Live Audio Translation on Calls
📖 4 min read✍️ CallPayMin Team📅 Updated: October 2026
Live audio translation lets an expert and a client consult across languages in real time. You speak your own language, and the other person hears and reads theirs — right inside any audio or video call. It works across 40+ languages, with on-screen captions in even more, so a language gap never blocks a paid consultation.
How to turn it on during a call
- •Start or join any audio or video call as you normally would
- •In the call toolbar, tap the Translate control (the globe / languages icon)
- •Choose 'Live audio + captions'
- •Select the language you want to hear and read
- •Tap the Translate icon to start
- •Both people tap Accept on the quick consent prompt — translation begins right away
What you'll see and hear
- •Live captions appear on screen so you can read along as each person speaks
- •The other person's words are spoken back to you in your chosen language
- •Your own words are translated for them at the same time
- •You can turn translation off at any point from the same Translate control
- •Either person can switch their language mid-call if needed
💡 Get the best results
- ✓Use a headset or earbuds to keep the audio clean
- ✓Speak in short, natural sentences and pause briefly between speakers
- ✓A steady internet connection gives faster, more accurate translation
- ✓Reduce background noise so your words are picked up clearly
