Invite someone you trust

There's no algorithm pairing you with a stranger. You send an invite link to a partner, a friend, someone from family. You're always the one deciding who's let in.

Whatever language you're learning, say it like you mean it.

Questions

What is Blab?

A chat app that translates as you type. You write in your language, they read it in theirs — and the other way around.

How's this different from Duolingo or HelloTalk?

Duolingo teaches you alone. HelloTalk pairs you with a stranger. Blab is for the person you already know — no lessons, no matching algorithm.

When does it launch?

Soon. Leave your email and we'll tell you the moment it's live.

Is it free?

Yes, to start.
