Translate Spoken Urdu to English
This tool converts spoken Urdu into English text, then plays the translation back as audio if you want to hear it rather than read 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 Urdu audio, the cleaner the English translation. Urdu is one of 99 supported languages; see how we measure accuracy for the per-language breakdown.
What you get:
- A transcript of the Urdu-to-English translation, with timestamps
- 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 Urdu Speech to English
- Choose live or upload: Click the microphone and speak Urdu, or upload a recording. MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG and FLAC audio and MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, MKV, WMV, and FLV video all work.
- Set English as the target: The tool detects spoken Urdu automatically 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 a fixed TTS voice 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, including Urdu, 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 from Urdu among 99 languages online.
Who Uses the Urdu Voice Translator
Business teams with Urdu-speaking customers or staff translate client calls, support recordings, and meeting audio into English text so the rest of the team can read what was said.
Content creators and podcasters translate Urdu voice recordings into English transcripts to reach a wider audience, then edit the transcript into subtitles for video.
Students and researchers translate Urdu lectures, interviews, and field recordings into English for study or citation, then search the transcript for a term instead of re-listening to the whole recording.
Healthcare and legal staff translate Urdu consultations, depositions, or witness statements into an English transcript for documentation, then read it back alongside the original audio.
Families and travellers translate everyday Urdu conversations into English live, using the microphone, for navigation, shopping, or talking with relatives who do not share a language.
FAQ
What is an Urdu voice translator?
It is a tool that converts spoken Urdu into English text using AI speech recognition, then can read the translation back as audio. It works from a live microphone or an uploaded recording, so no manual typing or transcription is needed first.
How accurate is Urdu voice translation?
Transcription accuracy is 99% on clear audio, and translation quality tracks how clean that transcript is. A quiet room and a single speaker translate more reliably than a noisy recording with cross-talk. See the accuracy page for the method.
Can I translate Urdu voice to English 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.
Does the Urdu voice translator work offline?
No. It needs an internet connection for the AI speech recognition and translation. Audio uploads to secure cloud servers for processing, and results come back to your device once translation finishes.
What audio and video formats can I upload?
MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG and FLAC audio, and MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, MKV, WMV, and FLV video. Video files have their audio extracted automatically before translation.
Can I translate English speech into Urdu as well?
Yes. The tool detects the source language automatically from 99 supported languages, so you can set English as the source and Urdu as the target to translate the other way.
Will the translated transcript keep speaker labels?
The transcript marks speaker turns when voices are clearly separated, using speaker identification, and carries those labels into the English translation. Spot-check around any overlapping speech.
Is Urdu voice translation private?
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.
What if I need to translate a different language, not Urdu?
The voice translator page covers translating between any of the 99 supported languages, and the video translator page covers translating the speech in a video file.
