Waverly Labs Forum Review: Impressive One-to-Many Voice Translation

WIRED

Two years ago I took Wavery Labs' Ambassador Interpreter for a spin--or rather, a listen--and found the unique earphones a powerful and effective way to facilitate one-on-one, multilingual conversations. Now Waverly is back with a new product: a smartphone app called Forum that is built to facilitate one-to-many communication in multiple languages for up to 50 participants. Everyone in the group launches the app, and the "leader" of the group--ideally the person that will be doing most of the speaking--initiates a session as the host. Everyone else joins the session either by scanning a provided QR code or tapping in a six-digit number, essentially joining a group chat. All supported languages, 25 at present, are translated in real time within the app to every member of the session.
