Babel

Families and friends

Live voice translation for multilingual relationships

Relationships are built through ordinary conversation: stories, jokes, plans, and the small details of a day. Babel helps people who are more comfortable in different languages keep those conversations spoken and remote.

01

A shared conversation, not a passed-around phone

Each participant joins from their own browser and chooses the language they want to hear. That makes Babel better suited to recurring remote conversations than travel-style phrase translation on one device.

Partners and extended family

Talk across first languages without making one person translate every exchange.

Long-distance friendships

Keep the personality of a spoken call when language confidence differs.

02

How a personal conversation flows

Create a private conversation, send the invitation, and speak naturally. Babel recognizes speech, translates it, plays the translated voice, and shows a live transcript. Headphones and a quiet room improve the experience.

Each person chooses

Listening language is set independently for every participant.

Listen and read

The transcript provides context when a word is difficult to hear.

03

Good expectations make better calls

Machine translation is useful but imperfect. Speak clearly, take turns, reduce background noise, and rephrase important details if something sounds wrong. Do not rely on Babel for emergencies, medical instructions, legal decisions, or other high-stakes interpretation.

Frequently asked questions

Do family members need to install an app?

No. They join the Babel conversation in a modern browser using an invitation.

Can each person hear a different language?

Yes. Every participant independently selects their listening language.

Is Babel only for couples?

No. The product is positioned for multilingual couples, families, friends, and collaborators. The current invitation experience also provides a straightforward two-person flow.
