Turn Plain English Into Proper Patter

Whit It Actually Does

Ye type in plain English, ye get proper Scottish patter back. No' a word-for-word swap, mind. Scottish isnae just English wi' a funny accent. It's rhythm, attitude, humour and context. The app keeps the meaning intact while giein it the full treatment.

Here's a wee taste of whit comes oot the other end:

Every one of these is in the dictionary wi' a full definition, real voice audio, and a quiz question. The translator isnae a novelty button. It's a doorway intae the language.

Turn It Up: The Gallus Dial

The app has three translation settings. Same sentence, three very different results. Here's "That man is being unreasonable" put through the dial:

Mild keeps it polite. Broad is proper Scottish. Pure Gallus is for when ye want tae commit tae the bit entirely. Ye've been warned.

Works Baith Ways

Ye can also go the other direction. Heard something Scottish and havenae got a clue? Paste it in, get the English sense, then use the dictionary and audio features tae actually learn it. That's the difference between a translator and a learning tool. This one's baith.

No' sure where tae start? Try the dictionary. Over 1,900 words wi' real voice audio, phonetic guides, etymology, and quiz questions. It's free.

For Tourists, In-Laws an' Homesick Scots

Whether ye're heading tae Scotland for the first time, trying tae keep up wi' yer Scottish partner's family, or ye've been away for years and want tae keep the patter sharp, this is the tool for ye. I built it because I got tired of explaining the same words tae the same people. Now I just send them the app.

It supports 50+ languages, so even if English isnae yer first language, ye can still get intae the Scottish. The app handles the translation layer; ye just enjoy the patter.
