2. Description of the Service
Anyvois is a real-time multilingual voice chat mobile application that enables users to communicate across different languages through automatic translation. Key features include:
- PTT (Push-To-Talk) voice messages: the user speaks in their language; the text is transcribed on-device (STT), translated by the server, and synthesized into speech on the recipient's device (TTS). Supports up to 30 languages.
- Private 1:1 chat: direct communication with another user with real-time automatic translation.
- Channels: group discussion spaces, both public (temporary) and private (persistent). The "Welcome" channel is a special permanent channel open to all users.
- LiveSense / Live Translate: near-real-time translation of streaming audio conversations, supporting over 100 languages with latency under 300ms, via integration with the Gladia service.
- Vivavois: high-quality text translation powered by neural machine translation engines (Marian NMT).
- Invite system: deep links and in-app invitations to join channels.
- Overlay PiP (Picture-in-Picture): display of translated messages in an overlay while the app is in the background.
- Interface in 30 languages: the entire App UI is available in the world's major languages.
The Provider reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature of the Service at any time, with or without prior notice, except as otherwise required by law.

Messages sent in public channels are visible to all channel members. The user acknowledges that such messages may be read by people worldwide and agrees to act accordingly.
