How to use Whisperr in class

For lecture halls and online classes.

  1. 1

    In the hall: microphone capture

    Place your phone on the desk and let Whisperr listen to the lecturer. Live translated captions appear on your screen as they speak.

  2. 2

    Online class: system audio or tab capture

    For a Zoom, Teams, or Meet class, the Whisperr Mac or Windows app can capture your computer’s system audio directly — no browser tab needed. On a locked-down computer, join in a Chrome tab instead and capture it with the Whisperr Chrome Extension or Web App.

  3. 3

    Keep the transcript for study

    Save the on-screen transcript to review terms and key points after class.

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

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.”

Worth hundreds of thousands of yen

“The same performance as other conversation translation apps. Those charge by the minute, but this one is apparently a one-time purchase, so the value for money is outstanding. Compared with about five similar apps, this one is the best on both performance and price. I wonder whether it was made by a Japanese developer??”
