Voice notes are everywhere \u2014 and if one arrives in a language you don’t speak, you’re stuck. SayFlick’s voice-note translator<\/a> (in beta) turns it into text in your language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n
  1. Open the voice-note translator.<\/li>\n\n\n
  2. Choose the voice note: Choose audio file<\/strong>, share it from WhatsApp on Android, or record it playing.<\/li>\n\n\n
  3. SayFlick writes down what was said and translates it into your language.<\/li>\n\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Languages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    It recognises Urdu, Arabic, English, Chinese and Hindi<\/strong>. By default it detects the language automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Private by design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The speech recognition runs on your phone. The voice note is never uploaded \u2014 only the written text is translated. The first time, SayFlick downloads the speech model (about 77 MB on the Fast<\/strong> setting), so use Wi-Fi; after that it’s stored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Accuracy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Short, clear voice notes work best. Background noise, mixed languages and strong dialects make mistakes more likely. The Accurate<\/strong> model (about 250 MB) is better for Urdu and Arabic but slower. Always check names and numbers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
