Passthrough

Overview

Passthrough mixes your own voice into the virtual microphone under the translation, so the other side hears your original voice quietly beneath the translated one.

1Switch it on

In Settings, in the Speech block (Quick settings, or Advanced on the Audio tab), switch on Passthrough, the row under Translation the other side hears. Set its volume with the slider, from 0% to 60% (Volume 20% by default). You can change both during a session.

Switch it on

Tips

  • Keep the volume low, so that the translation stays easy to follow.
  • It only matters when the other side hears you through the virtual microphone: in Me or Both mode, with Translation the other side hears on. Otherwise the row is greyed and silent.
  • With providers that offer Push-to-Translate, that mode manages passthrough by itself.
  • Passthrough is not offered face-to-face, where the other person hears your own voice in the room.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I want this?

Hearing your real voice, even quietly, helps the other side follow who is speaking and your tone.
