For couples who don't share a first language.
Loving someone in another language shouldn't mean copy-pasting every message into a translator, or settling for the half of each other you can say in a shared third language. Espero lets you each write in your own language and read every message in yours — automatically, with the original always one tap away.
You type in your language; your partner reads it in theirs, phrased naturally rather than word-for-word. No language settings, no "translate" button to remember — you just text, the way couples do.
Send a voice note and Espero transcribes and translates it: your partner hears you and reads what you said in their language. Photos work too — a handwritten note, a sign, a menu — read and described in yours.
Meeting the parents is hard enough without a language wall. Create a group and everyone writes in their own language and reads in theirs — so you're part of the conversation, not waiting to be translated.
Your messages are encrypted in transit and at rest on EU servers, and used only to deliver and translate them — never sold, never for ads. Because translation means the server reads the text, ordinary chats are not end-to-end encrypted, and we say so plainly. See the security model.
