Timekettle’s translation earbuds let you program slang.

I’m a skeptic when it comes to real-time translation tech, but I’m intrigued by the Timekettle W4 Pro buds and the newly announced Babel OS.

We’ll have to see how well it works, but it acknowledges one of my biggest pet peeves with translation tech: how fast language evolves.
