DeepL launches its first voice translation solution, DeepL Voice, alongside two new products: Voice for Meetings and Voice for Conversations, enabling cross-language virtual meetings and instant face-to-face translation.
Jarek Kutylowski, CEO and Founder of DeepL, said: "Extending DeepL's renowned quality and security to real-time voice translation is a significant step in our growth, and we are thrilled to finally launch our first voice product. Since our founding in 2017, we have accumulated extensive expertise and technology, and we have collaborated closely with customers through testing programs to ensure that our solutions address real-world challenges faced by businesses."
Jarek Kutylowski also mentioned: "DeepL is already a leader in written translation, but instant voice translation presents a completely different challenge. Instant translation must handle factors such as incomplete voice input, pronunciation issues, and latency, all of which can lead to mistranslations and a negative user experience. These challenges also frequently arise in everyday interpersonal conversations and can easily lead to misunderstandings. Therefore, we considered these factors from the outset and designed a solution that can help businesses communicate across languages and break down language barriers."
The launch of DeepL Voice marks the company's first foray into voice translation, bringing DeepL's industry-leading translation quality and security to voice communications with two new products:
DeepL Voice eliminates language barriers in virtual meetings. Each participant can communicate in their preferred language, while other participants see real-time subtitles translated on their screens. This allows everyone to communicate in their native language, enhancing clarity and participation, making conversations that might otherwise be impossible possible.
• DeepL Voice’s conversational voice function supports mobile devices and is suitable for face-to-face language communication. It assists communication in different languages through translated subtitles and provides two subtitle display modes, making it easy for both parties to view the translated content on the same device.
DeepL Voice further expands the company's suite of language and communication tools based on the DeepL Language AI platform, renowned for its accuracy and security, and trusted by 10 businesses and governments worldwide. To ensure DeepL's renowned quality and accuracy, this new voice technology utilizes an AI model trained on diverse data, capable of handling diverse accents and contexts, meeting the demands of business applications.
DeepL Voice is now generally available to businesses worldwide, initially supporting English, German, Japanese, Korean, Swedish, Dutch, French, Turkish, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Italian, with more languages to be added in the future. Additionally, subtitles are available in all 33 DeepL Translator-supported languages.
