How does PolyTalk work?

PolyTalk captures live audio from microphones, meetings, browser tabs, videos, or streams, processes it through a real-time speech translation pipeline, and instantly delivers translated voice playback. Everything runs within your infrastructure without relying on external cloud translation services.

What is speech-to-speech translation?

Speech-to-speech translation converts spoken words in one language into translated speech in another language. Unlike traditional translation tools, it enables natural multilingual communication by preserving spoken interaction and delivering translated voice output in real time.

How is it different from speech-to-text translation?

Speech-to-text translation converts spoken audio into translated text. Speech-to-speech translation goes further by generating translated voice output, enabling more natural conversations and real-time communication without requiring participants to read translated transcripts.

Can PolyTalk run on-premise?

Yes. PolyTalk is a self-hosted, on-premise speech translation platform designed to run entirely within your own infrastructure. No external APIs, third-party services, or cloud providers are required, giving you complete control over data and deployment.

What languages does PolyTalk support?

PolyTalk currently supports English, Gujarati, Hindi, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Russian, Italian, Dutch, Turkish, Tamil, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam — with support for additional languages expanding over time.

What latency should I expect?

PolyTalk is optimized for low-latency real-time speech-to-speech translation and typically delivers translated voice output in less than 2 seconds. This enables smooth conversations, live speech translation, and uninterrupted multilingual communication across various audio environments.

Does PolyTalk require external APIs?

No. PolyTalk is a fully self-hosted speech translation platform that operates entirely within your own infrastructure. It does not rely on external APIs, cloud translation services, or third-party providers — making it a reliable solution for private and isolated environments.

Is my audio data stored?

PolyTalk does not require audio data to be sent to external services. Because the platform is fully self-hosted, you maintain complete control over audio processing, storage policies, and data retention settings within your own infrastructure.

Is PolyTalk suitable for secure internal environments?
