We’re checking the language list and your available Web time. This can take a moment.
A simple three-step flow
Choose two languages, then take turns speaking either one in the same conversation. Read each recognized utterance and its translation in the language columns. The Web trial lasts up to one cumulative minute.
Choose two languages from the current catalog with the language buttons. English (US) and Simplified Chinese are selected when both are available. The browser translator displays recognized speech and translations as text captions only.
Press Start and approve your browser’s microphone request. Once the status says Listening, take turns speaking short, complete thoughts in either selected language. Give each translation a moment to appear before moving to the next sentence.
The two caption windows stay in the order of your selected languages. When someone speaks in the second language, those recognized words appear in its window and the translation appears in the first language’s window. Both are shown as text only.
Words on screen
Live voice translation combines speech recognition and text translation. Seeing both sides helps you notice when a name, number, or phrase was heard differently from what you intended. Wait for a sentence to settle before relying on its wording: live captions can change while you are still speaking.
The browser tool keeps each utterance and its translation together in two compact caption windows tied to the selected languages, even when the next person replies in the other language. Each window follows new captions while you are at the bottom; scroll up to read earlier turns, then choose Back to latest when you are ready. The Web trial offers up to one cumulative minute across Start and Stop or a page refresh. When you stop, the text already on this page remains visible so you can check the exchange before leaving.
English (US)
“Could you tell me where the train station is?”
Simplified Chinese
“你能告诉我火车站在哪里吗？”
Current language catalog
Choose two languages from the voice-service catalog. A conversation can move in either direction within one session; the captions keep each language in its own fixed window. The Web trial offers up to one cumulative minute per visitor, including time used before a refresh or after you stop.
| Setting | How it works |
|---|---|
| First language | Choose one of the two conversation languages from the catalog. |
| Second language | Choose the other conversation language. Each appears in its own transcript column. |
| Conversation direction | Either selected language can be spoken in the same session; its translation appears in the other language’s column. |
The English (US) and Simplified Chinese exchange above is one illustrative pair, not the full catalog. This browser’s catalog and pair availability may differ from the Owll Translator app.
Short, practical exchanges
Try a short exchange about directions, opening times, or where to find something. Show the translated caption to the other person, and confirm important details such as a platform number or meeting time.
Say a sentence you already know, compare the recognized words with what you intended, and read the translation. Try rephrasing the same idea. This is a way to explore wording, not a pronunciation score or a proficiency assessment.
Introduce yourself, ask a simple follow-up question, or clarify a phrase when people using the two selected languages meet. Take turns speaking in either language; its fixed column shows the words and the other column shows the translation.
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.
