Chitchat Alternative for Text-Only Random Chat
A Chitchat alternative for one-on-one random chat that stays in text. No camera mode, no sign-up, no phone number.
Start text chatChitchat and Stranger Talk
Chitchat (chitchat.gg) describes itself as random text and video chat: one-on-one, ad-free and moderated, built as an Omegle alternative. Stranger Talk shares the one-on-one idea but is text only, with no video option at all. If you already like Chitchat's text mode and never use the camera, Stranger Talk keeps everything in text. Stranger Talk is an independent site, not part of Chitchat. Features on other sites change, so check Chitchat's own site for its latest.

Usually for a different crowd or extra features. On Stranger Talk most people are from India, you can match with Hindi speakers or K-pop fans, and Area Chat finds people in your state or city. Need ideas to start? Use our conversation starters.
When Chitchat may suit you better
If you sometimes want video chat, Stranger Talk is not that; a site with both modes may fit you better. If you only ever type, Stranger Talk is built just for that.
