Type or paste your text, pick a language, and press Translate. The translation appears and is spoken aloud automatically, so you read it and hear it in the same moment. The audio saves as an MP3.
Nothing listens to you. There is no microphone step, no permission popup, and nothing recorded. You type, it speaks.
The target list on this page only shows languages that have a voice, so anything you pick here can be heard, not just read. Work a paragraph at a time; short passages are easier to judge by ear and easier to reuse.
Reading a translation tells you what to say. Hearing it tells you how, and that second part is the reason this page exists.
Paste a single word and press Translate to settle a pronunciation question in seconds. Paste a full sentence and you get the rhythm: where the voice rises, where it pauses, which syllable carries the weight. For languages you cannot read at all, the audio is the translation for practical purposes; the text on screen is just its receipt.
A few ways people use this:
Every result on this page is read aloud without an extra click. If you want it again, the speaker button under the output box repeats it, and repetition is most of how a phrase becomes yours.
The reading uses the target language’s own voice, not an English voice stumbling through foreign spelling. That difference matters most in languages where the written form gives an English reader no help at all, such as Russian, Chinese, Japanese or Ukrainian: the voice supplies what the letters cannot.
The download button under the output box saves the spoken translation as a file that plays anywhere without conversion. People use it to build a small phrase library before a trip, drop a line into a video, or send a pronunciation to someone instead of describing it in text.
If you are collecting several phrases, translate them one at a time and name each file as you go. Ten short clips are easier to find and reuse than one long recording.
This page does not accept audio uploads, but it still finishes the job for most voice messages. The working method:
For a clip you cannot transcribe at all, most phones will dictate it: play the message on one device, let the phone’s keyboard dictation take it down in the original language, then paste the result here. Two steps, no special software.
For a slow two-way conversation, the page works in turns. Type your sentence, translate it, and let the other person hear it. Then swap the languages with the arrows between the two boxes and hand the keyboard over. It is not simultaneous interpreting, and it does not try to be; for a hotel desk, a taxi or a market stall, turn taking is enough.
The swap arrows keep both directions one tap apart, which is the part that makes the back and forth practical.
The most common directions people ask for by voice are Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, French, German, Italian and Ukrainian, in both directions. All of them have voices here, along with dozens more.
Going into English works the same way: paste the foreign text, set the target to English, and hear the English spoken. If you only need the written translation, the language pair pages such as English to Spanish or English to Ukrainian cover each direction as text; this page is the one that talks.
Each language here speaks with its own voice. If what you want is the same English text read in different accents rather than translated, the accent generators do that: thirteen voices, from German and French to Japanese and Russian. The full list sits in the footer of every page.
It does not take speech as input. If you need to talk into a microphone and see text come out, that is speech recognition, and this tool deliberately leaves it out; typing works in a meeting, on a bus, and in any browser without granting audio permissions.
It does not accept audio file uploads either. The transcribe-then-translate route above covers voice messages; a full recorded meeting needs transcription software first.
And it does not read text without translating it. For that, the text to speech tool speaks your original text as written. If you only need the written translation with no audio, the main translator covers all 190+ languages, including the ones that have no voice yet.
Is the voice translator free?
Yes. No account, no cap on translations or playback.
Do I need a microphone?
No. You type or paste text; the tool speaks the translation. Nothing is recorded.
Can I translate a voice message?
Not by uploading it. Type what you hear, or let your phone’s dictation transcribe it, then translate the text here. The steps above walk through it.
Can I download the spoken translation?
Yes, as an MP3, from the button under the output box.
Can it handle a live conversation?
In turns, yes: translate, play it, swap the languages, hand it over. It is not simultaneous interpreting.
Why does the target list look shorter here than on the main translator?
This page only offers languages that can be spoken aloud. The main translator lists every written language, voiced or not.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in the browser. Playback uses the phone’s own audio and the MP3 download works the same way.
Can I slow the audio down?
Not on the page itself, but the downloaded MP3 plays at any speed in any player, which is the practical route for study.
