How to translate your voice in Zoom
Zoom reads from whichever microphone you select, so enabling translation is an audio-settings change rather than a meeting change.
Install Sonqra
Install Sonqra for Windows or macOS, then choose the language you speak and the language your colleagues should hear.
Start translation
Click “Start Translation” in Sonqra so the virtual microphone starts carrying your translated voice.
Select the Zoom microphone
In Zoom, open Settings → Audio and set Sonqra Virtual Microphone as your Microphone.
Test and join the meeting
Use Zoom's “Test Mic” to confirm the translated audio registers, then join your call as usual.
Why distributed teams meet with Sonqra
Meetings default to one shared language, which quietly costs you the contributions of everyone less fluent in it. Translating at the microphone lets people present their thinking in the language they think in.
Everyone speaks their own language
Colleagues contribute in full instead of simplifying their point to fit a second language.
Keep your existing meetings
No new meeting link, no interpreter scheduling, no admin approval — Zoom just sees another microphone.
One setup, several platforms
The same virtual microphone works in Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and other apps that let you pick an input device.
Start free
Try the full Zoom workflow on the free plan and upgrade when translated meetings become routine.

How do I use a real-time translator in Zoom?
Install Sonqra, start translation, then select Sonqra Virtual Microphone as your Microphone in Zoom Settings → Audio.
Do other participants need to install anything?
No. They hear the translated audio through the normal meeting audio. Each person who wants to be translated runs Sonqra themselves.
Does this work with Microsoft Teams and Google Meet?
Yes. Any app that lets you choose a microphone can use Sonqra Virtual Microphone, including Teams, Google Meet, and Slack huddles.
Can I record a translated meeting?
Zoom's own recording captures whatever audio the meeting carries, so the translated voice is recorded like any other participant audio.
Which languages are supported?
Sonqra supports 30+ popular languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, and Arabic.
How much delay does translation add to a meeting?
Sonqra is designed for low-latency conversation. Actual delay depends on your device, network, and language pair.
