Using Translate With Voice.

Choose the language you are translating from and the language you want, type or paste your message into the text box, then tap Translate.

Tap the microphone, allow microphone access if your browser asks, speak clearly, then tap again to stop. Your speech is turned into text and then translated.

Use the language selectors at the top of the translator to set the from and to languages. Check both are correct if a result looks unexpected.

Allow microphone permission when prompted, then check the microphone permission for this site in your browser settings. Make sure no other app or tab is using the microphone, close anything that might be holding it, reload the page and try again. Voice input needs a modern browser with microphone support, and it may not work on every device or browser.

Check your internet connection, confirm the from and to languages, and try again. Shortening or rephrasing unclear input often helps. Translations are AI-generated and are not guaranteed to be accurate, so please check anything important independently.

Tap Listen on the translation where playback is available. The spoken version is AI-generated, needs audio support in your browser or device, may take a moment to prepare, and can occasionally fail. If it does, try again.

Conversation Mode lets two people take turns speaking, each in their own selected language. Microphone access is required. Each turn is transcribed and translated during the session, and can be read aloud for the other person. It is turn-based rather than simultaneous interpreting.

No. Conversation Mode is session-based. Starting a new conversation, resetting or leaving the page clears the current conversation.

Saved translations and the Learn content built from them are stored in your own browser on the device you are using. There are no user accounts, no cloud history, and nothing syncs between devices or browsers.

Saved items can be lost if you clear your browser or site data, switch browser or device, use private or incognito browsing, or your browser removes local storage. Please do not treat saved items as a permanent or backed-up record.

Temporary usage limits may apply to keep the service available and protect it from misuse. If you see a message asking you to wait, try again a little later.

Yes. AI-assisted translation, transcription and generated speech can make mistakes. Important translations should be independently verified before you rely on them.

Please do not rely on Translate With Voice as your only means of communication in an emergency or other high-stakes situation, such as medical, legal or safety-critical matters. Use a qualified interpreter or the appropriate professional service instead.

Personalised lessons, Practice features and some settings functionality are still being developed and are not available yet.
