for French speakers on English-speaking teams
Verli is an English to French voice translator for Zoom, Teams and Google Meet calls: it listens to the English and shows the French translation under each line as people talk. It runs in your browser or in the Mac and Windows apps, and nothing joins the call.
add your acronyms before the call
1.
Open Audio source and turn on Desktop audio. The Mac app hears all sound playing on your Mac, so the Zoom or Teams app works. On Windows, choose any screen when recording starts, and Verli hears all sound on the PC. In the browser, a share window opens when you start. Pick the Chrome tab with the call, or Entire Screen for a desktop call app, then turn on Share audio. Mac browsers often cannot share system audio, so on a Mac use the Mac app for a desktop Zoom or Teams call. Keep Microphone on if you will speak, and wear headphones.
2.
Open Choose Languages and pick English for Language 1 and French for Language 2. Then open Assistant, turn on Knowledge base, and list the project names, acronyms and product terms people will say. Changes apply to the next recording, so do this before the call starts.
3.
Start recording when the call starts. Each English line appears with its French translation right under it. Speakers are numbered. To hide the English, open View settings and set Show to Translated. Press A+ there for bigger text. Stop recording when the call ends.
Put terms like CRM, SKU or your product's name under Words to recognize. Use Preferred translations to tell Verli how a phrase should come out in French, for example go-live as mise en production. Save it as a preset and it follows your account to your other computers.
In the Mac and Windows apps, turn on Float translation above other apps. A small window keeps the latest French line and the recording controls on top. You can watch a shared screen in Teams and still read along.
On Standard and Premium, the Mac and Windows apps can read the French translation aloud. It plays on your own speakers or headphones, never into the call. Use headphones, so your call microphone does not pick up the French voice.
On Standard and Premium, copy a live share link so a colleague can follow in a browser with no account. They see English and French and can switch to French only. The shared data is deleted after 24 hours.
Many people who use Verli for this pair are French speakers on teams that work in English. They include IT staff in weekly status meetings and support calls, and teams rolling out new software with an outside vendor. Everyday English is easy enough for them. The trouble is acronyms, ticket names and product terms, which speech tools often get wrong.
Verli always translates both ways between the two languages you pick. It detects which language each person is speaking. When a colleague switches to French, that line shows in French with the English under it. Calls that jump between the two languages mid-sentence are harder to follow. Keep the original line visible, and check it when a French line reads oddly. Double-check numbers, dates, ticket IDs and anything you will act on.
Minutes count the whole time recording is on, including silence, so stop recording when each call ends. The 60 minutes you get upon sign-up, with no credit card, cover about one long status meeting. Standard is $7.99 per month for 10 hours. A one-hour weekly meeting plus a 15-minute support call every workday comes to about 9.5 to 10 hours a month, right at that limit. Premium is $19.99 per month for the same 10 hours, plus more natural voice translation. Members on either plan can add 5-hour or 10-hour minute packs for months when calls run long. Prices are in USD.
Verli is the wrong tool for some jobs. For a short face-to-face chat on the street, a phone translation app with a conversation mode fits better. If you want an English audio file dubbed with a French voice, use a dubbing tool. For typed text, a text translator is faster. It also does not work with translator earbuds, since Verli is software only.
The translation shows only on your screen. The other people in the call see nothing unless you send them a live share link, which comes with Standard and Premium. If you speak English and want French speakers to follow you, that link is the way: they read your words in French in their browser, with no account. To try English to French on your own voice first, the free Live Voice Translator works for up to 3 minutes with no account. If you record other people, get their consent where the law, your employer or the meeting host requires it.
Sign in to Verli in your browser or in the Mac or Windows app, turn on Desktop audio, and set English and French as your two languages. Verli writes out what people say in English and puts the French translation under each line as they talk. Nothing joins the call, so it works in meetings you do not host.
You get 60 minutes upon sign-up with no credit card. That is enough to try it on one real meeting. After that, Standard is $7.99 per month for 10 hours. For a quick test with no account, the free Live Voice Translator translates your microphone for up to 3 minutes.
Yes. Verli listens to the sound your computer plays, so the meeting app does not matter. The Mac app needs macOS 14.2 or later. The Windows app needs 64-bit Windows 10 version 2004 or later. In the browser, desktop audio works best in Chrome.
It is AI translation, so it can make mistakes. Verli does not promise a level of accuracy. Word choices such as tu or vous may not match what a French speaker would pick. Treat the French as a guide to meaning, and check the English line when tone or a number matters. Verli is not a human English to French interpreter, so do not rely on it alone for contracts, legal or medical conversations.
Yes. Read aloud does this in the Mac and Windows apps on Standard and Premium. The French plays only on your own speakers or headphones, and Verli never sends it into the call. Wear headphones so your microphone does not pick it up. The web app has no Read aloud.
The free audio translator handles the first 3 minutes of up to two files a day, with no account. It gives you a written transcript and its translation. You can also play a video on your computer and follow it live in Verli. Verli does not dub files with a French voice.
Verli's phone apps are coming soon. For a short face-to-face chat, a phone app such as Google Translate fits better. For long Zoom, Teams or Google Meet calls, use Verli in your browser or in the Mac and Windows apps.
Start with 60 minutes upon sign-up, no credit card. Set up your project terms first, then start recording.
