      The voice translator needs JavaScript.

      This conversation translator is for two people who don't share a language, talking face to face. Set a language on each half of the screen and put the phone on the table between you. When it's your turn, tap the microphone on your side and speak: the translation appears on the other half and can be read aloud. On a phone, Face to face turns the top half around, so the person opposite reads it the right way up.

      Questions

      Is the conversation translator free?

      Yes, with no app and no sign-up. Open the page on the phone you'll put between you and start talking.

      Does it work on my phone?

      Yes, and a phone is the easiest way to use it, lying flat on the table between you. Chrome on Android works best and Safari on iPhone works too; allow the microphone when the browser asks. On a computer, turn the screen so both of you can see it.

      Which languages does it support?

      Any two of these 20: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Mandarin), Hindi, Arabic, Russian, Turkish, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Thai and Ukrainian. If a phone can't read one of them aloud, that side still shows the translation as text.

      Can two people use it?

      Yes, it opens ready for two: one half of the screen each, with its own microphone button and language. Only one microphone listens at a time, so tap yours when it's your turn. If you share a language but one of you has trouble hearing, live captions puts what's said on screen in large text.

      Can I save the conversation?

      Yes, as text. Download .txt keeps both sides of the conversation, each in both languages, and Clear empties the screen when you're done. The audio isn't saved.
