Timekettle W4 Pro AI Interpreter Earbuds Features and Specifications
According to information on the official website, the W4 Pro earbuds feature dimensions of 80.1×57.7×25.4mm with an open-ear design. They are equipped with on-device AI that enables real-time translation of audio during voice calls, video calls, and online meetings with multiple participants.
The translation capabilities encompass 40 different languages, including but not limited to Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese, Croatian, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Tamil, Telugu, Turkish, Urdu, and Vietnamese. Furthermore, the device can differentiate between 93 accents.
Timekettle states that the translation feature operates automatically, requiring no manual activation, as the AI can recognize foreign language audio and initiate translation seamlessly. The translated audio is purportedly louder than the original speech, ensuring clarity for the user. Additionally, the earbuds can generate a text summary of conversations for users to review later and provide the option to compare the original speech with its translation.
The earbuds come with a charging case that features an 800mAh battery and utilizes a USB Type-C charging connection. Users can expect up to six hours of operational time on a single charge, with a full charge taking approximately one hour.
