A simple three-step flow
This live French–English page starts with French (France) and English (United States) for a reception or travel exchange where a name has to be read back. Speakers take turns in one session, and the columns stay put, so you can compare the French wording with the English caption before you confirm a booking. It listens through the microphone after Start; it is not a file upload.
The starting pair is French (France) and English (United States). Spoken French often links words, while the caption has to show separate written words. Check the selected labels, then speak one sentence at a time.
Press Start translating and allow microphone access. Wait for Listening. Say the reservation name once, then pause. Loading the page does not request the microphone.
Read the French caption before you accept the English spelling of a surname or street. If a letter is unclear, ask for that name again on its own.
Words on screen
Read French (France) speech beside its translation, then let the other speaker answer in English (United States) if they prefer. The text stays grouped by the two selected languages, so check the original wording when a place, name, or number matters.
Captions are text only, and either selected language can be spoken in the same session. The examples on this page are written to illustrate the languages; they are not captions captured from a live session.
With live captions, both people can follow each turn and respond while the conversation is underway. Use the two language columns to check names, numbers, and places together.
French (France)
La réservation est au nom de Camille Laurent.
English (United States)
The reservation is under the name Camille Laurent.
Language selections
This page starts with French (France) and English (United States). Speakers can take turns in either selected language during one session. The language columns stay fixed, and the Web trial is up to one cumulative minute per visitor.
| Setting | How it works |
|---|---|
| First language | Start with French (France). |
| Second language | Use English (United States) as the second language; both remain visible in separate caption columns. |
| Conversation direction | Either selected language can be spoken in the same session; its translation appears in the other language’s column. |
The default label is French (France), fr-FR, from the catalog collected on 8 October 2026. Vocabulary and address forms differ by region; this page does not detect a regional variety or promise every French-speaking region. Spoken liaison is not a separate caption mode. Check names, dates, and numbers in the original French caption.
Short, practical exchanges
Give the name in one turn and the date in another. Read the French line before the desk copies it. A linked spoken phrase can still need a written check.
Ask for one place. Compare any number in both captions, then repeat the number if the columns disagree.
Let the other person answer in English or French without reversing the controls. If the reply is longer than you can check, ask for the next step only.
Practical tips
Check this site’s microphone permission and your system input device, then return to the tool and start again. If another application is using the microphone, close that recording session first.
No. The browser voice translator shows recognized speech and translations as text captions only; it does not play translated speech.
Wait for the status to recover before speaking. If the session ends, check your connection and press Start again. A reconnect does not guarantee that speech from the interruption can be recovered.
