The Services
Developed during the pandemic to facilitate safe, face-to-face bilingual communications, Subtitles by Waverly Labs is a solution for customer service interactions in various businesses. After selecting the desired languages, users can talk naturally. Spoken words are translated and displayed as text on the opposite person’s screen in their chosen language and in near real-time. Subtitles uses two screens, a connected processing unit and a mic array that captures conversation and sends them to the cloud. The proprietary technology lets users communicate like watching a subtitled movie and reading what the other person said.
Audience by Waverly Labs is a translation solution for lectures, educators, and conference event organizers that lets presenters converse with a room regardless of what language they or their audience speak. The app allows audience members to select a language and receive translations on their own mobile device.
The Ambassador Interpreter 2.0 makes its debut at the Consumer Electronics Show with a sleeker look and improved speech capture for faster, more accurate translations. Worn over-the-ear, the device offers a natural interpretation experience allowing multiple users to engage in free-flowing conversations. It uses an advanced far-field microphone array combined with speech recognition neural networks to capture speech and then process the words with cloud-based machine translation engines to deliver translations. Its three modes offer personal, small group and one-on-one translations.
