Translator Q1 – A revolutionary device with voice cloning
The star product presented at CES 2025 is the Translator Q1, the most advanced translator from Traductores VA. Equipped with innovative features, this device promises to revolutionize the electronic translation industry. The most notable feature is voice cloning (Vasco My Voice), which allows users to create a digital copy of their voice to use in over 70 languages. This makes communication much more natural, as the Translator Q1 can speak in the owner’s own voice. Additionally, users have the option to choose the gender of the voice, adding an extra level of personalization.
The Translator Q1 not only allows live translation but can also translate phone conversations in real-time. Thanks to the Call Translator feature, users can communicate in over 50 different languages during calls.
On the other hand, the Translator Q1, like its previous models, offers voice, text, and photo translations in over 110 languages. An important feature is that it includes a built-in SIM cardThe eSIM, translated as “built-in SIM card” or “on… that provides free internet access for translations in nearly 200 countries. For added convenience, the device also features a contactless conversation mode, facilitating a more natural dialogue without the need to manually signal the start and end of speech, ideal for dynamic situations where speed and comfort are essential.
According to the company’s plans, the device will be available for sale in 2025.
Vasco Audience – Improved quality in conference translation
Another new solution presented at CES is the Vasco Audience system, designed for group translations at international events. This system allows for translating long speeches into multiple languages simultaneously, making it ideal for education, tourism, the MICE industry, companies, and cultural organizations. With Vasco Audience, the Krakow-based company aims to make conferences more accessible to all participants, regardless of their language.
The system consists of two applications: Vasco Connect for speakers, and Vasco Audience App, a web application for attendees. Vasco Connect allows presenters to deliver their speeches in their language with simultaneous translation, while the audience can access the web app from any device via a QR code and choose their preferred language. This enables participants to easily listen to and understand the content without installing additional software.
Traductores VA Audience also promotes interaction between attendees and speakers by allowing the audience to ask questions through the app, which are then translated into the speaker’s language. This way, international events become more inclusive and dynamic.
According to the company’s plans, the system will be available for users of the Translator E1 headphones in 2025.
Other devices like the Translator V4 and the new headphones of the Translator E1, which have recently launched in Spain, were also showcased at the company’s booth during CES 2025.
