About Sunte — Japanese → English
Sunte listens to spoken Japanese and shows the original beside a clean translation — live, in a tidy little popup. No tabs, no copy-paste.
Tap the mic and start speaking (or play any Japanese audio near your microphone). Sunte recognizes the Japanese in real time and translates each phrase the moment it's spoken.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
TRANSLATE INTO 3 LANGUAGES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Japanese → English
Japanese → 한국어 (Korean)
Japanese → 中文 (Chinese)
Switch the target language with one tap on the language pill, or set a default in Settings.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Real-time — recognition and translation stream as the speaker talks. No waiting for them to finish.
• Side-by-side — the Japanese original and your translation are paired and color-coded, so you never lose the thread.
• Continuous or single — keep listening through a whole video, or capture one phrase at a time.
• Private by default — recognition runs in your browser. Only text is sent for translation; audio is never recorded or stored.
• Light & dark — a calm, warm interface that's easy on the eyes.
• Confidence at a glance — a small meter shows how sure the recognition is.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
GREAT FOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Following Japanese videos, livestreams, and podcasts
• Lectures, meetings, and language practice
• Travel conversations and everyday listening
• Anyone learning Japanese who wants the original and the meaning together
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW IT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. Pin Sunte to your toolbar.
2. Click the icon and tap the mic. Allow microphone access once.
3. Read along — Japanese on top, your language below, as fast as it's spoken.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
TRANSLATION OPTIONS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Google (free) — works out of the box, no setup. Best for testing and light use.
• Cloud API (your key) — add a Google Cloud Translation API key in Settings for higher accuracy and reliability. Your key is stored locally on your device and used only to authenticate translation requests.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
PRIVACY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Sunte has no servers of its own and no account. It does not record or store audio, and it does not track you. Speech recognition is handled by your browser's built-in Web Speech API; recognized text is sent to your chosen translation provider only to translate it. Your settings stay on your device.

Note: Speech recognition and translation require an internet connection and work best in Google Chrome on desktop. Listening runs while the popup is open.
