In this day and age, doing business with companies and individuals from other countries is pretty common. In fact, it’s almost necessary since competition can be fierce and expanding beyond your borders is one way to grow. This can be challenging, especially when dealing with people who speak a different language. This is why devices like the Timekettle W4 Pro, a pair of AI-powered translation earbuds, can be crucial.
Small and portable
Timekettle is no stranger when it comes to translation devices. The company has launched several translation devices in the past. Some of which, like the Timekettle X1, are a small portable device that you can carry around. But if you prefer something even smaller and a bit more private, that’s where the Timekettle W4 Pro shines.
These are essentially a pair of true wireless earbuds that look a bit like a Bluetooth headset. They’re pretty stylish and have a slightly extended microphone. This helps ensure voices come through clearer which we will get to in a bit. It is also accompanied by a small carrying/charging case that keeps the earbuds charged up and ready to go.
AI powered translation
AI is the buzzword of the season, so it really doesn’t come as a surprise that Timekettle is leveraging the technology for its W4 Pro earbuds. According to Timekettle, the earbuds utilize what they’re calling AI Semantic Segmentation. This is basically where the AI helps to parse sentences.
When it comes to translation, understanding context is important. Sometimes translations can be off because they can be quite literal. Using AI to help break down the sentences will alleviate those pain points. According to Timekettle, this should result in better information retention, better understanding, and will help enhance the overall productivity of your meetings.
There is also an AI Memo feature that can also provide users with a post-meeting summary. Summarizing content is something we’re seeing many AI models do these days, so it’s nice that Timekettle is including something similar for its earbuds.
Support for multiple languages
There are so many countries around the world and they all speak different languages. In fact, within a country itself there can be multiple groups of people speaking multiple languages. Thankfully, the Timekettle W4 Pro appears to be more than well-equipped to handle that.
According to Timekettle, the earbuds support 40 languages. It also supports as many as 93 accents, and there are also 13 pairs of languages that are supported offline. This means that even without an internet connection, there are at least 13 language pairs that you can translate with.
Fast, quick, and clear

Lastly, we have to talk about the speed and clarity of the Timekettle W4 Pro. Having a device that can translate is one thing, but to be able to do so quickly and clearly is even more important.
According to Timekettle, the earbuds have a 0.2s response time. This is honestly kind of insane. Sometimes translation can be a bit awkward when you’re waiting for the translation. This can delay your meeting and ruin the vibe. With a 0.2s response time, you’ll get your results so quickly that the whole meeting can run smoothly.
The earbuds also feature an open-ear design. This means unlike in-ear earbuds that can block out noise, you can still hear what’s going on around you. This is important because sometimes hearing the tone of a person’s voice can add context to their words, even if you don’t fully understand it.
There are also three microphones built into the W4 Pro. This helps ensure that voices are picked up clearly so that the translation can be even more accurate.
Pricing & availability
If you’re interested in the Timekettle W4 Pro earbuds, they will soon be available for purchase via the company’s website. They are priced at $449.90, which is admittedly kind of steep for a pair of earbuds. However, the use of AI for real-time translation could be invaluable for some doing business or those who are trying to make their holidays easier and could be worth checking out.
