Timekettle launches the Timekettle W4 AI as a sleeker, more affordable translation device tuned for everyday use. Designed like modern wireless earbuds with extended stems, it runs on Babel OS 2.0 and supports 42 languages and 95 accents at up to 98 percent accuracy. By harnessing both a standard microphone and bone-conduction sensors that pick up vocal vibrations, it ensures clear translation even in noisy environments.
The earbuds deliver about four hours of continuous translation on a single charge, which extends to ten hours when used with their charging case; for music playback, runtime increases to eight hours, or eighteen with the case. Available in navy blue and sandy gold, the W4 AI also seamlessly doubles as a regular pair of earbuds—making it both functional and elegant for global communication on the go.
