AiThaoBefore the call
- Agree on a time and make sure you both have an internet connection.
- Check that your languages are supported in the mode you need.
- Write down the names, addresses, dates and amounts you will need to say.
During the call
Tell the other person you will be using translation and make sure they agree. Take turns, do not interrupt, and pause after each complete thought. Short sentences are easier to recognise and to check.
If a translation sounds odd, say it more simply. Noise and fast speech make recognition worse; moving somewhere quiet often helps more than repeating the same long sentence.
After the call
Confirm the critical details in writing: the date, the address, the price, the name and what you decided. For medical, legal or financial matters, do not rely on automatic translation alone.
On this site you can try translating a short spoken phrase. The web demo does not make a real call to another person.
Questions
Do I need to learn the language first?
No, but it helps to know the topic and write down the important terms. That makes it easier to notice a translation mistake.
What if the connection drops?
Stop, reconnect and repeat your last thought. Confirm important details in writing.
