Speech Mode on Windows

This page covers the Windows setup for Speech Mode. For how it works and use cases, see the Speech Mode overview.

Speech Mode reads each finished translation aloud through your PC's speakers or headphones, so you can listen instead of (or alongside) reading the screen.

How to Use Speech Mode on Windows​

  1. Download Whisperr for Windows if you haven't already, then launch Whisperr
The Whisperr desktop app open on the main screen
  1. Set your Speaking (source) and Translate to (target) languages
Selecting the Speaking and Translate to languages in the Whisperr desktop app
  1. Turn on the Interpreter toggle — Whisperr speaks each translated line aloud as it appears
Turning on the Interpreter toggle in the Whisperr desktop app
  1. Click the record button — each finalized translation is spoken aloud while the text stays on screen
Clicking the record button in the Whisperr desktop app

Adjust the Speaking speed (0.5×–2×) under ⚙ Settings to taste. Use headphones for private listening and to avoid the spoken output being picked back up by the microphone.

On Windows, translations are read in the standard voice for your target language. Choosing the voice — Auto, Male, or Female, with Auto matching each speaker's own voice — is available on iPhone/iPad, Android, and the Web App; see Choosing the Voice.

Common Issues (Windows)​

No audio is spoken​

Confirm the Interpreter toggle is on, and that your PC isn't muted — check the output device via System > Sound (or right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and choose Sound settings).

Echo or feedback loop​

When Whisperr is capturing your microphone, Echo Cancellation is automatic on Windows — it filters the app's own spoken output out of the mic, so no toggle is needed. If you still hear the same sentence translated twice, use headphones or lower your output volume.

When Whisperr is capturing system or screen audio, it mutes the captured stream while the translation is playing instead, so the loop can't start.

Still nothing​

Restart the app and try again.
