Your pocket interpreter · USA

Don't just translate the menu — know what you're eating.

Wayfarer explains every dish in your language — the ingredients, the flavor, the things a menu never tells you. Plus the phrases you need to order and check into your hotel. Made for travelers from China, Japan, Korea, and Spain.

Three real problems

Not a translator app. A guide for the moments that trip travelers up.

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.

Order food without freezing

Ask for a table, flag allergies, request the check, split the bill — the phrases waiters actually respond to.

“Clam chowder?” Now you know before you order.

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.

On-device AI

It reads a menu the way a local would explain it.

Point your camera and Wayfarer tells you what a dish actually is — the ingredients, the flavor, the things a menu never spells out. It all happens right on your phone: fast, private, and working even when the signal doesn't.
