Programs it suits
- 1
ESL and conversation classes
Learners read the teacher’s words in English and in their first language side by side, which helps them check what they heard.
- 2
Story times and author talks
Parents who do not speak the reader’s language can follow the story on their phone while their child listens.
- 3
Community meetings and workshops
Citizenship workshops, job-search sessions and public meetings, with each attendee reading in their own language.
What it costs, and what it is not
Free sessions are time-limited (2 minutes per session on the Web App), so a full lecture, class or event needs a paid plan. Paid plans are a flat fee with unlimited use and no per-minute or per-language metering.
Whisperr is automatic translation, not a certified interpreter, and not a replacement for an interpreter where your library or city has a language-access obligation. Automatic captions make mistakes, so do not rely on it alone for legal, safety or emergency information.
For a resource list: “Whisperr: live speech-to-text translation in a browser. Patrons open a link or QR code with no account; the presenter needs a Whisperr account, and free sessions are time-limited.”
Talk face to face — and hear the translation out loud
Put one phone between you. Whisperr listens for both languages, translates each person, and speaks the translation aloud.
- Two Way Conversation: set the direction to ⇄ and Whisperr listens for both languages on one microphone
- Speech Mode reads each translation aloud, so nobody has to look at the screen
- Nobody has to tap anything between turns

Web app
Save to Cloud
Turn on Save to Cloud and each conversation is stored in your Whisperr account, so you can reopen it from Recent Conversations on any device you sign in on. Turn it off and nothing is kept.
iPhone & Android
Stored on your phone
Transcripts are saved locally on your phone and never uploaded to the cloud. Delete any conversation whenever you want.
Mac & Windows
Stored on your computer
The desktop app keeps your conversation history on your computer, without sending it to the cloud.
Privacy first
Whisperr translates your conversations without keeping them.
Audio is never stored
Your audio is processed in real time to produce the transcript and translation, then discarded.
Nothing saved unless you choose
Transcripts and translations are not stored on our servers unless you turn on Save to Cloud.
Never used to train AI
Your audio, transcripts and translations are never used to train AI models, and our service providers can't use them either.

What users say
Whisperr review
“I love how easy Whisperr is to use and how it accurately understands and translates text and speech across different languages. It's so effective that even in scenarios where other tools might fail, Whisperr performs perfectly. Additionally, the ability to select languages for translation directly on a phone is fantastic. This feature helps us translate church services, ensuring everyone understands without missing anything important. The initial setup was straightforward, making it smooth to start using immediately.”
Fast Translations and a Clear, Easy-to-Read Layout
“It translated really fast, and the way the text appears on the screen—with its clear layout—is very easy to read.”
Whisperr Delivers Lightning-Fast, Highly Accurate Real-Time Translation
“The translation is extremely fast and accurate; after comparing several programs, I consider Whisperr to be the fastest and most accurate real-time translation app.”
Top-Notch Speech Recognition and Flashcard-Style Translations for Fast Study
“Whisperr's speech recognition and translation quality are both top-notch, and better than similar tools I've tried so far. Beyond that, as a Japanese learner, I especially like how Whisperr displays each sentence and its translation almost like flashcards, with a text-to-speech button for each one. That setup makes studying feel fast and efficient, and it's easy to review sentence by sentence.”
Simple Real-Time Translation for Work
“I like best about Whisperr is that it feels simple and straightforward to use.”
Awesome
“This is very useful, extremely user-friendly, easy to use, and the recognition capability is very precise, with very fast speed. It should be the most accurate and fastest translation I've used so far.”
Built for public programs
Every patron, in their own language
A QR code at the door is all patrons need. Nothing to lend out, charge or collect.
Patrons need no account
Patrons open the room in any browser on their own phone. Only the staff member or presenter running the room needs a Whisperr account.
One QR code for every program
The Web App room link never changes, so one printed QR code works on the events board, the program flyer and the meeting-room door.
Up to 6 languages per room
The presenter’s language plus 5 more. Each patron picks for themselves, or reads the original words as captions.
Listen instead of read
Patrons who would rather listen tap Speech mode and hear each line read aloud in their language through their own earphones.
At the reference desk
Two Way Conversation translates both sides of a question at the desk, on screen or spoken aloud, through one device.
60+ languages on the Web App
Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, Vietnamese, Ukrainian, Tagalog and more, in either direction.
