Real-time voice translation
Understand live speech as it happens
Translate what is being said in the videos, live streams and online classes playing on your phone, shown as live captions over the app you are using. Or switch to the microphone to translate people speaking around you, for example when you travel.

- Phone audio or microphone
- Live captions over any app
- Free offline recognition

Two ways to listen
- Phone audio: captures the sound of the app you are watching and translates it live (Android 10 or newer)
- Microphone: translates people speaking around you, for travel, classes and meetings
- Caption options: hide the original or show the translation on top
- Offline speech recognition for about 50 languages (one-time model download) is free and unlimited; translation still needs an internet connection

Frequently asked questions
Can it translate a live stream or online class?
Yes. With phone audio it translates the sound of the app you are using on Android 10 and newer; some apps don’t allow their audio to be captured. On older Android versions use the microphone.
Does it read the translation aloud?
No. Real-time voice translation shows live captions only. Read-aloud is available for subtitle translation.
Does it work offline?
Speech recognition can run offline for supported languages. Translation needs an internet connection.
