WhatsApp Web Translator

No. The message translation WhatsApp launched in 2025 is only in the mobile app and only translates the messages you receive. TapScriber adds it to WhatsApp Web and also translates your replies before you send them. We explain it in Does WhatsApp have a translator?.

Yes. You can try it without an account with 30 translations and 5 minutes of voice (voice messages and dictation). A free account, with no card or password, gives you 300 translations and 30 minutes of voice every month. If you need more, Pro has unlimited translations and 5 hours of voice a month (voice messages and dictation) for €5.99 a month or €39.99 a year, VAT included.

TapScriber detects each chat's language and remembers it, so translating takes one click, on a message you receive or on your draft. By default you review the translation before sending. Turn on automatic mode and pressing Enter, the send button or finishing a dictation sends it translated. TapScriber never sends anything unless you send it. We explain how this differs from the phone's auto translate in WhatsApp auto translate.

No. By default you review the translation before sending. Turn on automatic mode and pressing Enter, the send button or finishing a dictation sends it translated. TapScriber never sends anything unless you send it. You can edit the translation before sending, and automatic mode is off by default.

No. Only the message you tap Translate on, or the draft you choose to translate, gets translated. That text is sent to our server only to translate it and is not stored.

25 languages and variants: Spanish (Spain, Mexico, Argentina and Colombia), English (US and UK), Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), French (France and Canada), German, Italian, Dutch, Catalan, Turkish, Arabic, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Romanian, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Hindi.

Chrome, Edge, Brave and other Chromium-based browsers on desktop. It works on WhatsApp Web (web.whatsapp.com), not on the mobile app. The setup, step by step, is in how to translate WhatsApp Web messages.

Yes, as long as you open your WhatsApp Business account on WhatsApp Web (web.whatsapp.com). TapScriber works the same as with a personal account.

Yes. Serve customers from other countries with WhatsApp Business (on WhatsApp Web): every chat remembers its customer's language, you read their messages and voice notes translated under the original, and you reply by typing or dictating in your language. You review each reply before sending it, or turn on automatic mode to go faster. If you handle lots of chats, Pro has unlimited translations.

For chatting, yes. With a regular translator it takes 7 steps per message (copy, switch tabs, paste, write, copy, go back and paste). With TapScriber it takes 2 and you never leave the chat. Plus, the original stays in view and every chat remembers its language. We compare every method in how to use Google Translate with WhatsApp.

Yes. Under every voice message you receive there's a "Transcribe & translate" button: you'll see what it says in your language and, below, the original transcript. You don't have to play it. If WhatsApp hasn't loaded the audio yet, TapScriber loads it muted and tells you WhatsApp will mark it as played. Voice messages have their own quota in minutes, separate from translations.

Yes. In chats in another language you'll see "Dictate" above the message box. Tap it, speak in your language and tap Done. TapScriber shows you what you said and the translation into your contact's language, and it's sent when you tap "Send translation" (with automatic mode on, tapping Done sends it translated). The microphone is only used while you dictate. Each dictation can last up to 2 minutes and uses the same minutes as voice messages.

Without an account you get 5 minutes to try it, for voice messages up to 3 minutes long. A free account gives you 30 minutes a month, for voice messages up to 3 minutes long. Pro gives you 5 hours a month, for voice messages up to 10 minutes long. Dictation comes out of the same minutes (up to 2 minutes per dictation). We count the seconds of each voice message, even if it's already in your language, because transcribing it has a cost. If the transcription fails, it doesn't count.

Free account translations and voice minutes renew every month. If you don't want to wait, you can go Pro, with unlimited translations and 5 hours of voice a month for voice messages and dictation.

Yes, anytime and with no commitment, from the customer portal in your account. You keep Pro until the end of the period you've paid for and won't be charged again.
