Type human. Hear animal.
Animalish turns any sentence you type into the voice of a dog, dolphin, hyena, elephant, or owl — with a new animal joining monthly. Send your friend 30 seconds of perfectly furious hyena cackles. They'll know what they did.

Frequently asked
If your question isn't here, drop us a note.
Is Animalish free?
Yes. The app is free with banner and rewarded ads. Guests get a small daily quota; signing in or watching a rewarded ad unlocks more translations.
Do I need an account?
No. You can use Animalish anonymously — we generate a per-device identifier so daily limits work. Signing up with email syncs your library across devices.
What languages are supported?
Today: English and Japanese (日本語). The whole UI, animal names, and quota messages localize based on your preference. More languages are on the roadmap.
Are these the real sounds animals make?
They're stylized. We mix real-ish samples with pitch and rhythm shaped by the text you type — so longer sentences mean longer clips, exclamation points hit harder, and so on. It's a translator with vibes, not a dictionary.
Which animals are available?
Three at launch — dog, dolphin, and owl. A new animal ships monthly based on in-app votes — tap the "More soon..." card to pick who's next.
Does it work without internet?
Translation requires a connection (we generate the audio server-side). Once a clip is rendered, it's cached locally so you can replay it offline.
Where are my translations stored?
Translations and their audio are stored on our servers so the share link keeps working. Read more in our Privacy Policy.
How do I delete my data?
Submit the data deletion form with your email. We process requests within 30 days.
