Talk to a real person right now

Pick a room and tap ‘Start talking’. While a partner is being found, you're in the lobby — with others who are waiting too.

Room

Talk — just a conversation. Flirt — adult topics, 18+.

 

Lobby

A shared chat where everyone is waiting for someone to talk to. Write to everyone or invite someone to talk one on one.

Translation

Write in your language, the other person reads it in theirs. 15 languages.

People only

No bots. If someone writes to you, it's a real person.

Private

Nobody sees a one-on-one chat. It's deleted after 24 hours.

How it works

  1. Press the button

    That's all. No name, no email.

  2. Wait with the others

    While we find you someone, you can see everyone else who's waiting. Write to all of them, or invite one to talk on your own.

  3. Talk

    One-on-one, about whatever you like. Another language translates itself. Had enough? Press Next and you're with someone new.

What's here

Real people only

No bots, no programs pretending to chat. If nobody's here, the site says so.

Nothing to enter

No phone, no email, no name. A guest gets 5 conversations a day; an account removes the limit.

Lobby

That's where people wait. You're in it under a name like “Guest 2847”: you see who else is here, write to everyone — or invite one person to talk on your own.

Any language

Fifteen languages. A conversation across two languages translates itself, with the original kept underneath. In the lobby, it's one tap.

Flirt, said plainly

A separate room for grown-up talk: everyone in it is 18 or over. It's a text chat, not a way to meet up.

Just the two of you

Nobody else sees a one-on-one conversation. It's erased after 24 hours.

Why people come here

  1. Practise a language

    Fifteen languages on the site. Talk to someone who actually speaks yours.

  2. Meet someone new

    Someone you'd never run into otherwise, from wherever they happen to be.

  3. Be yourself

    Nobody here knows you. No history, no reputation to protect.

  4. Say it out loud

    Sometimes you need to tell someone. A stranger listens differently.

What happens to your data

Almost no data

No phone, no email, no name. Gender and age are optional. Your partner will see them.

Chats are deleted automatically

Chats are never published or sold. A chat is erased within 24 hours of ending; if somebody reported it, it waits until the report is dealt with — never longer than 30 days. Lobby messages last 24 hours. The other person's text goes to a translator while your translation is on; you can turn it off in any conversation.

Leave whenever

One tap on Next and you're with someone else. No explaining.

Being straight with you

  1. There are no bots

    Nobody here is a program. Quiet means quiet.

  2. The numbers are live

    They show who's here right now. No people, no numbers.

  3. No “someone is waiting for you”

    If someone invites you, a real person pressed the button.

  4. There are no reviews

    Nobody made any up.

SayHello — anonymous chat with real people, no sign-up

SayHello is an anonymous chat where you talk one-on-one with a real person. It's a text chat with strangers with no sign-up and no bots: no account, nothing to install, no phone number. Open the site, press Start talking, and you're in the lobby. The lobby is where people wait: you show up under a name like “Guest 2847”, see who else is looking for someone to talk to, and can write to everyone or invite one person to talk on your own. The search keeps running meanwhile. Once someone is found, a one-on-one conversation opens, and it's just the two of you in it. You write in English and they write in Spanish? Messages translate themselves, the original stays under the translation, and you can switch translation off in any conversation. In the lobby, translation is one tap. There are 15 languages, and the search starts with yours. There are two rooms: Talk, for whatever you feel like, and Flirt, for grown-up subjects — everyone there is 18 or over. Press Next to talk to someone else. A guest gets 5 conversations a day; a free account removes the limit. Chats are erased 24 hours after they end.

Why SayHello

Omegle is gone, and most of what replaced it is video, adverts and bots. Here it is text, one-on-one, and the person on the other end is a person.

  • No registration — a guest gets 5 conversations a day, and an account is free if you want more
  • One-on-one — just the two of you in a conversation, no audience; the shared lobby is only for waiting
  • No bots — real people only
  • Any language — the search starts with yours, and a conversation across two languages translates itself
  • Honest numbers — the board shows who's here right now; no people, no numbers

How SayHello works

Press Start talking and you're in the lobby, where you can see everyone else who's waiting. Once someone is found, a one-on-one conversation opens. Don't want to carry on? Press Next. The chat gives you:

  • Text messages in real time
  • Translation — another language translates itself, with the original kept underneath
  • Photos — anyone can send one, opening a received photo needs an account
  • A typing indicator, so you can see the other person writing
  • Your own gender and age, your language and, in a free account, who you're looking for
  • Any device: phone, tablet, laptop

Safety and anonymity

Anonymous doesn't mean lawless. What actually happens:

  • No account needed — you can talk as a guest
  • Your IP address and your location are never shown to the person you're talking to
  • Photos arrive blurred, and the person decides whether to open them
  • One tap on Next ends a conversation you don't want
  • Reports are read by a person, and repeated reports close search for a while
  • Conversations are erased within 24 hours of the chat ending

SayHello after Omegle

If you've been looking for somewhere to talk since Omegle closed, this is text-first and deliberately plain. How it differs from Chatrandom, Emerald Chat, Shagle or Camsurf:

  • Text only — no camera, nothing to show
  • One-on-one, not a roulette of rooms
  • No karma, no levels, nothing to farm
  • Real people, with no bots filling the gaps
  • Free to use, with no paid features

Who comes here

SayHello suits you if you want to:

  • Meet someone from a country you'll never visit
  • Practise a language with someone who actually speaks it
  • Say something out loud to a person who doesn't know you
  • Flirt and talk about grown-up things with another adult
  • Spend a dull evening on a conversation instead of a feed

Start now

Nothing to install. SayHello runs in your browser, on a phone just as well as on a laptop.

Press Start talking and you're in a conversation. That's the whole thing.

Questions people ask

What is SayHello?

A text chat where you talk one-on-one with a real person. No account, nothing to download — it runs in your browser. Press Start talking and the search begins.

Are there bots here?

No. Real people only.

Do I need an account?

No. As a guest you get 5 conversations a day and they come back the next day. An account is free: it removes the limit, lets you open photos you're sent, and lets you set who you're looking for.

Can I choose who I talk to?

Your own gender and age go in search settings. Who you're looking for is set in an account, and an account is free. For the first 10 seconds of a search that counts as a requirement; after that it becomes a preference, so you don't wait all evening: a priority, not a guarantee. Language works the same way — yours first, any language if you allow it.

How do I move on to someone else?

Press Next. The conversation ends and the search starts again. There's no limit on how often.

Can I send photos?

Anyone can send one. Opening a photo you receive needs an account — it makes it harder to push something at someone who didn't ask for it. Photos arrive blurred, and the person decides whether to open them.

What does it cost?

Nothing. There are no paid features.

What if nobody is there?

It happens, especially at night and in less common languages. The search doesn't switch off, and while you wait you're in the lobby with everyone else who's waiting: write to all of them or invite one. An invented partner will never appear instead of a person.

How long do you keep my messages?

A chat is erased within 24 hours of it ending. The one exception is a chat somebody reported: that one is read, and it is kept until the report is dealt with — never longer than 30 days.
