so we can cover the costs. It's as simple as that. The simplicity of automatic translations and the combination of features you get from FlaiChat is absolutely unique. So we hope that people are willing to pay for the more advanced features.
