Speak English. They read Vietnamese.
Speecho listens to the room and streams Vietnamese subtitles while the sentence is still being spoken. The parents and grandparents who follow English at half speed get the same talk as everyone else.

For rooms where the English is fluent at the front and second-language at the back
Vietnamese communities where the working language of the institution is not the language of the home.
Parishes with a Vietnamese congregation
The homily or the announcements are in English, the older half of the congregation grew up speaking Vietnamese, and the volunteer who interprets is not always free.
Now: Vietnamese appears on the screen, or on the phone of anyone who scans the QR code at the door.
Shift briefings and safety training
Training and policy updates are delivered in English because that is the company language. The crew that most needs to follow them is the one least likely to.
Now: The same briefing reads in Vietnamese in real time, and the transcript afterwards records what was actually communicated.
School meetings and community information nights
A back-to-school night runs in English; Vietnamese-speaking parents wait for an interpreter who was booked for another school.
Now: Parents read the meeting in Vietnamese as it happens, on the phones already in their hands.
Subtitles appear while the sentence is still being spoken
Interim words show up instantly and settle as the phrase completes - the English above, the Vietnamese below.
Good evening everyone, thank you for coming.
Chào buổi tối mọi người, cảm ơn quý vị đã đến.
We will start with the announcements, then the main talk.
Chúng ta sẽ bắt đầu với các thông báo, sau đó là phần chính.
If you have questions, there is time at the end.
Nếu quý vị có câu hỏi, sẽ có thời gian ở cuối.
Three steps, and the room is reading
Set up once; after that it is one button before you start.
1. Pick where the sound comes from
The microphone in the room, or the audio of a browser tab if the meeting is online. Taking audio from the sound desk beats a laptop microphone in a large room.
Note: tab audio needs Chrome or Edge. In Safari and Firefox the microphone is the way in.
2. Share the reading link
One link, shown as a QR code on the screen or printed in the programme. It opens in a browser - no install, no account, and each reader sets their own text size.
put the subtitles on the projector in fullscreen instead, and nobody needs a phone at all.
3. Start, and stop when you are done
Billed by the second while the session runs, from a pay-as-you-go balance. Pause it over a break and nothing is charged.
the session is saved as a transcript in both languages, exportable as text or subtitles.
Hear Vietnamese instead of reading it
The live interpreter speaks the translation aloud in a natural voice, a few seconds behind the speaker. Listeners scan a QR code and hear it in their headphones, up to 20 per session.
Pay only for what you use
Top up once. Credits never expire. No subscription. One wallet for transcription, scans and captions.
New accounts get 15 free minutes to try - credits work for scans and captions too.
Frequently asked questions
Which Vietnamese does it translate into?
Standard written Vietnamese with full diacritics, the register a newspaper or a subtitle track uses. It reads naturally to speakers from both the north and the south; it is written Vietnamese rather than regional speech.
Do the diacritics come out right on a phone?
Yes. The subtitles are plain Unicode text, so tone marks render correctly in any modern browser, and the exported transcript keeps them. A missing diacritic changes the word in Vietnamese, which is exactly why the translation is written rather than transliterated.
Do people need to install anything?
No. You share a link, usually as a QR code on the screen or printed in the bulletin. It opens in a browser, needs no account, and each reader sets their own text size.
What makes it struggle?
Overlapping speakers, a large hall with heavy echo, or audio picked up from a distant loudspeaker. One speaker at a time on a microphone, or audio taken from the sound desk, is where it is most accurate.
What does an hour cost?
Billed by the second from a pay-as-you-go balance, from $0.83 per hour - the same credits as file transcription. An hour-long service or meeting is roughly a dollar.
Can the subtitles spell names right and translate terms my way?
Yes. Open Glossary before you start and add names and terms, plus translations into Vietnamese written as term = translation, such as a job title or a product name the way your audience says it. The subtitles use them from the first sentence, and you can edit the list during the session.
