Through extensive research into various components, we have designed an integrated solution that addresses key market gaps in existing products—specifically, the lack of secure offline translation for Southeast Asian languages. By leveraging AI edge computing, our approach eliminates the need for internet connectivity, ensuring secure and reliable translations for users in the region.
This approach presents a unique challenge: balancing powerful computational requirements with portability. To achieve optimal performance, we carefully considered hardware components such as battery capacity and cooling, along with the AI model pipeline.
When activated, the device delivers real-time transcription of spoken dialogue, text-to-text translation, and audio output of translated text in eight supported languages: English, Mandarin Chinese, Malay, Hindi, Indonesian, Tagalog, Thai, and Vietnamese.
Its split-screen design enables both users to view the transcribed conversation in their chosen language simultaneously, enhancing comprehension and ensuring accurate communication.
Our speech-to-speech translation system uses a step-by-step approach, where each part of the process is handled by a specialised model.
First, the system detects when someone is speaking. Then, it detects the language and transcribes their speech into text. Next, the text is broken into sentences and translated into the target language by sentence. Finally, the translated text is spoken aloud using a voice synthesis model when there is a lull in the conversation. This structured approach ensures lower latency and flexibility compared to a single all-in-one model.
Our customized integrated hardware solution delivers a compact form factor while combining performance, efficiency, and security. 
The compute unit handles intensive processing entirely offline and locally, ensuring high security without relying on cloud services or Wi-Fi. The audio board is designed for clear speech capture, enhancing translation accuracy, while the speaker ensures clear audio output. A custom cooling system maintains peak performance under demanding workloads, and the touchscreen provides an intuitive user experience. With a battery capable of 3.5 hours of continuous AI-powered speech translation, our meticulously integrated design offers a reliable, low cost, high-performance solution for seamless communication.
