Online build and offline build
GlobalLink is distributed as two builds. They do not offer the same capabilities.
- Online build — may use remote speech recognition or cloud translation depending on the mode. It needs a network connection.
- Offline build — performs speech recognition and translation on the device for the modes listed on the Features page. It is a separate APK.
An offline build does not make every mode offline:
- CALL uses the online service and cannot run offline.
- Dual-phone LAN intercom still needs a network connection.
There is no automatic fallback between online and offline processing. Choose the build that matches your use. Actual availability also depends on the mode, language pair, and device.
