Live Translation for Lectures and Campus Events

The lecturer runs one Whisperr room; students open the link or QR code on their own phone with no app or account and read along in their language. Try it on this page now, no sign-up.

  1. 1

    Pick two languages

    The language being spoken and the one you want to read. Nothing to install and no sign-up for this demo.

  2. 2

    Press Record and talk

    Speak, or play a short clip near your microphone. The demo runs for one minute at a time.

  3. 3

    Read the translation

    Each line appears translated as it is spoken. In a real session, Broadcast Mode sends the same text to everyone’s phone.

The lecturer shares a QR code, students follow on their phones

The lecturer or a teaching assistant does this once; students only scan.

  1. 1

    Open the Whisperr Web App

    On a laptop or the lectern PC near the speaker (or fed from the room’s audio system), go to whisperr.co/app, pick the language being spoken and a default language for viewers, and turn on Share Link.

  2. 2

    Show the QR code

    Press Record and click the QR code button. Put it on screen, or download the PNG for your slides and course page. On the Web App the link and QR code stay the same every time, so you can print them once.

  3. 3

    Everyone follows on their own phone

    People open the link in any browser with no app or account, pick their language (up to 6 per room), and read along or tap Speech mode to listen with their own earphones.

Or each student runs Whisperr on their own laptop

No room link needed: a student who wants live translation can start it at their own seat.

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.

If most of the room wants the translation, one shared room link is simpler than every student recording on their own laptop.

  1. 1

    Open the Whisperr Web App

    On a laptop, go to whisperr.co/app in your browser and sign in with your own Whisperr account.

  2. 2

    Pick the two languages

    Choose the language the lecturer speaks and the language you want to read. The Web App covers 60+ languages.

  3. 3

    Press Record and read along

    Place the laptop where its microphone can hear the lecturer and press Record. The translation appears as the lecturer speaks; a seat nearer the front helps the microphone pick up the voice.

Share the translation with everyone in the room

The speaker opens Whisperr and turns on Broadcast Mode, then shares the QR code or link. Viewers open it in any browser without an account, and follow along in their own language — reading, or listening with Speech mode.

  • Only the speaker needs a Whisperr account — viewers just open the link
  • Make the QR code and link stable on the web app, so you can put them on your website or a printed pamphlet
  • Speech mode reads each line aloud, with the voice and speed each viewer prefers

Simple to start

All you need is a phone or a computer.

  1. 1

    Open Whisperr

    Use the web app in your browser, or the iPhone, Android, Mac or Windows app.

  2. 2

    Pick your languages and audio

    Choose the language being spoken and the one to translate into, then use your microphone — or the audio playing on your computer.

  3. 3

    Just listen, or just speak

    Translations appear as people talk. To share them, send the room link or show the QR code.

Whisperr is available everywhere

Use it in your browser, or download the app for your phone or computer.

Keep your transcripts — where you want them

Save transcriptions and translations to come back to later, either in your Whisperr account or only on your own device.

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.

Encrypted in transit

Everything between your device and Whisperr is encrypted with TLS 1.2 or higher.

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.”

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.”

Built for campus

One lecture, every student’s language

For international students, visiting speakers, orientation and open days: a link on the slide is all students need.

Students need no account

Students open the room in any browser. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for. Only the person running the room needs a Whisperr account.

QR code on the title slide

The Web App gives you one stable room link and a print-resolution QR code. Put it on the first slide, the course page or a poster by the door.

Each student picks a language

A room carries the lecturer’s language plus up to 5 more. Students switch for themselves, or choose Transcription to read the lecturer’s own words as captions.

60+ languages on the Web App

Lecture in English for students who read Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, Korean or Spanish, or lecture in any of them for English readers.

Teach it your course vocabulary

The Web App Dictionary takes a context line, names and technical terms, which helps names and jargon come through spelled correctly.

Office hours, face to face

Two Way Conversation listens for both languages on one microphone, so a tutor and a student can talk without tapping anything between turns.

Put the room link on your next lecture slide

Students follow in their own language on their own phone. Try it free.

Whisperr for universities FAQ

Do students need to install an app or create an account?+
No. Students open the room link or scan the QR code in any browser and pick their language. Only the person running the room needs a Whisperr account.
Is it free for a whole lecture?+
No. The demo on this page is free with no sign-up for a minute at a time, and free sessions in the app are limited to 2 minutes on the Web App. A full lecture needs a paid plan, which is a flat fee with unlimited use.
Is Whisperr CART or an ADA accommodation?+
No. It is automatic captioning and translation, not CART, not a sign language interpreter and not a formal accommodation. Students who are Deaf and hard of hearing, or who have another accommodation, should keep getting it through disability services.
How many languages can one lecture be translated into?+
A room carries the lecturer’s language plus up to 5 more, so 6 at once. Each student picks from those for themselves. Open a second room if you need more.
Can students read captions in the lecturer’s own language?+
Yes. In the room, students can show the transcription, the translation or both, so the same link works as live captions in the spoken language.
Where does the audio go?+
Audio is processed in real time and then discarded; it is never stored. Transcripts are only saved to an account if the person running the room turns on Save to Cloud. See the security page for the details.
