For the people who will never install an app
Most translation apps only work when both people have them. A landlord, a hotel front desk, a supplier, a clinic's reception or a grandparent who only uses a basic phone usually won't download anything. With Trilyo you call the number they already have, and they just answer.
- Book or change an appointment, a table or a delivery in a language you don't speak
- Sort out a rental, a repair or a bill with someone abroad
- Call relatives who don't use smartphones, in their own language
- Follow up with a supplier or customer by phone instead of email

How good is the translation?
It works best with clear audio, one person speaking at a time and a short pause after each turn while the translation plays. Quality also depends on the language pair.
