In-person interpretation

Use your phone or computer to support a face-to-face conversation when you speak different languages. In Person lets you follow the spoken text, read translations and keep useful results afterwards.

Choose the languages

Select your language and the second conversation language before starting. Choose the pair that matches the people speaking, rather than the language of the app interface. If you only need original-language text, leave the second language empty to transcribe without translation.

You can check the available languages and the app's current voice options before the conversation. Text translation and translated voice have different support; a language appearing in the selector does not mean every voice option is available.

Start and follow the conversation

Review the processing information, let the other person know that text will be saved, and allow microphone access. Place the device where it can hear both of you. Take turns and leave space for the other person to respond.

Follow the translated text, or display original and translated text together. When supported, you can enable translated voice. Check important details together and ask for clarification when a phrase is unclear.

Pause or end

Pause when you need a break. Resume when everyone is ready to continue, and check the microphone status if the app was interrupted or moved into the background. End the session when the conversation is finished.

These controls help you manage capture deliberately. Pausing does not remove text that has already been saved.

Review the saved text

Open the session afterwards to revisit original speech and translations. You can request a summary from the saved text and preview selected results before downloading or sharing them. Audio and video are not recorded.

Get started

Try In Person, or explore live interpretation and live transcription in more detail.

Can I use In Person for transcription only?

Yes. Leave the second conversation language empty to use original-language transcription without translation.

Can I read the original and translated text together?

Yes. Use the text display control during an in-person conversation to choose the available view.

Does pausing delete the conversation?

No. Pausing stops capture while keeping saved text. Resume to continue, or end the session to review its results.
