# Speech to Text Translation in Lara

## Convert your spoken words into translated text with Lara

Lara provides a built-in **speech-to-text** feature that allows you to dictate text using your voice and instantly receive a translated version. You can also use **text-to-speech** functionality to listen to the translated output. This is particularly useful for hands-free translation, language learning, and accessibility.

### **How to Use Speech-to-Text and Text-to-Speech in Lara**

1. **Activate Speech-to-Text:** Click on the **microphone icon** located at the bottom left of the text input box. Speak clearly, and Lara will transcribe your speech into text.
2. **Automatic Language Detection:** Lara will automatically detect the language you are speaking. If needed, you can manually select the source language from the dropdown menu above the input box.
3. **Translate the Text:** Once the spoken text appears in the input box, Lara will automatically translate it into your chosen target language.
4. **Listen to the translated text (Text-to-Speech):** To hear the translated text, click the **speaker icon** in the translation box (bottom right). Lara will read out the translation in a natural-sounding voice.
