We live in an age where it has never been so important to be connected. Not only is the world more open than ever before, but with the internet you can be in touch with whoever you want, whenever you want. Yet while the majority of barriers between people have been broken down, there’s still a huge one to contend with – the language barrier. A recent study found that only around 36% of adults can fluently speak more than one language in the UK, leaving the other 64% to rely on the other person knowing English, or clunky communication via translation apps. Here at Seen in the City, we regularly travel the world, yet have to juggle translation apps, broken language and gesturing to try and get our points across. Which is where Emotii comes in.
Let’s face it, we’ve all been there. Trying to navigate awkwardly with what you’re trying to say, or messages getting lost in translation during a conversation. New app Emotii, powered by cutting-edge AI is designed to break down these walls and make it easier than ever to navigate the tricky cultural nuances and language barriers. Set to rival WhatsApp, Emotii is a desktop and smartphone application that enables real-time authentic communication between individuals, no matter their language or location.
Emotii is a well-designed and beautiful piece of software. It’s simple to use and has effective results, meaning no matter where you are or who you’re talking to, you can be on the same page. The app works by automatically translating words, tone of voice and emotion in real-time to ensure all communication is received in native tongue.
While we’ve had translation tools that work to an extent, this forges a whole new level of connection, changing the way people speak around the world. Instead of having to copy and paste words or look them up, this app will translate them in real time. It’s the sense of authenticity that this brings to communication we were the most impressed with. Being people that travel the world on a regular basis, having the ability to speak to locals in a completely new way is unrivalled. We were able to speak to business owners when we wanted more information for articles, people if we got lost and to those we met on our travels that we wanted to continue to communicate with when we got home.
Marcus Diggle, Chief Strategy Officer at Emotii talks of the app: “Emotii will empower global talent to do business without the linguistic barriers that currently exert a downward pressure that stops many companies from being able to exploit the global wage arbitrage for discrete tasks.
“emotii will also have a profound influence for human connections, from expanding the global dating pool to making studying abroad much easier – the superhuman intelligence behind emotii will lead to superhuman levels of connection. We can’t wait to bring the world a little closer for everybody.”
Available in 126 different languages, emotii is now available to download for free via Google Play and the Apple App Store.
