Listen

Hear any speaker in your own language.

Point your phone at a TV, radio or speaker. Owaa transcribes what it hears and translates it into your language as it goes.

Start listening

Opens the Owaa app. Sign in with a free Owaa account to use it.

How it works

  1. 01

    Choose your language

    Pick the language you want the translation in.

  2. 02

    Press Start

    Point your phone at the audio source. The first transcript usually arrives within 2 to 3 seconds.

  3. 03

    Read or listen along

    Follow the live translation on screen, or turn on the voice read-out. Earphones give clearer audio, since the phone mic may otherwise pick up its own output.

Where it helps

  • TV and radio

    Follow a broadcast that is not in a language you speak.

  • Lectures and talks

    Keep up with a speaker in the room.

  • Podcasts and recordings

    Understand audio playing from a speaker.
