What AI Phone Does Better
150+ languages and accents
EzDubs covered 30+ languages. AI Phone covers 150+ languages and accents — a less common language, or a regional accent, is far more likely to be covered.
A summary after each call
When the call ends, AI Phone writes a short summary of what was discussed and agreed. EzDubs left you with the call itself, and nothing to check back on.
Translates incoming calls too
EzDubs only translated calls you made. AI Phone also translates incoming calls — through a number it gives you, or by forwarding your own number to it.
Type instead of speaking
With Type to Speak, you type your side of the call instead of saying it, and AI Phone speaks the translation aloud — for quiet places, or words you can write but not say. EzDubs had nothing like it.

FAQ
Did EzDubs shut down?
Yes. Cisco acquired EzDubs in November 2025, and the consumer apps closed on December 15, 2025. Cisco plans to use the technology in Webex, its business platform.
What is the best EzDubs alternative for phone call translation?
For calls to real phone numbers, AI Phone is the closest match to how EzDubs worked: you dial from the app, the other person answers a normal call, and both sides are translated live. It does not replace EzDubs’ voice cloning, which AI Phone leaves out on purpose, for safety — if that feature mattered most, nothing in this comparison fills that gap.
Does the other person need AI Phone to take my call?
No. For phone calls, they answer a normal call. For video calls, they tap the invite link you send them — no download and no account on their side.
Does AI Phone translate in my own voice, like EzDubs?
No, and that is deliberate. A cloned voice can be misused — collected and played back to impersonate you in a fraud call. So on phone and video calls, AI Phone never makes a copy of your voice. It translates in a clear AI voice and shows bilingual subtitles, so you can follow the call in text as well as sound. Face-to-face translation is different: there, you speak in your own voice.
How much does AI Phone cost?
AI Phone is free to download. Calls run on a subscription — $8.99 a week or $59.99 a year — which includes a set amount of translation time. If you use it up, you can add more time with Credits.
Can AI Phone translate group calls?
No. AI Phone translates one-to-one phone and video calls. EzDubs’ multilingual group chat has no equivalent in AI Phone.
