How to Translate Cantonese to English Live
What Live Cantonese to English Translation Has to Get Right
Mandarin (final consonants lost)
Cantonese (final consonants preserved)Cantonese keeps sounds Mandarin dropped
Cantonese still ends syllables with -p, -t, and -k, which Mandarin lost over time. The two aren't accents of one language; they're different sound systems.
tone of voice (English)
sentence-final particle (Cantonese)A single trailing syllable can carry the whole mood of a sentence
Particles like 㗎 (ga3) and 咩 (me1) attach to the end of a sentence and turn it into surprise, insistence, or doubt. English carries that in tone of voice instead.

kept exactly as spokenMixed Cantonese-English speech is normal, not an error
Dropping English words into a Cantonese sentence is ordinary in Hong Kong business speech. Those terms come through as spoken, not reworded.
Live Cantonese to English Translator Settings That Matter
Four settings that separate a rough session from a clean one.
Use the custom dictionary for names and jargon
Add names, product terms, and internal jargon before you start, so the words you rely on don't come back as something close instead.
Share the live translation session with a link
Send a link and anyone joins the live session in their browser, reading the translated captions or hearing the audio as it happens. No account needed on their end.
Select auto-detect for mixed-language speech
If more than Cantonese might come up in the same conversation, auto-detect picks up each language as it's spoken instead of locking the session to one source.
Jump back to any moment
Once a session is over and saved, click any line of the transcript to hear the exact timestamped moment. No need to listen through everything again.

Learn MoreCantonese to English Voice Translator FAQ
Is this different from the Chinese to English translator?
Yes. Cantonese and Mandarin aren't mutually intelligible, and a tool set to "Chinese" usually means Mandarin. Selecting Cantonese means the audio is recognized as Cantonese rather than run through a Mandarin model.
Does the live voice translator keep up with Cantonese's six tones?
Yes. The recognition model is trained on Cantonese's own tone system rather than adapted from Mandarin's four tones, so pitch is read as part of the word rather than as emphasis.
What if the speaker mixes Cantonese and English?
Dropping English words into a Cantonese sentence is ordinary in Hong Kong business speech, and those terms come through as spoken rather than reworded. If a session is likely to move between the two languages more heavily, auto-detect picks up each one as it's spoken.
Can the Cantonese to English voice translator distinguish speakers in the session?
Yes. Each speaker gets their own line in their own color as the session runs, so the transcript stays readable when people talk over one another. In the editor afterwards, speaker detection adds labels (Speaker 1, Speaker 2, and so on) that you can rename.
How can I get spoken English audio in addition to live captions?
Spoken English audio comes from Dubbing, a separate tab in the same tool. Pick an AI English voice for the dubbed audio, or turn on voice cloning to keep the original speaker's voice speaking English. Captions and dubbing can run together, so people can read, listen, or both.
Is the Cantonese to English voice translator free?
It's free to try, with no card and no account required.
Which varieties of Cantonese does the live voice translator support?
Cantonese is a single option, covering Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and Cantonese-speaking communities elsewhere. For the best results, set Cantonese as the source at the start of the session. You can also leave it on auto-detect, which is the better choice if the conversation moves between languages.
How do I know the translation is right if I don't speak Cantonese?
Save the session and every segment links back to its audio timestamp, so you can check the specific moments you doubt instead of re-listening to the whole recording. For anything high-stakes, the full transcript can be reviewed in the editor afterwards.
Can I edit the translation afterwards?
Yes. Your Cantonese to English session opens in an editor afterward with the audio aligned to every line, ready to correct and export.
Does the Cantonese to English voice translator work on a group call, not just one-on-one?
Yes. One person starts the session and shares a link, and everyone else joins in their browser to read the captions or hear the translated audio, with no account needed on their end. Sharing a live session with others requires a paid plan.
Which English accents can I choose for the spoken translation?
The live Cantonese to English voice translator offers nineteen regional English accents, including American, British, Australian, Indian, and more. You pick the voice and accent when you set up real-time dubbing.
