How Timekettle works

Each participant wears or holds a device, and speech is captured, translated and played back to the listener, with the app handling calls and transcripts. The T1 runs an AI edge model so it can translate without internet in supported languages. Output quality depends on language pair and accent.

Who uses Timekettle?

Travelers, international business teams and people who join cross-border calls or meetings. The company also positions W4 Pro for business use.

Timekettle pricing

Timekettle sells hardware at a one-time price rather than a subscription. The W4 Pro is listed at $449 in USD, and orders above $119 ship free. The T1 listing mentions 24 months of free data. Other models vary.
