What the Voice Translator Does

- vs Maestra: Maestra clones a speaker’s voice for dubbed playback in the target language, which is useful for video localization. It caps the free trial at 30 minutes. ScreenApp uses generic TTS voices instead of cloning, but free use carries no minute cap and exports SRT/VTT directly.
- vs Sonix: Sonix covers 53 languages and charges $22 per audio hour after the 30-minute trial. ScreenApp covers 99 languages with free translation, though Sonix has stronger speaker-diarisation labels in long meeting recordings.
- vs Notta: Notta gives 120 free minutes a month across 58 languages and exports SRT for video work. ScreenApp accepts more file formats (OGG, FLAC included) and removes the monthly minute cap, while Notta has tighter Zoom and Google Meet bot integration.
- vs Speechmatics: Speechmatics is an API-first transcription engine billed at $0.30 an audio hour with 8 free hours a month. It needs developer integration to translate. ScreenApp works in the browser with no code.
- vs Veed.io: Veed.io adds AI voice cloning and on-screen subtitle styling for video editors, with a 30-minute monthly free tier. ScreenApp focuses on the audio-to-text translation path and skips video editing, but handles longer files (3 hours vs 2 GB) at no cost.
Translation with Voice Output
The voice translator returns text transcripts and spoken audio in the target language. After converting speech to text, it plays natural-sounding audio using text-to-speech.
Voice output features:
- Natural pronunciation across 100+ language voices, including regional accents
- Adjustable speech rate to slow down or speed up the translated audio
- Gender selection for male or female voice options in most languages
- Instant playback during live conversations
- Downloadable audio files of the translated speech
Use voice output for language learning, accessibility, or any setting where reading text is not practical — phone calls, driving, or hands-free meetings. The spoken translation also helps with pronunciation and intonation.
Who the Voice Translator Is For
Localization teams shipping multilingual content push source-language voiceovers, ad spots and product tutorials through the translator to produce SRT files for each launch market. The 100+ language coverage trims the number of vendors needed for a single release.
Journalists covering foreign-language interviews upload field recordings the same day they are captured. The transcript and translation come back with timestamps, so a reporter can cite a quote at 00:14:32 without paying for a separate fixer.
Language teachers prepping bilingual materials drop a podcast or news clip into the tool and pull both the source transcript and the English translation. Students compare the two side by side, and the SRT export plugs into classroom video players.
Support teams handling non-English audio tickets translate voicemails and Zoom recordings from customers who do not speak the team’s language. The agent reads the translated transcript in their helpdesk and replies in writing without routing the ticket to a bilingual queue.
