Overview
A Python CLI tool that captures microphone input, transcribes it with the SpeechRecognition library, and translates the result on the fly into a selectable target language. Designed to fit into existing workflows, this build focuses on real production behavior rather than a polished demo.
The Problem
Most translation tools are text-first. You type before you translate. For language learners, accessibility use cases, or quick real-world translation, speaking is more natural than typing.
