How to translate speech and audio files on Android

Typing is fine for a sentence. For a voice note, a phone call you recorded or a long message, start from the audio instead.

Get a clean result

Translation is only as good as the words it starts from.

  • Record in a quiet place, one speaker at a time
  • Keep sentences short and plain
  • Check names, numbers, dates and amounts in the result
  • For legal, medical or official documents, use a professional translator
