Maximizing Zoom Sound for Wordly
Restore Zoom’s “Original Sound” audio setting to improve translation quality
To improve Wordly real-time translation quality in Zoom, enable Zoom Original Sound. Standard Zoom audio processing distorts speech patterns, which degrades real-time translation accuracy. Using Zoom Original Sound preserves the unprocessed audio signal and significantly improves Wordly translation quality across all languages.
To enable Zoom's Original Sound
- Start a Zoom meeting or join an existing one.
-
Once you’re in the meeting, navigate to Audio Settings and open.
-
In the "Settings" window, under "Audio Profile," select "Original sound for musicians" and set Echo Cancellation to the desired level. (Note: the exact label may vary depending on your version of Zoom — check Zoom's current support documentation if you do not see this option.)
-
Make sure that all other options within the Audio Profile section are cleared.
-
Close the "Settings" window.
-
In the meeting toolbar, click "Turn on Original Sound" to activate the feature. The button displays "Original Sound: On" when it is active.
Zoom's Original Sound setting is now active. When you start a new Wordly session with Zoom, make sure that "Original Sound" is on. To deactivate Original Sound or change your audio options, return to Zoom’s Audio Settings.
