App Profile: Pilot Speech Translator

I think they’re very good. The comfort of the earpiece is good and stays in the ear. I was worried they would easily fall out. The translation (although I had to repeat a couple times) was good in several different languages that I tried. You have to speak slow and clear but it picks it up. I think it will never be perfect due to changes in people’s dialect. Even in the US many people speak English differently and require people to slow their speech down or to be more concise. I hope they fix it but I think it will take time to get slang and accent translated perfectly. I look forward to the updates. As for the device, it was easily paired to my phone. I don’t care for the fact that the earpiece will just turnoff on its own. I assume it’s to save battery but if I’m in the middle of a conversation I don’t want it to just turn off and have to keep turning it on or re-pairing it. Overall I’m happy with the product and the fact that they delivered. Definitely some tweaks to be made but good work!

This whole thing really feels like a big sham to me. It’s been a couple years since I first donated to the Indiegogo campaign. Since then there have been numerous emails and progress updates and promises of “delivering soon.” 10 days ago I got an email saying “Your package is on its way” with a DHL tracking number. The email links me to a Waverly Labs page with shipping progress, etc. I immediately go to DHL to track the number and get “No shipment found”. Over the last 10 days I’ve periodically checked back on the shipping progress. The progress and the page has not changed at all and the tracking number still can not be found by DHL. Until, and if, this thing actually shows up I have to believe this entire campaign is an elaborate ruse. Just a big scam. I hope I’m wrong and that I some day get to actually be disappointed like the many others who reviewed here, but until then I even have to think all those reviews, both positive and negative, are fake too. The whole thing just wreaks of a scam. Such a shame for what could and should be a true global breakthrough product. Maybe someone will actually deliver on the promise some day.

The purpose for which it was created, failure in all senses, and more times than normal. In my humble opinion I think that you are very close to success, but... I believe in the success of your project although to achieve this we must work much more on improving the software. You need a high degree of sensitivity in terms of recognizing and identifying 360-degree sounds of the language and to process that information in any language and in fractions of seconds. Language Barriers require high technology to build a bridge indestrutible of communication. When use for the first time pilot I had several visions. Its limitations helped me understand more about your improvements. Here are some ideas: Imagine a menu of infinite possibilities. It is known that translates conversations external, but if you could translate what you hear internally from your connection bluetouch with two Piliot connected. A video, a music, etc ...to Listen, to understand, to comprehend, to appreciate the beauty of the sounds that culturally other people, expressed through the language, is to love a technology as a Pilot. Thank you very much WAVERLY LABS
