Waverly Labs has launched an innovative new translation app that is designed to carry out accurate and precise translation in real time whilst also enjoying the benefits of audio transcription.
Currently available on iOS, the 'Forum' translation app supports 20 languages and more than twice as many dialects. Users are also given the capability of changing languages in the middle of translation sessions, as well as a profanity filter to block out words that they'd rather not see. While the real-time features are undoubtedly impressive, Waverly Labs has also wisely enabled paused modes to translate conversations that needn't necessarily be processed in real time.
Elsewhere, the 'Forum' translation app is also fully compatible with widely used video-conferencing and workplace collaboration apps such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet. This feature in combination with its real-time functionality makes it extremely appealing in settings such as conferences, lectures and seminars.
