In-Ear Device Automatically Translates Foreign Languages So You Can Talk To Anyone
The tiny translator created by Waverly Labs, a US-based company, is called The Pilot System. The simple earpiece does all of the translating for you. It even translates what you say into the other person's language. As a result, two people can seamlessly have a conversation without knowing how to speak the other person's language.
1. Cost? Retail is expected to be $249-$299
3. When can the Pilot be pre-ordered? Waverly Labs will keep everyone
updated via email. Sign up for the launch then you will
be alerted.
4. When will
they be delivered? Waverly Labs plans to release a translation app this summer (2016) for basic translation. This is
included in your purchase. However, the earpieces require much more
testing, manufacturing and production time. Therefore, we anticipate the
earliest will be in late fall/early winter, although fulfilling all orders
could take until next spring. Also, first come first serve.
5. What’s
included? The full package includes the Pilot and secondary earpiece (2 earpieces total),
1 portable charger, and an accompanying app where the languages are
downloaded for the earpiece.
6. What
languages will be supported? Initially English, Spanish,
French, Italian, etc. Additional languages will be available very soon
after, including East Asian, Hindi, Semitic, Arabic, Slavic, African, etc.
NOTE:
Additional language packs will be available for a premium fee, however ALL
early adopters who order during our launch campaign on May 24th – 25th will
always receive these new language packs FREE.
7. Will it
translate for my dialect? Every language has various dialects and the earpiece is designed to translate
common dialects, although thick accents could disrupt this.
8. How does it
work? The first generation works only when you are speaking to someone who also has
an earpiece. That is why the package comes with two earpieces. Future
generations of the earpiece will be updated to listen to EVERYTHING happening
around you.
9. What if the
other person doesn’t have an earpiece? The app can be used on their phone.
10. Does it
work offline? Yes it is designed to work offline for overseas use.
