Dolmi is a German English translator that works in real time and in both directions: face to face with a phone on the table, in video calls, and for text, audio and video files. At the table, whoever wants to talk taps “I’ll speak” first. Dolmi also translates German with Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil) and French.

Four ways

What would you like to do?

The app starts with the same question. Whether it’s the flat viewing, the parents’ evening or the weekly call with a client in Munich, Dolmi helps you talk with people who speak German. Only the voice in a call needs a one-time setup; everything else works straight away.

  • Face-to-face conversation

    • Phone
    • no setup

    Your phone lies on the table between you, with the top half turned towards the other person. Whoever wants to talk taps “I’ll speak” on their half first. Dolmi says the translation out loud and shows it in large text.

  • Understand a call

    • Phone
    • PC or Mac
    • no setup

    Put your phone next to your laptop: it listens to the call and shows subtitles. On a computer it also works without a phone: share the tab or screen with audio and read along in a floating window.

  • Speak in a call

    • PC or Mac
    • set up once

    You speak English and the others hear German, in an AI voice. For this, you set up a virtual cable on your computer once. Dolmi guides you step by step and checks it with a test tone.

    Translate a file

    More about files

60 seconds of conversation or live translation are free, no payment needed. With files, you see the first sentences of the translation before you pay.

In a call

Live translator for video calls, both ways.

For real-time voice translation in Zoom, Teams or Meet, Dolmi has two ways. Use both at the same time, or just one.

Speak in a call · you → the others

You speak, they hear German.

  • Dolmi listens to your microphone and sends the spoken translation into the call through a virtual cable.
  • The others hear an AI voice, not your own.
  • PC or Mac only: you set up the cable (VB-Cable or BlackHole, both free) once. Dolmi shows you how and checks the connection with a test tone.
How the voice in a call works

Understand a call · the others → you

They speak German, you read English.

  • On your phone: put it next to your laptop and Dolmi listens through its microphone. The call has to play through the speakers for this.
  • On a computer: share the tab or the screen with audio, and the subtitles appear in a window above the call app.
  • On a Mac, the browser only shares the audio of a tab: use Google Meet, or Zoom and Teams in the browser.
Subtitles in detail

The voice works in any app that lets you choose a microphone.

  • Zoom
  • Microsoft Teams
  • Google Meet
  • Webex
  • Discord

The path of your voice

This is how the translation gets into the call.

  1. You speak Englishinto your headset microphone
  2. Dolmi in the browsertranslates into the others’ language in about 1 to 3 seconds
  3. Virtual cableVB-Cable or BlackHole, set up once and checked with a test tone
  4. Zoom, Teams, Meetwith the cable as the microphone
  5. They hear Germanlike in any other call

Subtitles take the opposite route: the phone next to your laptop listens to the call, or on a computer you share the audio with Dolmi, for example a browser tab. You read the translation on your phone or in the floating window.

Translate a file

Upload a file, listen to the translation.

A voice message from your landlord in German, or an interview you need in English? Type a text or upload an audio or video file. Dolmi translates it into English or German and reads the translation aloud in one of six voices.

  • MP3 with the spoken translation
  • Translated text to copy and edit
  • SRT subtitles with the timing of the original, for your own video
  • Before you pay, you see the length, the cost and the first sentences of the translation

Questions

Before you start.

The most important answers. You’ll find the rest on the FAQ page.

See all questions
How long until I hear the translation?

Live and in a conversation, expect a delay of about 1 to 3 seconds. Short pauses between sentences make the translation easier to follow.

Which languages does Dolmi translate?

English and German, in both directions. Also German ↔ Spanish, German ↔ Portuguese (Brazil) and German ↔ French. In a conversation, whoever wants to talk taps “I’ll speak” on their half of the screen first. In a call, the way you choose sets the direction: subtitles translate into your language, the voice into the language of the others. Everything about the pair is on the German English translator page.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes, for face-to-face conversations, for subtitles with the phone next to your laptop, and for text and files. Sending your translated voice into a call app only works on a PC or Mac, because a phone browser can’t use a virtual microphone.

What does it cost to try?

Nothing. The first 60 seconds of conversation or live translation are free, no payment needed. Subscriptions and packs from CHF 4.90 will be available soon.

Does the translation sound like my voice?

No. Dolmi speaks in one of six AI voices. Your own voice isn’t copied.

Can I cancel the subscription?

Yes, any time, for the end of the current month. If you’d rather not subscribe, buy a pack: it’s valid for 12 months and doesn’t renew.
