Listen in your language
Audio output is built into Breeze Translate. Most languages use high-quality voices on the listener's own phone; where devices fall short, Breeze Custom speech fills the gap. Open the client app, tap the speaker icon, and hear the translation while you stay present with everyone else in the room.

Many listeners follow the service by ear. In the Breeze Translate client app, they choose their language and turn on audio — ideal when reading on a small screen is awkward, when spoken word is more natural, or when they simply want to listen with headphones while worship continues around them.
You are still in the same space as everyone else. You can hear the room, the music, and the original speaker's tone and timing, while the translation plays in your language. That combination is what makes audio such a practical, welcoming option in a church setting.
On your phone, or powered by Breeze
We use two approaches so audio stays affordable for churches while reaching as many languages as possible.
How we deliver spoken translation
- On-device text-to-speech uses the listener's iPhone or Android voice engine. It works well for 70+ languages once the right voice pack is installed — no extra server cost for each sentence spoken.
- Breeze Custom is our own speech engine for languages where phone voices are weak, missing, or unreliable. It currently includes Persian (Farsi), Welsh, Georgian, Kazakh, Luxembourgish, Nepali, Swahili, Icelandic, and Serbian. These voices are still evolving; we welcome feedback from live services.
- For every other language in Breeze, check the languages table to see whether audio uses iOS and Android device voices or captions only.
A two-minute setup makes a big difference
If audio sounds robotic, the fix is almost always on the phone — not in Breeze. On iPhone, choose an Enhanced or Premium voice (not Siri). On Android, install offline voice data for your language via Speech Services by Google.
A short setup walkthrough covers iPhone, Android, Samsung, Google Pixel, and Xiaomi devices step by step.

Captions remain essential for deaf and hard-of-hearing members and are a brilliant option for language learners who read along while hearing the original speaker — much like subtitles in a film.
Many congregations use captions and audio together: captions for precision and accessibility, audio for listeners who prefer to hear the translation. Neither replaces the other; both are part of how Breeze Translate welcomes your whole church family.

Our languages page shows, for each language, whether audio is available via Breeze Custom, on iOS and Android, on Android only, or as captions only. If you are unsure before a service, check there first — then use the setup guide above to install the best voice on listeners' phones.
