Echo, or hearing my own translation
If your words come back to you translated, the other phone's microphone is picking up the interpreter.
- 1
Hold the phone to your ear instead of using Speaker. The translation plays through the earpiece by default; speakerphone makes echo much more likely.
- 2
Even better, use earphones (wired or Bluetooth).
- 3
Ask the other person to do the same — echo usually starts on the phone that plays the translation out loud.
- 4
Set up your voice signature: it cuts any sound that is not your voice, including the interpreter.
- 5
Move away from TVs, radios and other people talking, and lower the volume a little.
Good to know
MyInterpreter also discards any phrase that repeats what the phone played in the last few seconds. Still hearing echo? Contact support and tell us both phone models.Still stuck?
