How do I read a foreign-language speaker live in Vozzle?
Open Travel mode in Vozzle, set "You" to your language and "Partner" to theirs, then tap Start Conversation. As each person speaks, Vozzle listens and shows their words translated into your language on the spot, with the original underneath. Reading the live translation on screen works on any plan; the optional spoken read-out (so you actually hear it aloud) is a Pro feature.
Here's how
Open Travel mode
Open Travel mode from the Meetings + button, or by long-pressing the on-screen Speak button and choosing Travel. It's a two-person mode by design — built for you and one partner, not a room.
Set the two languages
In the You/Partner card, tap each side to pick your language and your partner's; "You" mirrors your default language and "Partner" is remembered for next time. Vozzle picks the right side per line by the language it actually hears, so a bilingual speaker's foreign words still land correctly even if both voices merge into one speaker.
Start the conversation
Give it an optional title and tap Start Conversation. Travel mode needs an internet connection to translate live — the button stays disabled and shows "Travel mode needs an internet connection." when you're offline, since translation runs server-side.
Read each side live
Hold the phone between you — every line appears in your language up top with the spoken original beneath, in chat bubbles split by speaker. The "Foreign → your language" and "You → partner's language" labels above the thread confirm which direction each side is being translated.
There are two read-out toggles, and they sit in the direction row rather than the bottom bar. The left pill — "Foreign → your language" — speaks your partner's lines aloud to you; the right pill — "You → their language" — reads YOUR words aloud in their language, so you can talk normally and let the phone speak for both of you. Tap either pill to turn it on.
Worth knowing
- Partner voice is ProThe "The other person's voice" picker on the setup screen (28 natural voices) sits behind the same Pro gate as the rest of Travel mode — it only matters once Vozzle can actually speak.
- Language-first routingEach line is sided by the language Vozzle detects first and only falls back to the speaker slot, which is what keeps a foreign-language reply from landing on your side when the transcriber merges both voices into one speaker.
- Held privately, 30 daysWhile it listens, Vozzle keeps a private on-device backup of what it hears for up to 30 days, never reaching our servers, so a dropped connection or crash can't lose the conversation.
- Read-out auto-stopsIf the voice playback hits its spend cap or trips a circuit-breaker mid-session, the read-out toggles flip themselves off automatically — you keep reading the live text, you just stop hearing it aloud.
While you're here
Do I need a paid plan to read the live translation?
Yes — Travel mode is a Pro feature in full, not just its spoken read-out. On Starter, tapping Start Conversation shows the Pro paywall. A free account can still try the whole thing against its lifetime trial credits (10 to start).
What if a third person joins in?
Travel mode keeps the conversation to two canonical sides. When a stray voice appears it shows a You / Foreign / Ignore banner so you can place it, and assigning a third speaker quietly merges it into the side you pick. At meeting end a safety net consolidates anything left over down to the two busiest speakers — under the hood there's no "only two speakers" hint to the transcriber (the engine ignores speaker-count hints), so this folding is how Vozzle enforces two sides.
Can I swap or fix which side is which mid-conversation?
Yes, without restarting. Long-press any single bubble and choose "Move to You" / "Move to Foreign" to fix that speaker, or open the Speakers control to reassign or hide someone. There's no Swap button — Travel routes each line by the language it detects rather than by speaker slot, so flipping the sides wholesale wouldn't change anything. Reassignments apply going forward, so an early mislabel doesn't force you to start over.
