We're working hard to make Breeze as easy and reliable as possible. Below are some trouble shooting and bug reporting tips that you may find useful if things aren't working perfectly. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you need anything whatsoever!

Breeze Translate and the underlying services we use are sometimes not available through school WiFi networks.
To fix this issue, you can ask your network administrator to allow access (whitelist) the following domains:
breeze-translate.com
deepgram.com
Alternatively, you can use a mobile device as a hotspot. Breeze requires about 100MB per hour for the transcription (receiving of translations is much much lower).
The audio output — speaking the translation — is only in the beta stage of development. We have made the feature available for the cases where it works, but we cannot guarantee that it will work consistently across all devices and languages. Our approach is as always to use economical technologies to make a useful and affordable service, and as such we are not at this stage implementing the state of the art speech output, in favour of a service that more churches will be able to afford to use.
Spoken output uses on-device speech-to-text software that is supplied with the device. As such, spoken output will only work where the relevant software is on the device.
Unfortunately, it is a known issue that languages such as Farsi are not well supported by on-device text to speech.
If you have any problems at all using Breeze Translate, please contact us on info@breezetranslate.com and we'd be really happy to help. Below is some useful information on how to make the most helpful bug report:
