Timekettle Releases W4 Pro Earbuds with Babel OS for Real-Time Two-Way Call Translation
Timekettle, a communication technology provider, this week introduced the enhanced W4 Pro Earbuds with bidirectional call functionality and Babel OS, offering seamless two-way real-time translation during phone and video calls on any communication platform.
The new feature allows two-way translations through any telecommunication application or traditional phone system. Users activate the translation mode simply by wearing the W4 Pro headset during calls, which requires no additional action by the other party, such as installing apps, software, or specialized translation equipment. It supports more than 40 languages and 93 accents.
Based on Timekettle's HybridComm technology, the W4 Pro works with three- to five-second delay after the original speech is heard. The design also features slightly louder translated voices compared to the originals to enhance clarity without interference. The advanced AI technology achieves up to 95 percent translation accuracy. It offers various modes tailored to different scenarios:
- One-on-One Mode: Share an earbud with another person for real-time translation during face-to-face conversations.
- Listen and Play Mode: Record audio via the mobile app and receive translations, which can be played back later.
- Switch to Speak Mode: Speak into the earbud, and the translated speech is broadcast through phone speakers for meetings or presentations.
Another feature of the W4 Pro is its AI-driven summarization capability. During calls, it captures and displays all spoken words and translations on mobile devices in real time. Once the call concludes, it generates detailed meeting minutes that can be shared instantly. Other advanced features include the following:
- Real-Time Bilingual Transcriptions: Floating app windows provide live bilingual text transcriptions during calls, ensuring all information is recorded for review and organization.
- Enhanced Language Recognition for more than 40 languages and 93 accents, handling both standard pronunciations and regional dialects.
- Customizable Lexicons: Tailored translations for specific industries or contexts.
The new Timekettle Babel OS, which delivers transitions with solutions that can anticipate what is being said, adapt to customizable lexicons, and translate with real human emotion and tonality. Key features of this upgrade include the following:
- AI semantic segmentation with Timekettle's HybridComm technology for AI processing. It segments sentences and predicts their completion, enabling lightning-fast, real-time translations with near-zero latency.
- Custom lexicon that enables users to create custom vocabularies for specific industries or contexts.
- Advanced voice cloning technology to replicate users' unique voice tones and speech patterns.
- Machine learning that adapts dynamically to different languages and accents through continuous AI training and leverages the latest large language model engines.
- Advanced encryption and robust security measures across all devices and applications.
"With the enhanced W4 Pro and Babel OS, we've created a solution that not only bridges language gaps but also redefines global communication standards. The two-way simultaneous call feature is a game-changer, offering a lifelike and uninterrupted communication experience across languages." said Leal Tian, founder and CEO of Timekettle, in a statement.
