It is said that the Tower of Babel signified the limitless capabilities of human unity and ambition. Truly, language is one of the biggest barriers, but modern technology is breaking it down. AI, translation apps, and certain devices are more accessible and easy to use than ever. Enter the Timekettle X1 Meeting, a device that promises to make multi-language meetings and general translation simple, even when offline.
I’ve seen Timekettle translators for some years, usually at technology conventions like CES, which is a pretty good place for them, given the usual mass of multilingual attendees at such events. I always wondered how well they worked outside of such showcases; testing them for a few minutes on the show floor certainly isn’t enough to form an opinion.
