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

Spanish to English, the way people actually talk
Real SonicMeet captions from our tests: Mexican and Argentine Spanish, English mixed in, big numbers.
Mexico and Central America
“Ya quedó” (it’s done) and “checar” (to check) are everyday Mexican Spanish, and both came through.
Argentina and Uruguay
“Re” means “really” and “che” is a friendly “hey”. The caption reads them the way a local would.
Spanish with English mixed in
Common in US and Latin American teams: the English word stays a call, and “agendar” (to schedule) comes through.
Big numbers
Spanish writes 1.500 millones for what English calls 1.5 billion. The caption converts it, so you don’t have to.
Names, slang and very fast speech can still slip. Every caption keeps the Spanish 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 Spanish work meetings.
Does your meeting app already translate Spanish to English?
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 pageSpanish and English 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.
Teams pageSpanish and English are among its ten languages. The organizer needs Copilot or Premium.
Teams pageAny plan on any of these apps. Captions on your screen only.

Questions about the Spanish to English voice translator
Is this Spanish to English 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 English out loud?
No. It shows the English as text on your screen, with the Spanish in smaller type under each line, and nothing is played aloud. If the other side needs to hear English, Google Meet’s speech translation can do that 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 English?
Only if you show them your screen. The captions appear on your device only. 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: Spanish into English, or English into Spanish after you press the swap button. In a back-and-forth conversation, swap when the other person starts talking.
Which Spanish accents does it understand?
Speakers from Mexico, the Caribbean, the Río de la Plata, the Andes and Spain all use the same Spanish setting, so you don’t pick a country. Very fast speech and loud background noise lower accuracy, as with any speech recognition.
Does it translate in real time?
Yes. The Spanish appears word by word as it’s spoken, and the English 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.
