Listen to spoken Spanish and watch it become a live transcript, then translate any sentence or word into English – a free live Spanish translator, no app needed.
Spanish has two verbs for 'to be' (ser/estar) and a rich verb conjugation system with a distinct ending for each person, so subject pronouns are often dropped entirely.
Pronunciation is highly regular – almost every letter is always pronounced the same way, which makes Spanish easier to read aloud than English or French.
Spanish and English share a huge amount of Latin-derived vocabulary (nation/nación, important/importante), which makes reading Spanish easier than the grammar might suggest. The real adjustment is grammatical: Spanish uses grammatical gender for every noun and has a subjunctive mood that shows up constantly in everyday speech, something English mostly abandoned centuries ago.
Yes. Tap the microphone near a Spanish speaker – a friend, host family, or tandem partner – and Jaaluu turns what's said into a live scrolling transcript you can translate sentence by sentence, without ever interrupting to ask "what does that mean?"
Yes. Play any Spanish podcast, radio show, or TV program near your microphone and the words appear as text in real time, so you can translate a line you couldn't quite catch instead of losing it.
No – Jaaluu always translates into your own interface language, English, rather than directly between two foreign languages. A Spanish live transcript translates into English here; to go from Spanish into French or German directly, you'd need that language set as your interface instead.
Spanish is spoken quickly and its spelling is refreshingly phonetic and regular, but a fast conversation can still blur where one word ends and the next begins. Seeing the speech as text lets you catch that word boundary instantly, then translate it on the spot.
Both. Tap "translate" under any transcribed line for the full sentence, or click a single word for its translation, a grammar note (like verb form), and example sentences.
No. It runs right in your browser – no app to install, no setup beyond allowing microphone access.
