TalkFerry is a real-time voice translator for VRChat, Discord and PC games. You talk into your microphone; the people you play with hear you in their language. On your phone, it translates a conversation with the person sitting across from you.
5 free minutes to start. No card and no subscription.
Live captions
What they get: your voice and a caption, in Japanese
What you see: a panel on top of the game
Two switches in one small panel. Turn on the one you need, or both.
Your voice, in their language
You say, You say, in English Want to take a photo together?

Their voice, in your subtitles

You read, You read, in English Want to go to the next world together?
TalkFerry shows up as a microphone on your PC. There is no plugin, no bot to invite and nothing for the other side to install.
A translated voice through your mic and subtitles in the chatbox above your avatar.
Voice channels, group calls and direct calls. It is your input device, not a bot.
Talk to teammates in their language without giving up frames: the work happens in the cloud.
Read what other people say, translated, while the game or the call keeps running.
The Android app splits the screen in two and turns the far half around, so the person opposite reads it the right way up. Each of you holds your own button and talks.

A minute is time the translator spends processing speech. Pauses and silence are free. In our own testing, an hour of lively conversation used about 19 minutes.
Minute packs are one-time purchases in the Android app through Google Play, and the PC uses the same balance. Minutes do not currently expire.

TalkFerry is a real-time voice translator. On a Windows PC it translates your microphone into another language and sends the translated voice into VRChat, Discord or any game with voice chat, and it can subtitle what other people say. On an Android phone it translates a face-to-face conversation on a split screen. Both apps use one account and one minute balance.
No. On PC, TalkFerry acts as your microphone, so everyone else simply hears the translated voice in the app they already use. On the phone, one phone is enough: the other person reads and listens on the half of the screen that faces them.
It is simultaneous rather than sentence by sentence: the translated voice starts while you are still talking and usually runs about one to two seconds behind you. The panel shows the current delay. Speed depends on your connection and on how busy the translation service is.
No. The translation runs in the cloud, so TalkFerry does not use your GPU and leaves your frame rate alone. There is no API key to create or paste: you sign in with Google and start. You do need an internet connection.
74 languages, including English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian, Thai and Vietnamese. Any of them can be the language you speak or the language the other person hears. The language you speak can also be detected automatically.
Every account starts with 5 free minutes, no card needed. After that you buy minute packs in the Android app: 60 minutes for $6.99, 200 minutes for $19.99 or 500 minutes for $44.99. There is no subscription. The price shown in Google Play, in your currency and with local taxes, is the one you pay.
The time the translator spends processing speech, including about two seconds after each sentence while it finishes. Silence is not counted. In our own testing, an hour of lively conversation used roughly 19 minutes. Understand mode uses minutes faster because it processes everything it hears.
Audio is streamed through our server to Google Gemini, which does the translation. We do not record or store your audio or the transcripts. While TalkFerry runs on Gemini’s unpaid tier, Google may use what is said to improve its products and human reviewers may read or listen to it, so do not use TalkFerry for anything confidential. The privacy policy has the details.
