Timekettle LiveTalk Translation Earbuds (Blue)

Timekettle LiveTalk Translation Earbuds

Timekettle LiveTalk earbuds let you converse, participate in meetings and enjoy foreign-language content without constantly reaching for your phone. Four AI translation modes suit different situations, from face-to-face conversations and lectures to phone calls and multimedia. The open-ear design is comfortable during extended use. Each earbud has two microphones for capturing speech and an 11 mm driver for translated speech and other audio. A single charge provides up to 4 hours of continuous translation; the charging case extends total translation runtime to 15 hours. The earbuds can connect to a phone and a computer simultaneously, making them convenient to use across devices.

Face-to-face translation

Choose the mode that best suits the conversation. Face-to-Face Translation supports live, two-way conversations: give one earbud to the other person for hands-free conversation, or wear both earbuds while the other person listens to the translation on a phone. The system automatically distinguishes between speakers and optimises translation sentence by sentence, helping both parties follow the conversation.

AI-powered conversations and presentations

Live Listening mode translates foreign-language speech in real time and plays the translation through the earbuds, helping you follow presentations, lectures and conversations. Timekettle service plans also include AI Live Summary, which extracts key information and organises it into a timeline-based summary. Translation uses an LLM AI language model that takes the context of speech into account rather than analysing successive segments in isolation. The technology works with the Babel OS system, and the software can be updated over the air (OTA).

Translation for phone calls

Voice Call Translation translates both callers’ speech during phone and video calls. The other person does not need to install an additional app, making the feature easy to use with people who do not use Timekettle. Calls can also be archived for later reference.

Real-time translation for videos and presentations

Multi-Media Translation provides real-time translation and bilingual subtitles for videos, courses and presentations. Bluetooth 5.3 connects the earbuds to devices, and they can be connected to a phone and a computer at the same time. Use translation during online meetings or with content on a computer by launching the Timekettle app on your smartphone; no additional computer software is required. Simultaneous connection to two devices is available in both Voice Call and Multi-Media modes.

Languages and translation plans

LiveTalk supports translation in over 50 languages and more than 100 accents. Offline translation is available for 25 language pairs, so it can be used without a constant internet connection. The service operates through the Timekettle app and is available through several plans. The free plan includes 200 minutes of translation; other plans offer higher limits or unlimited minutes. Plans also include AI Refinement, AI Language Tutor, AI Live Summary and Personal Glossary.

Lightweight open-ear design

The open-ear design reduces the feeling of pressure during longer conversations, meetings and translation sessions. Each earbud weighs 6.9 g and measures 53.4 × 34 × 13.4 mm. The materials are antibacterial and skin-friendly.

Control via the Timekettle app

Initial pairing is completed through the Timekettle app, which guides you through connecting the earbuds. In the app, you can activate, deactivate and customise touch controls for functions such as volume adjustment and voice assistant support, tailoring operation to your preferences.

Privacy during translation

LiveTalk encrypts data throughout the processing cycle and complies with GDPR and FERPA requirements. This makes the earbuds suitable for situations where privacy and the confidentiality of transmitted information are important.

Battery life and charging

Each earbud has a 60 mAh battery, and the charging case has a 500 mAh battery. Continuous translation lasts up to 4 hours on a single charge, with up to 15 hours of total runtime in translation mode using the case. With the charging case, total music playback time is up to 35 hours. The case charges via USB-C and takes approximately 75 minutes to charge fully.
