A simple three-step flow
Use this live Somali–English page for a short face-to-face exchange about a name or a meeting place. It starts with Somali (Somalia) and English (United States). This catalog selection uses Latin-script Somali in the example, not Arabic-script Somali. Speakers take turns, and the columns stay fixed.
Check Somali (Somalia), so-SO, and English (United States) before Start. The page does not switch scripts because of nearby speech.
Press Start translating and allow the microphone. Wait for Listening. Say the name or place, then pause. Page load does not open the microphone.
Compare it with the English line. This page does not promise an Arabic-script Somali caption.
Words on screen
Read Somali (Somalia) 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.
Somali (Somalia)
Magacaygu waa Amina Hassan.
English (United States)
My name is Amina Hassan.
Language selections
This page starts with Somali (Somalia) 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 Somali (Somalia). |
| 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 is Somali (Somalia), so-SO, from the catalog collected on 8 October 2026. The edited example uses the Latin Somali orthography. This page does not promise Arabic-script Somali or every regional variety. Confirm names, places, and numbers in the original caption.
Short, practical exchanges
Say the name once. Read the Somali caption before you write it down.
Keep the place separate from the name. Check both columns before you leave.
Repeat a phone number or quantity alone if it arrived inside a longer sentence. The other person can answer in English.
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.
