Voice translation in any app
Select French text in Excel. Press Fn. Say "translate to English". Cue replaces the selection with the English. No copy-paste to Google Translate, no app switch, no losing the cell context.
Existing translators ask you to leave your work. Cue translates where you are.

FAQ
How many languages does Cue translate?
Cue translates between 100+ languages on input/output. The model is Gemini Flash or Claude Sonnet — both support all major languages including all major Asian languages.
Voice translate vs DeepL / Google Translate?
DeepL/Google are great translation apps. Cue is voice → action — you stay in your app, the translation happens in place. Cue's wedge: context-aware (knows you are in Excel cell vs Slack message and adjusts).
Can Cue translate while preserving formatting?
For plain text yes. For complex formatting (bold/italic, tables), preservation works in apps with structured copy-paste; falls back to plain text in others.
Does Cue translate offline?
No, translation requires cloud LLM access. But the 5-layer context detection works offline — only the translation API call needs internet.
They hear what you said.
Cue sees what you're doing.
And does the thing, in any app.
