English–Portuguese translation
Live English–Portuguese voice translation for clearer conversations
Babel creates a shared browser conversation for English and Portuguese speakers. Participants speak in the language that feels natural, hear the other side in their chosen language, and can read the live transcript for added context.
How Babel translates a live conversation
Babel is a conversation space, not a phrasebook. Speech, translation, and playback happen together in the browser.
Speak naturally
Each participant speaks in their own language. Babel recognizes the speech and produces a live translation.
Hear and read
Participants hear translated speech in their chosen language and can follow the readable transcript as the conversation continues.
English–Portuguese conversations Babel supports
Families across the Atlantic
Talk more naturally with relatives, partners, and friends connected across Brazil, Portugal, and English-speaking countries.
International customers

Suppliers and remote collaborators

Built for real remote conversations
Individual language choice
Each participant chooses the language they want to hear, so the conversation does not depend on one shared translation setting.
Browser-based access
Join from a modern browser with microphone access. No mobile or desktop application is required.
Voice and transcript together
Listen to translated speech while the text transcript provides a second way to follow what was said.
Babel is not intended for emergency, medical, legal, or other safety-critical interpretation. Use a qualified human interpreter whenever accuracy is critical.
Frequently asked questions
Does Babel translate English and Portuguese both ways?
Yes. Participants can translate spoken English into Portuguese and spoken Portuguese into English, with an independent listening-language choice for each person.
Does Babel support Brazilian and European Portuguese speech?
