Chrome Extension
Speak. Translate. Type — automatically.
Talk in one language and watch your words land, translated, in any text field on the web — including fields inside iframes. Defaults to Urdu → English, with 19 languages built in.
Free and open-source.
The side panel — pick your languages, tap the mic, and watch it transcribe and translate live.
How it works
Four steps, all happening live as you talk.
Speak
Click into any text field on a webpage, tap the mic, and start talking in your chosen language.
Transcribe
Your speech appears live under "You said" — gray italic while Chrome is still recognizing it.
Translate
Each chunk is translated in order in the background, in the language you picked to translate to.
Auto-type
With Auto-type on, the translation is typed straight into the field you clicked — no copy-paste needed.
Features
Works across iframes
Comment boxes, chat widgets, and embedded forms often live inside nested iframes. Every frame reports its focused field, so typing lands in exactly the right place.
19 built-in languages
Pick what you speak and what you want it translated to. Your choices are remembered next time you open the panel.
Hear it back
Speak reads the translation aloud using your browser's built-in voices. Copy and Insert into page give you full control too.
Never leaves you empty-handed
If direct typing fails for any reason, the translation is copied to your clipboard automatically — just paste with Ctrl+V.
Reliable listening
Chrome's speech engine stops after a pause — the extension restarts it automatically, with retry and backoff if something goes wrong.
Correct ordering
Speech chunks are translated one at a time in a queue, so fast talking can't cause pieces to land out of order.
Good to know
A couple of honest limitations, straight up.
Google Docs, Sheets & Slides
These render their own canvas instead of a normal text field, so no extension can reliably type into them via standard methods. This extension tries harder and may work for short insertions — and if a direct attempt fails, the translation is copied to your clipboard automatically so you can paste it.
Chrome internal pages
Pages like the New Tab Page, chrome://settings, and the Chrome Web Store are special internal addresses that no extension is allowed to type into — a Chrome platform restriction, not a limitation of this extension.
