What is Audio Translation?

Audio translation combines speech recognition, text translation, and text-to-speech to help you understand and communicate across language barriers. This tool transcribes spoken audio to text, allows you to translate it, and converts the translation back to speech.

The tool uses your browser's built-in Web Speech API for both recognition and synthesis, meaning everything happens locally on your device with complete privacy. No audio files are uploaded to any server.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which browsers work best?

Chrome and Edge have the best support for Web Speech API. Firefox and Safari have limited language support. For best results, use Chrome on desktop.

Can this tool automatically translate the text?

This tool transcribes speech to text and speaks translated text, but you need to provide the translation manually. You can use services like Google Translate, DeepL, or other translation tools to translate the transcribed text.

Why is transcription accuracy low?

Transcription accuracy depends on audio quality, speaker accent, background noise, and language support in your browser. For best results, use clear audio, speak clearly, and use Chrome browser which has the most robust language support.

Is my audio data private?

Yes, all processing happens locally using your browser's built-in APIs. Your audio files are never uploaded to our servers or any third-party services. However, note that browser speech recognition may send audio to the browser vendor's servers (Google for Chrome, Microsoft for Edge) for processing.
