Private invitation
The host creates the conversation and sends access to the other participant.
Two-person translation
A simple live voice translation flow for two people
Babel’s current invitation flow gives two people a straightforward way to speak remotely across languages: one person creates the conversation, the other joins, and each chooses what they want to hear. This is a useful starting format, not the limit of Babel’s product direction.
01
Two devices, one conversation
Unlike a translation app passed back and forth, Babel lets both people join remotely from their own browser. Each microphone captures its speaker, and each listener receives translated speech in the language they selected.
Independent listening
Both people control their own listening language.
02
Speak, hear, and read
Babel recognizes the active speaker, translates the words, plays translated audio, and adds the text to the live transcript. Headphones, a reliable connection, and taking turns improve clarity.
No shared device
Each person can stay in their own location.
No application install
The conversation runs in a modern browser.
03
Designed beyond the initial format
The two-person flow is the clearest current entry point and a useful search need in its own right. Babel’s broader positioning remains multilingual conversations for couples, families, friends, and international collaborators, with support for more participants planned rather than a permanent two-person identity.
04
Know the limits
Machine translation can make mistakes. Confirm important details and do not use Babel for emergency, medical, legal, or safety-critical interpretation.
Frequently asked questions
Is Babel only for two people?
The current invitation experience provides a simple two-person flow, but Babel’s positioning and product direction are broader multilingual conversations with support for more participants planned.
Do both people need an account?
Account requirements depend on the participant role and current product flow. No application installation is required.
Can both people read the translation?
Yes. Babel provides a live text transcript alongside translated speech.
