Order food without freezing
Ask for a table, flag allergies, request the check, split the bill — the phrases waiters actually respond to.
Your pocket interpreter · USA
Wayfarer turns the three hardest moments of traveling in America — the restaurant table, the hotel front desk, and an all-English menu — into something you can actually handle. Built for travelers from China, Japan, Korea, and Spain.
Three real problems
Every phrase is written for the actual situation and read aloud in clear English, so you can hold up your phone or say it yourself.
Ask for a table, flag allergies, request the check, split the bill — the phrases waiters actually respond to.
Check in early, ask for late checkout, report a problem, get directions — without the awkward silence.
Point your camera at the menu. Get each dish explained — what it is, how it tastes, what to watch for.
Menu scan
Snap the menu and Wayfarer reads it back in your language — ingredients, flavor, and a heads-up on anything spicy, raw, or rich. No more pointing and hoping.
Runs on your phone
Your phrasebook and pronunciations live on the device, so they're ready in the subway, on the plane, or anywhere your data drops. Menu explanations run on-device with Apple Intelligence or a model you download once — your photos never have to leave your phone.
Everything in the pack
Every phrase reads aloud in natural English — even with the mute switch on.
Type or paste and go both ways — powered by Apple Translate or an on-device model.
Chat your way through a menu, a neighborhood, or a tricky request.
Photograph receipts and documents — read, filed, and searchable, all offline.
Full interface in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and English.
Set it up once at home; it just works the second you step off the plane.
Wayfarer is coming to the App Store for iPhone. Order, check in, and read the menu — with confidence.
