Multilingual by default: companion speech that follows your iPhone

If you don't live in English all day, your AI companion shouldn't assume you do.

Scowld has multilingual speech settings. By default it follows your iPhone's language, and you can set overrides when you want something different. So the companion can speak and understand in the language you actually use, without you hunting through a config the first time you open it.

Where this fits in the voice loop:

  • It defaults to your iPhone language out of the box.
  • You can override it in settings when you want a specific language.
  • It works alongside your chosen speech-to-text and text-to-speech providers, so transcription and the spoken reply line up with your language settings.

Combined with the rest of Scowld, a VRM character with lip sync and expressions, bring-your-own-key providers, and hands-free wake mode, you get a companion that meets you where you are linguistically.

It's iOS only, MIT licensed, and built solo. Sensible defaults, with the knobs there when you want them.

Set your language and start talking from the site.
