Audio on your phone

Breeze shows captions by default. Spoken translation (text-to-speech) is off until you turn it on.

Tap the speaker button at the bottom of the live screen. When audio is off it says Turn audio on. Tap it again to turn audio off.

How audio works

• Spoken audio uses your phone’s built-in text-to-speech for most languages, or Breeze Custom voices for some languages where platform voices are limited.
• Reading captions is the main way most people follow along. Audio is optional and depends on your device and language.

To keep costs low, Breeze plays speech on your device for most languages. Voice quality depends on your phone — not every device sounds the same. See Audio output: get the best voices to improve it.

First tap on iPhone

Apple requires a tap before websites can play audio. Tap Turn audio on once; spoken translation can then play for the rest of your session.

Bluetooth headphones can delay audio — test with your phone speaker first if something seems wrong.

Audio quality feedback

After audio starts, Breeze may ask How is the audio quality? Tap happy or sad, or Give details to send feedback. This helps us improve voices for your language and device.

Get the best voices

Robotic or missing audio usually means your device needs a better voice pack installed. Follow the full step-by-step guide:

3. Revisit Audio output setup for your language.
