DeepL introduces a new AI tool: DeepL Voice. This tool can translate real-time conversations and convert them into text.

Online text translator DeepL, which claims to be more accurate than Google, is introducing a new AI tool: DeepL Voice. This allows users to listen to someone speaking in one language and then automatically translate it into another language. The AI ​​tool speaks a dozen languages. DeepL Voice is not yet available to the general public.

DeepL Voice focuses on real-time calls and video conferencing. The spoken input is only converted to text and not to audio. It works like this: You place your smartphone on the conference table between the two speakers. The translations appear mirrored on the screen. Each participant sees the interlocutor’s translation on their side of the screen.

Audio output isn’t possible yet, but CEO Jarek Kutylowski tells Tech Crunch that it will be soon. “This is DeepL’s first language product, but it likely won’t be the last. “DeepL Voice is where translation will play a role in the coming year.” There is currently no API available for the voice product.

DeepL Voice is multilingual and can now understand the following languages: English, German, Japanese, Korean, Swedish, Dutch, French, Turkish, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Italian.

It will take some time for DeepL’s new language product to be available to DeepL users. The company now focuses primarily on B2B partners.
