Live Voice Translator

Speak, call, meet, watch or listen in another language, and understand each other as it happens. lingua.direct translates speech live in more than 300 languages, with the same engine as lingua.direct on the web and one account for both.

TALK FACE TO FACE

• One-way interpreter: speak, and your words are translated and spoken aloud in the other language. For a talk, a tour, a doctor's visit or a counter.

• Two-way conversation: two people, two languages, one phone on the table. Each side hears the other in their own language.

CALL IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE

• Conversation call: send a link, the other person joins from their browser or this app, and each of you hears and reads the other in your own language.

• Phone call: call a phone number from the app; you speak your language, they hear theirs, and the other way round.

• WhatsApp call: invite someone by their number and talk over WhatsApp with live translation in between.

• Meeting interpreter: paste a Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, Webex or GoTo Meeting link and a spoken interpreter joins the meeting: it says every sentence aloud in the other language, you read along on your phone and can share a live view with others.

WATCH AND LISTEN

• Live captions: translated captions float on top of any app that plays audio, such as video, podcasts or livestreams. Only the sound is used; nothing on your screen is recorded.

• Live broadcasts: listen to a church service, lecture or event in your own language, with a code, a link or the host's channel name.

• Broadcast host: speak once and let listeners follow in their own language as text and spoken audio, with subtitles and dubbed audio to download afterwards.

TEXT, PHOTOS AND FILES

• Text and documents: type, paste or open a text file and get the translation.
