Say your words in another language

Paste in what you want to say and list the languages you want it in, then run it. Each language is translated in turn, the translation is spoken by an ElevenLabs voice, and you are emailed one message per language with the translated text to read and the spoken version attached as an audio file you can play or hand on.

You end up with one email per language, each stating which language was asked for and which language your original was read as, and carrying both the translation and your original text so anything the voice says can be checked against the words it was given. The audio is always spoken from the translation, never from your original: a language that comes back untranslated is skipped and counted rather than read out in the wrong language. If no audio file is produced, no email goes out for that language, so you never get a message promising an attachment that is not there. One language failing does not stop the rest.
