Innovative interpreter headphones with built-in AI shown at IFA 2024
Timekettle's W4 Pro interpreter headphones with HybridComm are an innovative solution for international meetings. This system combines voice processing and simultaneous translation using AI.
The W4 Pro is a kind of personal assistant. One of their key features is a 3-microphone system designed to accurately capture voice and minimize background noise. This ensures the clarity and accuracy of the user's speech. The high efficiency of the voice recognition technology is achieved thanks to the Opus algorithm. It provides 95% translation accuracy and a minimum delay of only 0.2 seconds. The device has Timekettle TurboFast and BoostClean technologies, which help to effectively filter out ambient noise.
Another important advantage of the W4 Pro is its ability to facilitate interaction during meetings. Real-time translation and playback modes allow users to easily switch between listening and speaking, making participation in discussions more natural. The device also supports translation of phone calls and online meetings.
The headphones automatically save audio recordings. In addition, the device uses AI to extract and summarize key points from recordings, turning spoken content into concise summaries.
Each earbud lasts up to 6 hours on battery life, with a charging case providing an additional 20 hours for translation and 36 hours for music listening. The W4 Pro is available for pre-order at $449. It comes with 2 earbuds and a charging case.
