Gemini Live Translate
Translates while you speak, with 70+ languages in either direction. The widest coverage of the three.
Live interpreting for phone calls
Every call,
in your own language.
You speak. They hear it in their language a moment later, and their answer comes back in yours. The person on the other end just picks up an ordinary phone.

Models
Every live translation model.
One phone call.
Speko Translate runs on the Speko Router, which carries the live speech-translation models from Google, OpenAI and Alibaba behind one connection. Choose one yourself, or leave it on Auto and we pick for you and switch to the next model if one can’t start your call.
OpenAI
Realtime Translate
OpenAI’s streaming speech-to-speech translation model, with live captions of both sides.
Alibaba
Qwen LiveTranslate
Qwen’s real-time interpreter. Understands 60 languages and speaks 29 of them.
Speko
Auto
Starts on the best model for your call and falls back to the next one in seconds if a provider fails. You never hear the switch as silence.
Made for the calls that matter
When the only way through
is a phone call.
The clinic that won't take email. The landlord who only answers the phone. The office with a hold line and no translator. Speko Translate turns each of them into a conversation you can actually have.

Questions
Good to know.
Does the person I call need anything?
No. They answer an ordinary call on a mobile or a landline. All of the interpreting happens on our side.
Will they know an interpreter is on the line?
Yes. When they pick up, they hear a short note in their own language that the call is interpreted by AI. Conversations go better when both sides know.
How quickly does it translate?
Speko Translate starts translating while the speaker is still talking, and the translation usually lands a couple of seconds behind them. Short pauses help, just as they would with a human interpreter.
Which numbers can I call?
Any number in the United States and Canada. More countries are on the way.
Can I choose the translation model?
Yes. Pick Gemini, OpenAI or Qwen before each call, or leave it on Auto. Auto starts on Gemini, which covers the most languages, and moves to the next model if one fails to start.
Are calls recorded?
If you want them to be. With recording on, each call is saved with its transcript, and the other person hears at the start, in their language, that the call is recorded. Turn it off any time in Settings.
How does billing work?
You add credit in advance. Each call costs $0.09 a minute, billed by the second from the moment you dial, ringing included. If your credit is about to run out, Speko Translate warns you a minute before the call ends.
Should I wear headphones?
If you can. Otherwise your microphone may pick up the translated voice from your speakers.
