Can Linga Chat read translations out loud?

Hear the translation, not just read it

Reading a translation tells you what something means, but it does not tell you how to say it. Linga Chat's Translation Speaker solves that by reading the translated text out loud. You get the sound of the phrase in your target language, which is exactly what you need when you are learning to pronounce it or want to repeat it back.

Why it helps learners

• Pronunciation — hear how a word or sentence is actually spoken.
• Listening practice — train your ear on natural phrasing.
• Confidence — repeat what you hear before you say it to a real partner.
• Accessibility — useful when reading small text on screen is hard.

Read and listen together

Because Translation Speaker works on top of the text translation, you can read a phrase and hear it at the same time. Seeing the words while you listen connects spelling to sound, which makes it easier to remember and to say it correctly the next time. It also helps in a live conversation: when you translate what someone said, you can play it out loud so they hear it in their own language.

One of four translation tools

Translation Speaker works together with instant message translation, simultaneous translation for live conversations, and photo translation for printed text. Together they cover reading, speaking, listening and looking things up, all across the 27 languages Linga Chat supports. It works on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and Windows and is free to start, so you can listen to translations and practice speaking from your first day in the app.
