When to use it
From install to action
Download Acti and enable the keyboard on your iPhone or Android phone.
Add Understand Any Language in Acti. The Act appears in the Act Panel on your keyboard. You can also assign it to a letter key or add it to your Acti Wheel.
Copy the text you want to understand.
Tap Act on your keyboard and choose Understand Any Language. If you assigned it to a key, hold that key to run it. The English translation appears in a preview above the keyboard. Nothing in your text field changes.
What Understand Any Language does
Understand Any Language translates the text you copied into English and shows it in a preview above your keyboard. It reads from your clipboard, so there is nothing to type, and it does not touch the text field you are in.
Why it belongs on the keyboard
You usually need a translation while you are reading or about to reply in another app. Because the result shows above the keyboard, you can read it and keep typing your answer without leaving the conversation.
Where it fits
This Act is for understanding: quick comprehension of messages, comments, and short passages. The output is English. For legal, medical, or other high-stakes text, verify the translation with a professional source.
