Why there is a pause after each phrase

The interpreter waits for the end of your sentence so the translation makes sense.

1. 1

   MyInterpreter translates sentence by sentence, not word by word. Translating half a sentence often gets the meaning wrong.

2. 2

   It knows a sentence has ended when you are silent for about 0.6–0.8 seconds.

3. 3

   Then your phone translates and the other phone speaks it. Expect about 1 to 1.5 seconds after each sentence.

4. 4

   To keep it flowing: speak in short, complete sentences; pause briefly at the end; let the interpreter finish before you answer.

5. 5

   Meanwhile the screen shows who is speaking, so silence does not mean the call dropped.
