1. Getting Started

LingoVoice is a real-time interpreting platform that lets people who speak different languages have a conversation together. No apps to install — it works directly in your web browser.

Create Your Account

You have three options to sign up:

Every new account gets 60 free minutes — no card required. Use them at your own pace.

2. How to Use LingoVoice

Using LingoVoice takes less than a minute to set up:

1
Sign In

Go to lingovoice.ai/app and sign in with your account. You'll see the "Join a Conversation" screen.

2
Enter Your Name & Language

Type your display name and select the language you speak. This is the language you'll type or speak in, and the language you'll receive translations in.

3
Create or Join a Room

Click "Create Room" to get a unique 6-character room code (e.g. ABC123), or enter an existing code to join someone else's room.

4
Share the Room Code

Send the 6-character code to the other person. They go to lingovoice.ai/app, sign in, enter the code, and join. That's it — you're connected.

5
Start Talking

Type or speak in your language. LingoVoice automatically translates everything for each participant into their chosen language in real time.

Tip: You can have multiple people in the same room, each speaking a different language. LingoVoice translates for everyone individually.

3. Text & Voice Messages

Text Messages

Type your message in the chat box and press Enter or click Send. Your message is instantly translated and delivered to every other participant in their language. You'll see both the original text and the translation.

Voice Messages

Click the microphone button to record a voice message. LingoVoice will:

  1. Transcribe your speech to text (speech-to-text).
  2. Translate the text into each participant's language.
  3. Deliver the translated text to the room.

Participants can also enable text-to-speech to hear translations spoken aloud in their language.

Tip: For voice messages, speak clearly and at a normal pace. Short sentences (10-20 words) give the best translation accuracy.

4. Supported Languages

LingoVoice supports 260+ languages for text translation, covering virtually every spoken language in the world. Here's an overview:

Feature Languages Details
Text Translation 260+ Full coverage including rare and regional languages
Voice Input (Speech-to-Text) 50+ All major languages, including 14 Arabic dialects
Voice Output (Text-to-Speech) 50+ Premium voices for 29 languages via ElevenLabs, plus Google and Azure voices

Popular languages include English, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Hindi, Turkish, Dutch, Polish, and many more.

Tip: LingoVoice automatically optimises translation quality for each language pair to deliver the most accurate results possible.

5. Pricing & Minutes

How It Works

How Minutes Are Counted

Minutes are counted from when you join a room until you leave. If you belong to an organisation, the organisation's shared pool is used first, then your personal free minutes, then your paid minutes.

You'll get a warning when you have less than 5 minutes remaining, so you always have time to wrap up a conversation.

Payment Methods

We accept all major payment methods through Mollie (cards, iDEAL, Bancontact, and more) and PayPal.

6. Tips for Best Results

1
Use a Good Microphone

A headset or dedicated microphone gives much better voice recognition than a laptop's built-in mic. Reduce background noise where possible.

2
Speak Clearly & Naturally

Speak at a normal pace. Avoid speaking too fast or mumbling. Clear speech dramatically improves transcription accuracy.

3
Keep Messages Short

Shorter messages (1-2 sentences) translate more accurately than long paragraphs. Break complex ideas into smaller messages.

4
Use a Modern Browser

LingoVoice works best on Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari. Make sure your browser is up to date for the best experience.

5
Allow Microphone Access

When your browser asks for microphone permission, click "Allow". This is required for voice messages. You can revoke it any time in your browser settings.

7. Frequently Asked Questions
