Korean to English translator Hangul in, English out

Korean puts the verb last and marks who is speaking to whom in the ending, so half a sentence tells you nothing. Record or paste it and read the English, then reply in English and send it back in Korean.

Hangul you don't have to type

Paste the message as it arrived or say it into the mic — no Korean keyboard involved.

  • Spoken Korean into English

    Record it and read the meaning a couple of seconds later

  • Paste Hangul directly

    Copy a KakaoTalk message or a web page line and read the English underneath

Answer without switching

English goes in and Korean comes out, playable aloud.

  • Both directions

    One saved thread carries the whole exchange

  • Topics kept

    Reopen the conversation when the reply arrives

Honorifics carried across

Korean endings encode respect and distance, which plain word lookup throws away.

  • Polite speech stays polite

    A formal request reads as one in English instead of sounding abrupt

  • Verb-final word order

    The full sentence is translated at once, so the ending is not lost

Or paste the text

A message, a listing, an email — paste the Korean and read the English.

  • Full messages

    A whole paragraph in one step

  • Copy the result

    Move the English into your notes or your reply

Why this beats a Hangul lookup tool

Sounding out Hangul letter by letter still doesn't tell you what was said.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about translating Korean into English.

Do I need a Korean keyboard?

No. Speak the sentence into the mic or paste the Hangul you were sent — nothing has to be typed by you.

Can it translate spoken Korean?

Yes. Record it and the English appears a couple of seconds after the person stops speaking.

Does it keep polite and casual speech apart?

The honorific level of the sentence is carried into the English, so a polite question does not come out sounding curt.

Can I reply in English?

Yes, your answer is translated into Korean in the same conversation and can be played aloud.

Are conversations saved?

Each is stored as a topic you can reopen, delete or clear whenever you want.

Is it free?

Yes, there is a free allowance without an account; signing in with Google raises the monthly quota and syncs your history.
