How to translate Portuguese audio to English

  1. Upload the recording. Drag in an audio or video file: an interview, a voice message, a lecture, a family video, a meeting in another language.
  2. Pick the languages. Portuguese and English are already selected. Change either one if your recording needs it, or set the spoken language to auto-detect.
  3. Read, copy or download. The translation opens first, speaker by speaker with timestamps. Switch to the original transcript or the AI summary, copy the text, or download it as .txt, .srt or .vtt subtitles.

Common questions

Does it work for both Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes, both are recognized. Brazilian Portuguese is the more common variety in speech data and tends to transcribe a little more cleanly; European Portuguese, with its reduced vowels and fast delivery, can produce more misheard words, especially in noisy audio.

Can I translate WhatsApp voice messages?

Yes. Export the voice message from WhatsApp (it is usually an .opus or .ogg file) and upload it. Short clips work, though very short ones give auto-detect little to go on, so choose Portuguese as the spoken language.

Are slang and informal speech translated well?

Everyday informal speech is translated in context and generally reads naturally in English. Regional slang, gírias and inside jokes may be translated too literally. When a line looks odd, compare it with the Portuguese in the Original tab.

Do I get a summary in English?

Yes. With English as the target, the AI summary is written in English, covering the main topics and any action items, so you can share the gist of a Portuguese meeting with people who do not speak it.

Is this audio translator really free?

Yes. You can translate up to 5 files per day (200MB each) free, with no account and no watermark. For unlimited recording and transcription, the Wave app has a free plan and paid plans from $80 a year or $15 a month.

What happens to my file?

Your file is uploaded to temporary storage, transcribed and translated. We may then keep a private copy of the audio and the original transcript to improve Wave's speech recognition. They are never published. Please don't upload recordings you aren't comfortable sharing with us.
