Cove Travel

Cove incluye un modelo Google Gemma que se ejecuta en tu teléfono. La primera vez que abres la app descarga el modelo una sola vez; después, cada traducción — imagen, voz y texto — se procesa localmente.

Cove Travel uses Google's Gemma 4 E2B model — an open-weight multimodal large language model that handles text, images, and audio. The same model powers all four Cove apps (Travel, Voice, Photo, Health) and is shared across them via a single on-device directory, so installing more Cove apps does not duplicate the download. We do not use Google Translate's NMT engine, OpenAI APIs, or any cloud translator. The model file is approximately 2.5 GB and you can verify its SHA-256 from the download page before installing.

Cove Travel has a free tier with 5 AI runs per day — enough to read a menu, scan a sign, and have a short conversation every day without paying. If you need more, Cove Travel Pro is a one-time purchase of $3.99 (no subscription, no monthly fee, no recurring charge). Pro removes the daily cap. There is no trial countdown, no ads, no upsell screens during translation, and no account signup required at any point. If you uninstall and reinstall, the Pro entitlement restores via Google Play's standard restore-purchases flow.

Cove Travel cubre los principales idiomas de viaje, incluidos inglés, español, francés, alemán, italiano, japonés, coreano, chino, portugués, ruso, árabe, turco y tailandés. Se añaden más con cada actualización del modelo.

Yes — fully. Point your phone camera at a menu, sign, handwritten note, or product label, and Cove reads the text and translates it without any network call. Optical character recognition (OCR) and translation both happen on-device using the same Gemma 4 E2B model. There is no server-side OCR fallback. This is the main difference from Google Translate's offline mode, which downloads a smaller text-only language pack but still routes camera and live-AR features through the cloud. Cove's camera translation works identically with airplane mode on or off.

Yes — voice translation is fully offline. Tap the microphone, speak in your language, and Cove transcribes, translates, and (optionally) reads the result aloud in the target language, all on your device. Two-way conversation mode lets you and another person speak alternately and have Cove bounce between languages without any uploads. There is no per-minute cost, no streaming to a server, and no account. Background noise tolerance is good for café and street settings; very loud crowds can degrade accuracy, which is a real limit of running a model locally rather than a marketing footnote.

No. No hay componente de servidor. Las fotos, el audio y el texto traducido se procesan en memoria en tu teléfono y nunca lo dejan. Tampoco recogemos analítica de uso dentro de la app.

Para tareas cotidianas de viaje — menús, carteles, conversaciones cortas — está cerca. Para documentos formales largos un traductor en la nube con un modelo más grande seguirá siendo más pulido. Cove está hecho para el equilibrio en el que la privacidad y la disponibilidad sin conexión importan más que una fluidez perfecta.
