A simple three-step flow
This live Spanish–English translator starts with Spanish (Spain) and English (US), then keeps both language columns fixed while speakers take turns. It suits a brief face-to-face exchange: asking which platform to use, checking in at a hotel, or agreeing where to meet. Choose the pair before pressing Start; the browser requests microphone access at that point. Captions show recognized words and their translation as text, with up to one cumulative minute on the Web.
The starting selection is Spanish (Spain) with English (US). If the person speaking uses another regional variety and the language picker offers a closer option, select it before starting. The page uses the pair you choose; it does not identify a regional variety from nearby speech.
Press Start translating and allow microphone access in the browser. Wait for the Listening status, then take turns with one short question or answer at a time. A page visit alone does not open the microphone, so you can check the selections first.
The Spanish and English caption columns stay in their selected positions while either person speaks. Read the original words beside the translation, let the sentence settle, and repeat a street name, platform, time, or price if it looks uncertain.
Words on screen
Read Spanish (Spain) speech beside its translation, then let the other speaker answer in English (US) 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.
Spanish (Spain)
¿Dónde está la estación de tren?
English (US)
Where is the train station?
Language selections
This page starts with Spanish (Spain) and English (US). 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 Spanish (Spain). |
| Second language | Use English (US) 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 Spanish (Spain) and English (US). Spanish vocabulary and address forms vary by region; a local word for a transit service, shop, or everyday item may not match the term you expect. Check the picker before starting if another regional choice is available. The page does not switch varieties automatically, and important names, addresses, amounts, and directions should be confirmed with the speaker.
Short, practical exchanges
Ask for a station, platform, stop, or building entrance in one sentence. Before walking away, compare the place name and any number in the Spanish caption with the English text. If a street or station name is unfamiliar, ask the other speaker to repeat it slowly rather than relying on the translation alone.
Use a short turn to ask where to check in, whether a room or table is ready, or what to do next. Keep a reservation name, date, or price separate from the rest of the request; both speakers can read the recognized wording before acting on it.
Say one location and one time, then let the reply come in English or Spanish without changing the selected pair. Read the details back to each other. A concise exchange is easier to check than several directions or changes bundled into one turn.
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.
