A simple three-step flow
This live Swahili–English page starts with Swahili (Kenya) and English (United States) for a short meeting-place exchange. Swahili (Tanzania) is a separate catalog entry, so this default is not a Tanzania selection. Speakers take turns with the columns fixed. The example avoids Swahili clock phrases, because those hours are easy to misread if you assume English clock time.
The page opens on Swahili (Kenya), sw-KE. Swahili (Tanzania), sw-TZ, was a different label in the 8 October 2026 catalog. Select it before Start only if that is the entry you want.
Press Start translating and allow the microphone. Wait for Listening. Say the gate or landmark, then pause. A page visit does not open the microphone.
If someone gives a time with saa, ask them to repeat the time in a way you can both point to, or compare the captions carefully before you leave. This page does not convert Swahili clock time for you.
Words on screen
Read Swahili (Kenya) 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.
Swahili (Kenya)
Tukutane kwenye lango la Kenyatta.
English (United States)
Let’s meet at the Kenyatta gate.
Language selections
This page starts with Swahili (Kenya) 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 Swahili (Kenya). |
| 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 Swahili (Kenya), sw-KE. Swahili (Tanzania), sw-TZ, is a separate catalog option from the 8 October 2026 list. The page does not switch between them. Swahili timekeeping does not always match an English reading of the same hour word; this page does not promise to convert it. Confirm places, names, and any numbers in the original caption.
Short, practical exchanges
Say the gate or landmark. The edited example uses a place and leaves the clock out so the caption is not doing silent time arithmetic.
Say the person’s name in its own turn and read both captions before you rely on the spelling.
Keep the next landmark separate. The other speaker can answer in English without reversing the columns.
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.
