Listening with translation
Android · iPhone · quillo.trUpdated:
Where: Reader › More (⋮) › Translation; full player › "Translate & Listen" chip.
- 1Choose the target language from the "Translation" menu ("Off" stops translation).
- 2The language model (about 30 MB) is downloaded once; after that it works offline. On mobile data you are asked first.
- 3Sentences are translated on your device and voiced in the language you chose; with a downloaded natural voice for that language if there is one (see Natural on-device voice), otherwise with the device voice. The original sentence is highlighted on the page. The dock's position line shows the translated sentence, and a downloading message while the model downloads.
- 4Choose the reading style in the "Read aloud" row of the same window: "Translation only" reads every sentence in the language you chose; "Original + translation" reads each sentence first in its own language and then, after a short pause, its translation. You can change this while reading; reading continues where it was.
Translation runs entirely on the device; the text doesn't go to the internet.
Web (quillo.tr): In the reader, choose the target language in the Translation tab of the right panel (the translation icon in the top bar). The "Read aloud" row has three options: "In the original language" (the voice reads in the document's own language and the translation only shows as text), "Translation only" (when you press Listen, each sentence's translation is read in the chosen language and the original sentence is marked on the page) and "Original + translation" (each sentence is read first in its own language, then its translation). When a language is chosen, the default is "Translation only". The Listen button on the "This sentence" and "This page" cards reads that translation in the chosen language; press again to stop. On the web translation is done with Ai: a few sentences ahead of the reading position are translated at once and count as Ai pages. Voicing uses the voice you chose; the device voice uses your browser's voice in that language, the Cloud voice reads every language in the same voice and counts as cloud minutes. On the separate Translation page, opened with the "Translation →" link at the bottom of the tab, text or document pages are translated and read with "Listen".
