Translator earbuds TimeKettle LiveTalk (silver)

Translation earbuds Timekettle LiveTalk (silver)

Timekettle LiveTalk earbuds let you converse freely, take part in meetings and enjoy foreign-language content without constantly reaching for your phone. Four AI translation modes are available, each suited to different situations – from face-to-face conversations and lectures to phone calls and watching multimedia content. The open-ear design ensures comfort during prolonged use. Each earbud uses two microphones to capture speech and an 11 mm driver to play back translations and other audio content. A single charge provides up to 4 hours of continuous translation, while the charging case extends the total operating time in this mode to 15 hours. An additional advantage is the ability to connect to a phone and a computer simultaneously, which lets you conveniently use LiveTalk even while working on different devices.

Translation during face-to-face conversations

Rather than being limited to a single method of communication, Timekettle LiveTalk earbuds let you choose the mode that best suits the situation. Face-to-face translation is designed for two-way live conversations – you can pass one earbud to the other person and have a conversation hands-free, or use both earbuds while the other person listens to the translation through their phone. The system automatically distinguishes between speakers and optimises translation sentence by sentence, which makes it easier to follow what both sides are saying.

Conversations and presentations supported by AI

Live listening mode translates foreign-language speech in real time and plays the translation directly through the earbuds, making it easier to follow presentations, lectures or conversations. Timekettle service plans also include the AI Live Summary feature, which automatically extracts key information and organises it into a timeline-based summary. Translation is processed by an LLM AI language model, which takes the context of the speech into account instead of analysing consecutive segments of the conversation in isolation. The technology works with the Babel OS system, and the software can be updated via OTA updates.

Phone calls without language barriers

Voice call translation enables translation of speech from both interlocutors during phone and video calls. The other person does not need to install an additional app, which makes this feature easy to use even when communicating with people who do not use Timekettle. There is also an option to archive conversations, allowing you to review them later.

Videos, courses and presentations with real-time translation

Multimedia translation lets you use LiveTalk even when a language barrier arises while you are watching content. This mode provides real-time translation together with bilingual subtitles for videos, courses and presentations. Bluetooth 5.3 handles communication with devices, and the earbuds can be connected to a phone and a computer simultaneously. This makes it easy to use translation during online meetings and while working with content on your computer, without having to install additional software – simply launch the Timekettle app on your smartphone. Simultaneous connection to two devices is available both in voice call mode and in multimedia mode, so you can use translation during conversations as well as while playing multimedia on your computer.

Over 50 languages and offline translation access

LiveTalk offers translation in over 50 languages and supports over 100 accents, which significantly expands its potential for international communication. Offline translation is also available for 25 language pairs, allowing you to use this feature even without a constant internet connection. The service works through the Timekettle app and is available in several plans. The free plan includes 200 minutes of translation, while the other plans let you increase your translation limit or use the service with unlimited minutes. The plans also include AI Refinement, AI Language Tutor, AI Live Summary and Personal Glossary.

Lightweight open-ear design

The open-ear design reduces pressure sensation, which is especially important during longer conversations, meetings or when using live translation. Each earbud weighs only 6.9 g, so it does not strain the ear, and its dimensions are 53.4 × 34 × 13.4 mm. The materials used are antibacterial and skin-friendly.

Control via the Timekettle app

The initial connection is established through the Timekettle app, which guides the user through the device pairing process. From the app you can also activate, deactivate and customise the touch controls, related, among other things, to adjusting volume and the operation of the voice assistant. This lets you adapt the way you use the earbuds to your own preferences, without having to rely on a single fixed control scheme.

Privacy during translation

For conversations and meetings, not only the translation itself but also the security of the processed data is important. LiveTalk offers end-to-end data encryption and compliance with GDPR and FERPA requirements. As a result, the earbuds can be used in situations where protecting the privacy and confidentiality of transmitted information is of particular importance.

Ready for hours of translation

Each earbud is equipped with a 60 mAh battery, while the charging case offers 500 mAh. On a single charge you can use continuous translation for up to 4 hours, and with the charging case the total operating time in this mode reaches 15 hours. When listening to music, the full set provides up to 35 hours of battery life. The case charges via a USB-C port, and a full charge takes about 75 minutes.
