Follow spoken conversations with live translations on your Android device.
Übersetz is a live voice translator that turns speech into readable transcripts and translates it into your chosen language. Use it in meetings, lectures and travel.
READ SPEECH AND TRANSLATIONS AS THEY ARRIVE
Read partial and completed transcripts. Switch between Heard and Translation for the original speech or translation.
Select a source language, or use automatic source handling with supported live providers. Choose Transcription only for supported on-device speech without translation.
Read comfortably on phones, tablets and foldables, with adaptive layouts and manual fullscreen. Sessions continue while resizing. Choose light, dark, or system appearance.
KEEP LISTENING IN THE BACKGROUND
Start listening while Übersetz is open, then switch to another app or lock your device. Speech transcription and translation can continue through an Android foreground service while the system permits it.
A persistent notification shows when Übersetz is listening and lets you stop the session. Android's microphone privacy indicator remains visible while the microphone is active.
CHOOSE HOW TO TRANSLATE
- Google On-device: ML Kit speech recognition and ML Kit Translation run locally on supported devices after the required models are downloaded.
- OpenAI GPT Realtime Translate: sends microphone audio to OpenAI and returns live source and translated text.
- Google Gemini Live Translate: sends microphone audio to Google and streams source and translated text.
- Your own Ollama server: translates stable transcript text sent to your server.
- OpenAI-compatible endpoints: translate stable transcript text at your configured endpoint, including compatible OpenRouter configurations.
ON-DEVICE SUPPORT AND SETUP
On-device speech requires a supported device and source language. Übersetz checks availability and guides model downloads.
If on-device speech recognition is unavailable, Google On-device, Ollama, and OpenAI-compatible options are disabled because they depend on it. GPT Realtime and Gemini Live Translate remain available as cloud alternatives, subject to provider access and setup.
PRIVACY BY CHOICE
With Google On-device, transcription and translation stay on your device after the required models are installed. No account is required for supported on-device use.
GPT Realtime and Gemini Live Translate receive microphone audio for transcription and translation. Ollama and OpenAI-compatible engines receive transcript text at the endpoint you configure.
Provider credentials use Android Keystore-backed encryption. Übersetz has no ads or in-app tracking. External providers may require their own API key, network connection, account, or paid usage plan.
REQUIREMENTS AND CURRENT LIMITS
Requires Android 12 or later. Features depend on your device, selected language, installed Google components, provider availability, and network connection.
Open Übersetz before starting a background microphone session. Force-stopping the app or Android terminating its foreground service ends listening.
Your latest written transcript checkpoint is restored with listening stopped when you reopen the app. Share or save transcripts as Markdown. Provisional or unwritten changes can be lost. Speaker detection is not included.
OPTIONAL AUDIO RECORDING
Save audio while listening is off by default and requires separate consent. Recordings stay in private, backup-excluded storage. Stop pauses recording; Start appends without paused gaps. Reopening restores written audio paused. Play recordings when listening is stopped, or share or save an M4A file.
Clear asks for confirmation before deleting retained session text and audio. Copies saved or shared outside the app remain at your chosen destination. Saved recordings are not automatically uploaded; cloud-provider permissions still apply separately.
