How it works
How do you translate a Catalan recording into English?
To translate Catalan audio to English, drop the recording on this page. It is transcribed as Catalan in short pieces, then each line is translated into English and keeps its time. Read the English, and switch to Original for the Catalan wording.

Does the English get the Catalan past tense right?
Yes, in our test. Catalan often forms the past with va plus a verb, which looks like “go” to an outsider, and the translation read it correctly: “un silenci va cobrir la ciutat” became “a silence covered the city”. The literary fou (“fou acomiadat”) became “was dismissed”.
Why does the English add “he” or “she”?
Because Catalan can drop the subject and English can’t. “Ha perdut recentment contra Raonic” names nobody; the English wrote “He has recently lost to Raonic”. In a conversation the surrounding lines usually settle who it is; when they don’t, check the recording.
- Ha perdut recentment contra Raonic a l’Open de Brisbane.
- EnglishHe has recently lost to Raonic at the Brisbane Open.
- Exactament a les 8:46 del matí un silenci va cobrir la ciutat…
- EnglishExactly at 8:46 a.m., a silence covered the city…
- Piquet Jr. fou acomiadat després del Gran Premi d’Hongria del 2009.
- EnglishPiquet Jr. was dismissed after the 2009 Hungarian Grand Prix.

How well does spoken Catalan come through?
Very well. Catalan was among the most cleanly transcribed languages in our test, and its speech came out strong in English. Times move to English style: “a les 8:46 del matí” became “8:46 a.m.”.
What should you check in the English?
Names, mostly. English or foreign names said in Catalan are written by sound, so Addenbrooke came back as Adenbrook in our transcription test, and a misheard word is translated as misheard. Everyday Catalan comes through cleanly.
Meetings in Spanish or English as well?
NoteOwl understands Spanish and English on your Mac, though not Catalan: it transcribes recordings and meetings with unlimited transcription, labels each speaker and keeps everything searchable. For a Catalan transcript without translation, use Catalan audio to text.
FAQ
Questions about translating Catalan audio into English
Is the Catalan to English audio translator free?
Yes. 3 recordings a day, the first 30 minutes of each, with no account; the English, the Catalan transcript and every download are included.
Does it understand Valencian and Balearic Catalan?
The page listens for Catalan as one language, so Valencian and Balearic speech is transcribed as Catalan before it is translated. Our transcription test even kept the Balearic word tomàtiga as it was said.
What if the speakers switch to Spanish?
This page writes every part as Catalan first. For a meeting that moves between Catalan and Spanish, use the main audio translator with the spoken language on Detect automatically.
Can I get the Catalan transcript too?
Yes. Switch the result to Original to read the Catalan, with the same times as the English, and save it as text or SRT.
Does it say who is speaking?
No. The English transcript has words and times only. NoteOwl on a Mac labels each speaker in the transcripts it makes.
Is my recording uploaded?
No. Your browser reads it and sends short pieces of the sound to a cloud AI transcription service, then the Catalan text to a cloud AI translation service; each discards what it was sent. NoteOwl stores nothing.
