A real-time translator built first for live events — caption or voice a room in many languages at once. Works for 1:1 meetings and conversations too.
Three steps. No drama.
It listens to the room
One feed from the desk. Babel works off the audio you are already mixing, not a phone held up near a speaker.
Everyone picks a language
People in the room choose what they want on their own device. Nobody hands out receivers or counts headsets at the door.
Captions or a voice
Read it or hear it. Some rooms want text on a screen, some want a spoken track in an ear, and the same feed serves both.
What it does.
- 01Real-time captions for live events, in many languages at once
- 02Voice translation, not just text
- 03Doubles for 1:1 meetings and conversations
Babel is an early concept, not a build. It is on this page because people keep asking for it, and we would rather show you what is coming than pretend the shelf is fuller than it is.
The honest answers.
Is this available now? +
No. Babel is at the concept stage. There is no download and no trial, and this page will say something different the day that changes.
Do people need special hardware? +
That is the point of building it this way. Translation receivers cost money, get lost, and run out of batteries. Phones are already in the room.
Why does it start with live events? +
Because a live room is the hard version. Solve a service or a conference and a two-person meeting is a much easier case.
How do I follow it? +
Email hello@boringlabs.online. Tell us the room, the languages, and how many people. Real use cases decide what gets built first.
Babel.
On the bench, in active development. Say hello and we’ll tell you the moment it ships — nothing else.
