Earshot — free Discord translation, no limits

Translates Discord messages on your own device using Chrome's built-in AI. No quotas, no account, no cloud, genuinely free.

Everyone's talking. Now you can hear them. Earshot translates messages as they arrive, right on your own computer. No daily limit, no account, no cloud service, nothing sent anywhere. If you have ever sat quietly in a server because everyone was speaking a language you do not read, this is for you. And if you are the one whose English is not confident enough to jump in, Pro is for you too, because it lets you say something back. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FREE, FOREVER, ON DISCORD ✓ Unlimited translation on Discord. Not 200 a day, not 50 an hour. No cap at all, permanently. ✓ No account, no sign up, no card, no trial timer. ✓ Appearance controls with a live preview, so translations look like part of the chat rather than a grey slab. ✓ Skip languages you already read. ✓ Switch Earshot off in servers where you do not need it. That tier is not crippled to sell you the other one. Discord was the reason I built this and it stays exactly as good as it is. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHY THERE IS NO LIMIT Read the reviews of the alternatives and you find the same three complaints: a daily cap nobody mentioned, a paywall appearing mid conversation, and the thing quietly breaking. That is not stinginess, it is arithmetic. They all send your messages to a cloud translation service that charges them per call, so every user is a running cost and rationing you is the only way the sums work. Earshot uses the translator Chrome now ships inside the browser itself. The model downloads once and lives on your machine. No cost per message means no limit on messages. Unlimited here is not generosity, there is simply nothing to ration. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ EARSHOT PRO — £5.99 ONCE One payment. Not monthly. No expiry. No subscription. ✦ SAY IT BACK. Type your message in your own language, press the shortcut, and see it in theirs before you send. It never sends for you and it never touches your typing unless you ask. ✦ EVERY OTHER SITE. Reddit, X, Telegram Web and WhatsApp Web, working exactly as it does on Discord. ✦ SAVED PHRASES. The lines you type constantly, kept and ready with one click. ✦ WHAT WAS SAID EARLIER. A local history of recent translations, so you can find what someone said twenty minutes ago without scrolling the whole channel. ✦ A LANGUAGE PER SERVER. A Japanese server into English, a Spanish one into something else. Each remembers its own. ✦ EVERY SITE ADDED IN FUTURE, at no extra cost. There is a refund if it does not work for you. Just email me. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ THE PROMISES The original stays put. Translations appear underneath the message, never over the top of it. Machine translation gets things wrong, and plenty of people here are learning the language, so hiding the original would be taking something away. Your typing is yours. Earshot reads the conversation and never touches your message box or your slash commands. That complaint appears in every competitor's reviews and it will never appear in mine. Code stays code. Code blocks, inline code, links, mentions, custom emoji and slash commands are left completely alone. Half of Discord is dev servers and a translated code block is worse than no translation at all. Nothing leaves your computer. Translation is entirely on device, on both tiers. The only network request Earshot ever makes is a single licence check, once, if you buy Pro. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ON A MAC The reply shortcut is Alt on Windows and Linux, and the Option key on a Mac. The popup shows whichever applies to you rather than telling you to press a key that is not on your keyboard. If the combo clashes with something you use, pick a different one. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT YOU NEED, HONESTLY Chrome 138 or newer, on desktop. These browser APIs do not exist on phones or tablets yet. Roughly 22GB free disk space, which is Chrome's requirement rather than mine. A one time language pack download the first time you meet a new language, then it works offline. Around 39 languages, which is Chrome's current list and grows over time. If your setup cannot do it, Earshot tells you plainly the moment you open it rather than installing happily and doing nothing. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Made by a computer science student who spent too long as the quiet one in servers she could not read.
