Speech Mode

Speech Mode adds a spoken-audio layer on top of Whisperr's live transcription and translation. You see the translated text on screen and you can choose to hear it read aloud through your device's speaker or headphones — useful when reading the screen isn't an option.

Speech Mode is available on iOS, Android, the Web App, Mac, and Windows.

How It Works​

  1. Whisperr captures audio through your device's microphone
  2. Speech is transcribed and translated into your target language
  3. You toggle Speech Mode on — Whisperr reads the translated text aloud as it appears
  4. Listen through the device speaker or headphones while the text continues to display on screen

The spoken audio runs alongside the on-screen text, so you can read, listen, or both.

Get Started​

Choose your platform for step-by-step setup:

Use Cases​

  • Hands-free listening — driving, cooking, or walking, when looking at the screen isn't safe or practical
  • Accessibility — readers with low vision can hear the translation instead of (or alongside) reading it
  • Language learning — hear the natural pronunciation of the translated phrase to train your ear
  • Conversation flow — let the other person hear your reply spoken in their language without you needing to read it out loud

Tips for Best Results​

  • Use headphones or AirPods in noisy environments — the spoken translation is easier to follow without ambient noise
  • Lower your device volume slightly if Whisperr's spoken output is being picked back up by the microphone (avoids feedback loops)
  • Pair with Floating Subtitles to keep the on-screen translation visible while you switch to another app and listen
