What technology is Ambassador based upon?

The technology behind Ambassador is made up of speech recognition, machine translation, and speech synthesis.

These technologies are subjective to several elements, including the person speaking, the chosen language, and the context of the conversation.

In general, the translations are accurate for general conversation but with our machine learning technology, the more people use the technology the better it gets.

Ambassador supports 20 languages

Ambassador supports English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, German, Russian, Arabic, Greek, Hindi, Polish, Turkish, Chinese Mandarin, Japanese and Korean, plus 5 new languages, including Cantonese, Dutch, Vietnamese, Thai, and Hebrew.

Ambassador is made by Waverly Labs

Waverly Labs is a tech startup at the convergence of wearable technology and machine translation.

Using the latest technologies in speech recognition, machine translation and the advances of wearable technology, the Ambassador is a smart earpiece which allows wearers to speak different languages but still clearly understand each other.

Simply put, when one person speaks, the other hears it in their native language.

Waverly Labs was founded in 2013 by Andrew Ochoa, CEO and Director of Product Development and William Goethals, Electrical Engineer and Head of Manufacturing. The startup has raised a total of $6.1M in funding over 3 rounds.
