Babelverse is the "universal translator" for spoken communication, powered by a global community of remote interpreters.

Babelverse relies on people to preserve the quality, context, cultural relevance, tone and emotion of the spoken word. Much better than any algorithm! Machine translation is just not reliable for real conversations.

Skilled multilinguals people and professional interpreters alike can earn money for their time, creating a new source of income for people all over the world.

Rates are set by Babelverse using a unique "fair trade" approach, varying per language pair according to parameters such as cost of living and purchasing power. Babelverse interpreters receive a 70% share of the interpretation price.

A service for every type of situation

On Babelverse you can choose from 3 distinct groups of interpreters, depending on your need:

Yellow Belt (Multilinguals)
A free service provided by new multilingual members so they can practice by interpreting your casual conversations. At the end of the call, you can thank them with a donation if they helped you out, which also helps the community discover new language talent.

Purple Belt (Experienced Multilinguals)
Multilinguals who have proven themselves are available at affordable per-minute rates.

Black Belt (Professionals)
High quality service by professional interpreters (with specialised training, accreditation and/or a lot of proven experience). For conferences, business meetings, and any critical discussions...

Used by anyone

Phase 1

Babelverse is being used today for events and conferences, for both attendees and remote viewers. There’s no more need for expensive specialised equipment and on–site interpreters.

Live–streamed conferences can now be made available in multiple languages, for people who would be unable to attend, let alone understand.

Need interpretation?

Phase 2

Babelverse will soon allow anybody to benefit from on–the–spot interpretation, over the phone or via the internet, during their everyday conversations, when doing business, traveling, or any situation. For around the cost of a mobile phone call!

Anyone will be able to request interpretation via their computer, smartphone or other mobile device, and then be connected to the best available interpreter. And even without access to the internet, by making a call to a local–rate phone number…

We have a grand vision which you can read about here.
