Translate Speech and Audio to Any Language
This tool converts speech into text in another language, then plays the result back as audio if you want to hear it. Speak into your microphone for a live conversation, or upload a recording and get the translation back as a transcript.
Translation quality follows transcription quality: the cleaner the source-language transcript, the cleaner the translation. See how we measure accuracy for the per-language breakdown.
What you get:
- A transcript of the translation, with timestamps, in 99 languages
- Live translation while you speak, using your browser microphone
- Upload MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG and FLAC audio, or MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, MKV, WMV, and FLV video
- Export as PDF, DOCX, TXT, SRT and VTT
- Spoken playback of the translation: one fixed AI voice, no speed, pitch or volume controls
- Free plan: one recording of up to 45 minutes, with AI chat on it
Recordings and uploads up to 3 hours work in a single pass on the Max plan.
How to Translate Speech and Audio
- Choose live or upload: Click the microphone to speak, or upload a recording. MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG and FLAC audio and MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, MKV, WMV, and FLV video all work.
- Pick the target language: The tool detects the source language automatically from 99 options and translates into the language you choose.
- Read or listen to the result: Live translation appears as you speak. Uploaded files return a transcript a few minutes after processing, with an optional spoken version.
Accuracy depends on the audio: a clear microphone signal or a quiet room translates better than a noisy call with cross-talk and overlapping speakers. See how we measure accuracy.

- vs Maestra: Maestra covers 125+ languages and clones a speaker’s voice for dubbed playback on Business plan or higher, but its free mode only generates captions, not translation. Live translation starts at $49 a month for 72 minutes. ScreenApp uses generic TTS voices instead of cloning, and its free plan includes translation on one recording.
- vs DeepL Voice: DeepL Voice covers 40+ languages and is built for meeting and conversation translation with on-device processing, but its site does not state a price or a free tier for voice translation. ScreenApp covers more languages and publishes its free plan and price on the pricing page.
- vs iTranslate: iTranslate lists 100+ languages across its apps, but offline voice translation works in only 4 languages. ScreenApp runs in the browser, so it also expects a connection, and translates across 99 languages online.
Who Uses the Voice Translator
Localization teams shipping multilingual content push source-language voiceovers, ad spots, and product tutorials through the translator to produce subtitle files for each launch market.
Journalists covering foreign-language interviews upload field recordings the same day they are captured. The translated transcript comes back with timestamps, so a reporter can cite a quote at a specific point in the recording without paying for a separate fixer.
Language teachers prepping bilingual materials drop a podcast or news clip into the tool and pull the source transcript and the translation side by side. Students compare the two, and the export plugs into classroom video players.
Support teams handling non-English audio tickets translate voicemails and call recordings from customers who do not speak the team’s language, then reply in writing without routing the ticket to a bilingual queue.
FAQ
How do I translate live speech to another language?
Click the microphone and speak. The tool detects the source language automatically from 99 options and returns the translation as text, with optional spoken playback. No install needed.
How do I translate audio files to another language?
Upload MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG and FLAC audio. The tool detects the source language, translates the speech into the language you choose, and returns a downloadable transcript with timestamps.
What is the best voice translator online?
It depends on the job. Maestra clones a speaker’s voice for dubbed video output. DeepL Voice is built for meeting and conversation translation on desktop. ScreenApp translates across 99 languages with a free plan that includes one recording, which makes it a reasonable default for one-off translation work.
Can I use the voice translator for free?
Yes. The free plan includes one recording of up to 45 minutes, with translation and AI chat on it. Paid plans start at $19 a month billed annually and remove the per-recording limit.
How accurate is voice translation?
Accuracy depends on the audio and the language pair. Transcription accuracy is 99% on clear audio, and translation quality tracks how clean that transcript is. See the accuracy page for the per-language breakdown.
Can I export translated subtitles for video work?
Yes. Export options include PDF, DOCX, TXT, SRT and VTT. SRT and VTT files carry the source timestamps, so captions line up in standard video editors.
Will the tool keep speaker labels in a multi-person recording?
The transcript marks speaker turns when voices are clearly separated, using speaker identification, and carries those labels into the translated output. For overlapping speech in a packed recording, spot-check around the overlaps.
Can I translate speech from video files?
Yes. Upload MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, MKV, WMV, and FLV files. The tool extracts the audio, translates the speech, and returns a transcript with timestamps. For dedicated subtitle and dubbing work, see the video translator.
Is the voice translator safe to use?
Yes. Recordings are encrypted in transit and at rest with AES-256, are not used to train AI models, and are only shared if you create a share link. ScreenApp’s security controls are published on its trust center.
