Real-time voice translation,
Loquora listens while you speak. Once it understands a clear part of a long sentence, it can start translating without waiting for you to finish everything.
< 1 sec
The translation usually starts in under one second once Loquora has heard enough words to understand part of the thought.
Short answer
How fast does translation feel now?
Loquora usually starts the translation in under one second once it has heard enough words to understand part of the thought. For a short phrase, that often happens after a natural pause. During a longer phrase, translation can begin before the speaker finishes everything.
Loquora listens while you speak and looks for a point where one part of the thought is clear. It does not react to every tiny pause, but it also does not keep a long monologue waiting until the very end.
Most translations start quickly, but some can take longer depending on the call.
How it works
Translation moves with the conversation.
Loquora handles speech as it arrives instead of waiting for a complete recording.
- 1
Loquora listens while you speak
Your words are processed as you say them. There is no need to record the whole phrase first.
- 2
It finds a clear part of the thought
A short pause is considered together with the words around it, so the translation does not cut you off too early.
- 3
That part is translated
As soon as one part is clear enough, Loquora can translate it without waiting for the rest of a long phrase.
- 4
The translation reaches the call
The other person hears your translated speech. You can read their reply as translated subtitles or turn on spoken translation.
What changes the delay
Sometimes translation can take a little longer.
A live call depends on your internet, computer, microphone and the words being spoken. Any of them can affect how quickly the translation starts.
- Internet connection
- A slow or unstable connection can delay sound on the way to Loquora and back to the call.
- Language and sentence
- Some languages and phrases need a few more words before the meaning becomes clear.
- A busy computer
- Heavy applications running at the same time can slow down sound processing.
- Speech and sound quality
- Noise, people talking over each other or a poor microphone signal can make speech harder to understand.
Measurement
Why there are no detailed charts yet
Older measurements counted the wait after a person had finished the whole phrase. Loquora now starts working with clear parts of a long phrase before it ends, so those old numbers no longer describe the current experience.
We do not want to mix measurements from two different versions. We will add a new detailed report after enough calls have been measured in the same way with the current version.
For now, “usually under one second” is a simple description of everyday use, not a promise that every translation will always arrive within one second.
FAQ
Questions about Loquora latency
Is every translation delivered in under one second?
No. Most translations start in under one second, but a slow connection, a busy computer, background noise or a difficult phrase can make some parts take longer.
When does Loquora start translating?
Loquora starts when it has heard enough words to understand one clear part of the thought. It does not always wait for the end of a long sentence or monologue.
What happens when I speak for a long time without stopping?
Loquora can divide a long phrase into several natural parts and translate them one after another. A tiny pause does not necessarily cut the phrase.
Will I see translated subtitles before I hear them?
Sometimes. Text can appear first because Loquora needs a little more time to create and play the spoken version.
How can I make translation faster?
Use a stable connection, close heavy programs you do not need, select the correct microphone and speak clearly. Some languages and sentences can still take a little longer.
How should I evaluate latency for my setup?
Try a real call with the language pair, device and application you normally use. That reflects your experience better than a single universal number.
