DeepL Launches Real-Time Voice Translation to Challenge Tech Giants
DeepL, the German artificial intelligence startup valued at two billion euros, has announced the launch of a new real-time voice translation tool. This strategic move aims to strengthen its position against American competitors like Google and OpenAI in the AI translation sector. Founded in 2017, DeepL has already attracted 200,000 corporate clients by offering high-quality text translations. The new product expands upon its previous DeepL Voice solution, which provided automatic subtitles for videos and virtual meetings. Unlike the earlier version, this latest innovation allows participants in video conferences or telephone calls to speak in their native language while interlocutors hear the translated response in their own language instantly. The tool supports 40 languages, including all 24 official languages of the European Union. Jarek Kutylowski, the founder of DeepL, emphasized that the company focused on achieving superior quality in terms of both translation accuracy and low latency to meet professional standards. This development marks a significant escalation in DeepL's efforts to capture the strategic voice segment of the market, leveraging its reputation as a European champion in AI technology to compete with established global tech giants.
