Hello
Bonjour
How much is it?
Combien ça coûte ?
Where is…?
Où se trouve… ?
Mingle gives you English to French voice translation for real speaking conversations: your spoken English becomes live French speech and captions. When the French speaker answers, swap the languages from the session menu to hear and read their reply in English; the swap starts a new session with a cleared screen, so tap the mic once more and exchanges at a café, a clinic or a client call keep moving.

Perfect for real conversations
French carries nuance in every greeting: the difference between addressing a shopkeeper in Paris and a nurse in Montréal can change pronouns, formality, and even how gratitude sounds. Mingle transforms your English speech into live French captions and spoken output so francophone listeners hear their language; when it is their turn, a quick swap lets you read what they say in English on the same phone.
The gare information desk
You explain a missed connection in English and the agent hears it in French. When they reply in fast metropolitan French, a swap in the language menu turns the reply into English captions, so platform numbers and refund steps are clear before you sprint for the alternate train.
The Québec medical intake
You describe your medications in English and the room hears natural spoken French. For the nurse's history questions in French, swap the languages first so the new session shows them in English; signed-in users keep the two directions as separate history entries.
The vineyard tasting tour
You ask the guide technical questions about fermentation in English; your translated French plays aloud while they read captions. When the guide describes terroir in French, swap the languages to follow in English, so the group stays engaged instead of waiting for a bilingual friend to summarize.

Clean, accurate French captions as you speak.

Just talk
Words appear as live captions and — with Read Aloud on — are spoken into your earbuds as natural voice, while your phone faces the other person. Talking both ways? Share the session to their phone.
The earbud moment: they talk to your phone, you hear your language
Set your phone on the table facing them and turn on Read aloud. Their voice goes into your phone’s mic; the translation plays quietly in your earbuds. Private, hands-free, no shouting into a gadget.
Any wired or Bluetooth earbuds your phone uses should work, because read-aloud plays through the phone’s normal audio output. If your phone switches to the earbuds’ microphone, choose the built-in mic under Devices so it hears them, not you.
Want them to hear you too? Tap Share session and show them the QR code: they join on their own phone in their own language, so each of you reads and hears the other without passing anything back and forth. On one phone, swap the languages from the session menu to reply instead.
What makes French different
European and Canadian French diverge in vocabulary and accent; African francophone contexts add regional expressions that textbooks rarely list. Mingle is built for spoken dialogue at natural pace, showing French clearly in captions, while a swapped session turns their French into English so you can confirm intent before you commit to a yes or no. Read-aloud helps reception desks and taxi lines where the listener may not have reading glasses handy.
Anglophones gain confidence when they treat the caption strip as a negotiation space: your French output appears for the other person to validate, and after a swap their French becomes English for you before you answer. That visibility matters around medical dosages, train platforms, and contract clauses where a polite nod is not enough.
This page covers English → French specifically
Whether you are presenting at a Lyon supplier meeting, ordering in a Brussels bistro, or helping a family member at a Dakar clinic, you should not need to rehearse scripted phrases before every interaction. Open the browser, tap the mic, and speak naturally. Mingle streams recognition across conversational speed and renders French left-to-right in the caption pane with optional read-aloud through the phone or your earbuds.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about English to French translation.
Does Mingle distinguish European and Canadian French in output?
Mingle targets natural spoken French and displays captions you can both check. Your counterpart's accent and vocabulary may reflect their region; swap the languages when they speak, and the English on screen lets you confirm before replying.
Can I hear French translations privately through earbuds?
Yes. Read-aloud plays through the phone's current audio output, so with Bluetooth or wired earbuds connected it stays in your ears while your listener reads French captions on the shared screen; without them it plays from the phone speaker.
Is formal French supported for business meetings?
Mingle handles conversational French at natural speed. For high-stakes negotiations, use captions to validate phrasing and adjust your English toward clearer directness when needed.
Is English to French available without creating an account?
Guest sessions start instantly in the browser with no card required. Sign in when you want saved history and longer monthly usage on paid plans.
Can Mingle translate English to French by voice, not just text?
Yes. Mingle is built for spoken conversation. You speak English and hear and read French in real time. To hear French speech as English, swap the languages from the session menu, which starts a new session in that direction. It works in any phone browser with nothing to install, and the other person needs nothing at all if the phone sits between you; if you are signed in, you can also share the session so they join from their own phone.
Do both people need the app?
No. Everything runs in the browser. For a conversation both ways, tap Share session and show the QR code: they join on their own phone in their language, with no app and no account. On one shared phone, a session translates one direction, and you swap the languages from the session menu when they reply.
Is Mingle free to try for this language pair?
Yes — start instantly with free guest sessions, no card and no install. Paid plans unlock longer sessions and saved history.
