A simple three-step flow
Use this live Vietnamese–English page for a short market or street exchange, starting with Vietnamese (Vietnam) and English (United States). The columns stay fixed while the two speakers take turns, so a price, street, or name can be checked in the original caption before anyone acts on it. Vietnamese examples on this page keep tone marks; the tool shows text only after you press Start.
The starting selection is Vietnamese (Vietnam) with English (United States). Check both labels before you begin. Opening the page does not turn the microphone on, and the page does not guess a different language from nearby speech.
Press Start translating, allow microphone access, and wait for Listening. Ask about one item, fare, or street, then pause so both columns can settle. The other person can answer in English without reversing the pair.
Compare the Vietnamese caption with the English one. A missing or different tone mark can change a name or a word. If a price or street looks uncertain, repeat that detail on its own.
Words on screen
Read Vietnamese (Vietnam) 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.
Vietnamese (Vietnam)
Chợ Bến Thành ở đường Lê Lợi.
English (United States)
Ben Thanh Market is on Le Loi Street.
Language selections
This page starts with Vietnamese (Vietnam) 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 Vietnamese (Vietnam). |
| 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 catalog label is Vietnamese (Vietnam), vi-VN, from the language list collected on 8 October 2026. Captions are expected in Vietnamese with tone marks, not a tone-free pronunciation guide. This page does not identify a regional accent or switch languages on its own. Check prices, street names, and personal names in the original caption.
Short, practical exchanges
Point to one item and ask the price in a short turn. Read the amount in the original caption before you hand over money. A second item should be a new turn, not an addition to the first sentence.
Use a landmark you can both see, then compare the street name in Vietnamese with the English caption. If the spelling is unfamiliar, ask the speaker to repeat it slowly.
Say the name once, pause, and read both columns. Vietnamese personal names often keep tone marks that a rough English spelling drops. Use the Vietnamese caption when you write the name down.
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.
