The Universal Translator from Star Trek

Remember that awesome universal translator featured in Star Trek. Well modern technology isn’t exactly there yet. But Travis is easily the closest and gives you seven benefits over an app.

Most of you have have probably used translation apps at some point on your phone. From Triplingo to Google Translate there are enough examples.

But using translation apps to communicate means a loss of eye contact which can disengage people from the conversation. The magic of instant face to face communication gets lost.

That’s why we developed Travis, the Instant Voice Translating Device.

Travis the Translator — Go global, but speak local

Travis the Translator tries break down these language barriers and get people directly connected, human to human. No, it’s not an app and no, it does not connect to your phone.

This pocket sized translator is designed for short to long voice conversations between individuals of different languages and cultures. How does it do this? — All thanks to artificial intelligence, so it’s a little like Star Trek :)

What makes Travis different, compared to apps and smartphones?

1: One-touch-action, no need to keep unlocking your phone and swiping to the right app

2. Loud speakers and sensitive mic

3. 12 hour battery life - translation apps kill your phone battery soon

4. No interference or distraction from other smartphone apps during conversation (messages/calls/notifications)

5. Safety — No need to pull your expensive smartphone out in when you’re traveling

6. It’s compatible with ear phones and blue-tooth

7. Offline translation

In short, Travis is there to help you go global and speak local. We’ll be launching soon, so remember to reserve your Travis device.
