The Problem

Language barriers cost you opportunities.

You skip the Japanese podcast everyone's talking about. You stay quiet in multilingual meetings. You miss what your international colleagues actually mean.

Translation apps exist, but they break your flow. Copy, paste, wait, switch tabs, repeat.

VoiceLeap works invisibly, across your entire Mac.

How It Works

Three ways to break through.

Listen

Listen

Understand anyone

Watch YouTube in Japanese. Join meetings in Korean. Listen to podcasts in Spanish. VoiceLeap captures any audio on your Mac and translates it in real-time.

Choose your experience:

  • Subtitles only — see translations while hearing the original
  • Full translation — hear everything in your language

Speak

Speak

Be understood by everyone

Present to a Japanese team. Teach international students. Broadcast to foreign viewers. Speak naturally in your language — they hear you in theirs.

Output options:

  • Natural AI voice — clear, professional output
  • Virtual microphone — route to Zoom, Meet, Teams

Conversation

Conversation

Two-way, real-time

True multilingual meetings. You speak English, they hear Japanese. They speak Japanese, you hear English. No interpreters. No delays. Just conversation.

Private by default

FAQ

Questions? Answered.

How is this different from Google Translate?

VoiceLeap works system-wide in real-time. No copy-pasting. No tab switching. It translates audio as it plays, across any app on your Mac.

Is my audio sent to the cloud?

No. All speech recognition and translation happens locally on your Mac using built-in macOS intelligence. Your conversations stay private.

How many languages does VoiceLeap support?

VoiceLeap currently supports 10 major languages with 30+ regional locales, all processed locally on your Mac. More languages will be added in the future.

Which Macs are supported?

Any Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or later) running macOS 26.2+. Intel Macs are not supported due to on-device AI requirements.

Can I use it for live meetings?

Yes. VoiceLeap creates a virtual microphone that Zoom, Meet, and Teams recognize as your input device. You speak English, they receive Japanese (or any supported language).

What's the difference between Standard and Standard Lifetime?

Both plans include the exact same features — unlimited translation, all modes, all languages. The only difference is billing: Standard is $29/year, Standard Lifetime is a one-time $79 payment with free updates forever.

Your Mac, now fluent in 10 major languages.
