Live khutbah translation
Balagh listens to the khutbah live and translates it for you, word for word, right from your seat. No setup at the masjid, no special equipment. Point your phone toward the khatib and start.

How it works
Choose what you want to read or hear. Arabic is the default spoken language, and you can change it for any speaker.
Tap Start listening. Balagh uses your phone's microphone from your seat. Nothing needs to be installed in the mosque.
Captions appear as the imam speaks. Prefer to listen? Turn on spoken translation and hear it quietly in your earphones.
What Balagh does
Built for the person sitting in the mosque who doesn't speak the khatib's language, and for everyone next to them.
Live captions appear on your screen as the imam speaks. Follow the sermon in real time instead of guessing or waiting for a summary afterwards.
Prefer listening? Turn on spoken audio and hear the translation quietly through your earphones while the khutbah continues.
When the khatib recites from the Qur'an, Balagh recognizes the verse and links it back to its surah and ayah, so you always know exactly what is being recited.
Every session is saved to your history, on your phone. Reread the full transcript later, search it, and share it with family and friends.
Show your room's QR code during a session. People next to you scan it and follow the translation on their own phone, in the browser, without an account. With Pro, each of them picks their own language.
Watching a lecture, a livestream or a video call? Balagh shows live subtitles floating over any app. Or pick a recording from your phone and get the full translation as a subtitled video.
35 languages
Translate into English, German, French, Spanish, Turkish, Urdu, Indonesian, Bengali, Persian, Swahili and 25 more. Arabic is the default spoken language, and you can choose another one for any speaker. With Pro, up to four people around you each read in their own language.

Into 35 languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, Turkish, Urdu, Indonesian, Bengali, Persian and Swahili. The khatib's spoken language is Arabic by default, and you can choose another one.
The translation is generated live by AI, sentence by sentence, as the khatib speaks. Recited Qur'an verses are recognized and shown with their surah and ayah, so the scripture itself is never guessed.

Yes. Balagh can show floating subtitles over any other app, for lectures, livestreams and video calls, and it translates recordings and videos from your phone into a subtitled video.

The audio is processed only to produce your translation and is not recorded on our servers. Your transcripts are stored on your own phone, in your history, and you can delete them anytime. The privacy policy has the details.
