### Transcription & AI Voice Translator
The **Transcription** tab is where the **AI Voice Translator** comes to life. Language barriers shouldn't get in the way of a good meeting. The AI Voice Translator transcribes what each speaker says and translates it in real time — so everyone in the room can follow along in their own language.
When a speaker has AI Translator enabled, their speech is automatically transcribed and translated into each listener's preferred language — and it all appears here, in real time. You'll see each speaker's name alongside their words, displayed in your chosen language. If the meeting is multilingual, each participant sees translations tailored to their own language setting.
> Anyone in the meeting can be a speaker — not just the host. As long as both the speaker and the listener have enabled AI Transcription before joining, the translation will come through.
{% hint style="warning" icon="sparkle" %}
The AI Voice Translator is a paid feature. It uses **1 AI credit per minute** while active. You can check your available credits on the [**Plan & Billing**](/plans-and-billing/plans-and-pricing.md) page. Free plan users get 30 credits per month to get started.
{% endhint %}
#### How it works
Each person in the meeting sets their own language preferences:
* The **speaker** selects the language they're speaking in
* Each **listener** selects the language they want to read translations in
> For translations to work correctly, **both the speaker and the listener need to enable AI Transcription before joining the meeting.** If either side hasn't turned it on, the translation won't come through.
#### How to enable
* **Before joining** — on the Meeting Preview screen, turn on AI Translator and select your language.
* **During a meeting** — tap the **three-dot menu (···)** in the bottom toolbar → toggle on **AI Translator** → choose your language from the dropdown.
You can turn the translator off at any time the same way — just toggle it back off. Credits stop being charged the moment it's disabled.
{% hint style="success" %}
The AI Voice Translator is available in both **group meetings** and **one-on-one calls** — the setup is exactly the same either way.
{% endhint %}
#### Where to read translations
Open the **Chat panel** → switch to the **Transcription** tab. You'll see each speaker's words translated into your chosen language in real time.
