How Timekettle and its X1 Interpreter Hub came to be
More than 40 years ago, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, a work of science fiction, introduced the concept of the Babel fish. It is a yellow fish which, when placed in the ear, confers the power to immediately understand any language.
Several decades later, this concept like many others has left the framework of fiction to become a reality.
Tian Li, the creator of Timekettle and the X1 Interpreter Hub, always wanted to develop technology products that could solve the communication problems people face every day.
In 2016, he created a first device serving as an instant translator in the form of headphones. The product thus makes it possible to facilitate communication between people when traveling, in a professional context or in daily life. The X1 Interpreter Hub is only the logical continuation of his entrepreneurial adventure.
This device, more advanced and using artificial intelligence, makes it possible to instantly translate conversations in several languages by voice. It is a practical tool that breaks the language barrier and allows anyone to communicate easily wherever they go.
