Speakin Pirate app review: avast me mateys! 2021
Introduction
If you’ve ever wondered how everyday words and phrases might sound coming from the mouth of a salty sea dog then you might want to check out Speakin Pirate for iPhone and iPad, a text-based phonetic translator pirate games app.
The best pirate games for iPad
I would like to emphasize before we get into the review that there is no audio content in this iPhone pirate games app; everything is text-based. As much as I would love an audible pirate translator utility, I think we’ll have to wait until someone comes up with one!
For more details about this top pirate games app for iPhone, keep reading our Speakin Pirate app review below.
Share Translations Online
What we have here is a fun and rather novel addition to the Entertainment category of the App Store, providing you with some basic tools to create text-based phonetic translations of your common words and phrases into the silver-tongued slurs of a pirate.
Best iphone and ipad apps
The developer seems to have made this app largely with actors and other performers in mind, but I’ve been having some fun playing around with it. You can also share your translations with your friends and family online via Facebook, email, and text message.
No Audio Content
Speakin Pirate also enables you to copy your text translations directly to your iOS device’s clipboard so that you can paste them into chats on instant messaging apps like Whatsapp, Viber, and the like.
Just to reiterate; this app does not contain any audio content, so if you’re looking for translations that you can hear rather than read then you’ll probably want to look elsewhere.

Final Words
There isn’t much more for me to say about Speakin Pirate other than to reiterate that I think it’s a fun little iPhone and iPad app which should suit all you scurvy-cursed, weevil-ridden sea scoundrels quite nicely!
