Translating a Zoom, Meet or Teams call?
This page listens to your microphone. For a call, SonicMeet listens to the call itself and puts Spanish captions right on it: in the Chrome or Edge tab, or with the Windows and Mac app. Spanish-speaking teammates install it on their side and read along. Google sign-in, 20 minutes free, one time.
SonicMeet runs on desktop — open this page on your computer to install.

English to Spanish, the way people actually talk
Real SonicMeet captions from our tests: casual speech, English as a second language, big numbers.
Casual speech
“Gonna” was no problem, and “push the review” came out as what it means here: “aplazar”.
English as a second language
Spanish, French and Portuguese speakers often say “reunion” for a meeting. The caption lands on what they meant.
Big numbers
“Billion” became “mil millones”, not “billón”. The decimal point is written the Mexican way; Spain and Argentina use a comma (1,5).
Formal or casual “you”
English has one “you”, so the caption picks. Here it chose “tú”, which doesn’t mean the speaker is being casual with you.
Names, product jargon and rare words can still slip. Every caption keeps the English underneath, so you can check it at a glance.
In your meetings: Instant or Accurate?
The translator on this page runs in Instant. The extension and the desktop app let you trade a few seconds for steadier sentences.
Instant
sub-second delayGood for casual calls and following the gist.
Accurate
roughly 1 to 5 seconds behind InstantGood for numbers, dates and decisions. Our pick for work meetings in English.
Does your meeting app already translate English to Spanish?
Sometimes, on the right plan. Here’s what each one needs for this direction.
Certain Workspace and Google AI plans. Not free Gmail, not Business Starter.
Meet pageEnglish ↔ Spanish is one of six pairs. One pair per meeting, 90-minute cap, paid plans. It speaks the translation; SonicMeet doesn’t.
Meet pageIncluded on Business Plus and Enterprise, an add-on on Pro and Business. The host turns it on.
Zoom pageEnglish and Spanish are among its five languages. Needs ZoomMate or the Live Translation add-on, desktop app 7.0 or later.
Zoom pageThe organizer needs Teams Premium or a Copilot license.

Questions about the English to Spanish voice translator
Is this English to Spanish translator free?
Yes for 2 minutes on this page, no sign-up. SonicMeet itself needs a Google sign-in: new accounts get 20 minutes free, one time, and paid plans start at $10 a month.
Does it speak the Spanish out loud?
No. It shows the Spanish as text on your screen, with the English in smaller type under each line, and nothing is played aloud. If a Spanish speaker needs to hear it, Google Meet, Zoom and Teams can speak translations on some paid plans; the table above has the details.
Can it translate a Zoom or Google Meet call?
Not from this page: it only hears your microphone. The SonicMeet extension translates the call’s own audio and shows the captions on top of Google Meet, Zoom or Teams in Chrome or Edge. The Windows and Mac app does the same for any call app.
Can the Spanish speaker see the translation?
Only on a screen that shows it. Here, turn your phone or laptop toward them. In a call, they install SonicMeet and get Spanish captions on their own screen. Nothing is added to the call, and nobody else has to install anything.
Does it translate both ways at once?
No. It translates one direction at a time: English into Spanish, or Spanish into English after you press the swap button. In a back-and-forth conversation, swap when the other person starts talking.
Which Spanish does it use?
There is one Spanish setting. In our tests the wording leaned Latin American (“costos”, not “costes”), and readers in Spain follow it without trouble.
Does it translate in real time?
Yes. The English appears word by word as it’s spoken, and the Spanish follows a phrase at a time, a moment behind. Each sentence is fully translated within about a second of the speaker finishing it. In the extension and the desktop app you can switch to Accurate, which runs roughly 1 to 5 seconds behind Instant but translates whole sentences.
Is my audio recorded?
No. Audio is sent to SonicMeet and our speech provider to be processed live, and we don’t keep an audio recording.
