ChatHub Alternative: Random Text Chat
A ChatHub alternative for people who want random chat without a webcam: one stranger at a time, by text.
Start random chatChatHub and Stranger Talk: how they differ
ChatHub presents itself as a free random video chat site that connects you with strangers by camera, with options such as language and gender filters. Stranger Talk is the text version of that idea. You are matched with one stranger, you type, and you can tap Next at any time. There is no camera, so there is nothing to show. Stranger Talk is an independent site, not part of ChatHub. Features on other sites change, so check ChatHub's own site for its latest.
Text only, no camera
Nobody sees your face or hears your voice. You only share what you type.

Why people try a ChatHub alternative
Most people try a ChatHub alternative because they prefer typing to being on camera, or they want a crowd that is mostly from India with Hindi chat and city rooms.
What to try first if you are coming from ChatHub
If you are used to video chat, the biggest change is that nobody sees you. Start with random chat and treat the first message like a first look: a friendly question works better than "hi". Many people find they talk longer by text because there is no camera pressure.
- Open Stranger Talk in your browser and confirm you are 18+. No app, no sign-up.
- Pick who to meet: anyone, Hindi speakers or K-pop fans, or open a room.
- Say hi with a real question. Stuck? Start a game from the chat menu.
When ChatHub may suit you better
If you specifically want face-to-face video chat, ChatHub or another video site is the better fit.
