Speaking Bee translating “Do you have something for a sore throat?” from English into Spanish

How it works

Four beats, every time you speak.

  1. 1

    Listening

    Speak naturally. The words appear as you say them.

  2. 2

    Waiting for a pause

    It waits for a second of quiet, so you can finish your sentence.

  3. 3

    Translating

    Your words are turned into the other language.

  4. 4

    Speaking

    Speaking Bee says it out loud, with the text big on screen.

One speaker

Say it once. They hear it in theirs.

Pick the language you need and talk. Speaking Bee says it out loud in their language, with the words big on screen so they can read along too.

Play it again as often as you need, or copy the text to send later.

Two speaker

Put the phone between you.

Choose both languages and take turns. Each of you speaks your own and hears the other in yours.

No passing the phone back and forth, and nobody has to learn an app to join in.

Languages

58 languages, from Afrikaans to Welsh.

Spanish at the pharmacy, Polish at parents’ evening, Arabic at the market. Pick it and start talking.

Recordings

Record now, understand it later.

Record a meeting, a lesson or a voicemail, then translate it into the languages you need. The transcript stays with the recording.

Social

Paste a video link, get the words.

Found a video in a language you don’t speak? Paste the link and read it in yours.

Premium

Free to start. Premium when you need more.

Every day you get 3 recordings and live sessions of up to 2 minutes, free. Premium removes the daily limit and keeps live sessions going for up to 30 minutes.
