> Real-time AI voice translation for video calls that preserves your natural voice.

## What is Hitoo

Hitoo is a real-time voice translation platform powered by AURIS, a proprietary end-to-end AI model. Participants speak their own language and hear each other translated live — preserving the speaker's real voice, tone, and identity. Not subtitles. Not robotic text-to-speech. Your actual voice, in another language.

## Key Facts

- 57 languages at launch, scaling to 100+
- 1,100+ direct translation paths between language pairs
- Sub-300ms end-to-end latency target
- Voice identity preservation (timbre, rhythm, emotion)
- End-to-end encryption, zero audio retention
- Browser-based, no plugins required
- GDPR compliant by design
- Built in Europe, trained on EuroHPC Leonardo

## AURIS Model

AURIS is the first end-to-end speech-to-speech translation model that preserves the speaker's voice. Unlike traditional cascade pipelines (Speech-to-Text → Machine Translation → Text-to-Speech), AURIS processes audio in a single forward pass. No intermediate text conversion. Meaning, prosody, voice identity, and conversational context live in the same latent space.

Traditional cascade: 1.5–8 seconds latency, voice lost, errors compound across 3 stages.
AURIS: sub-300ms latency, voice preserved, single optimization point.

## Use Cases

- International business meetings
- Consulting and professional services (client calls across languages)
- Legal and compliance (cross-border depositions, encrypted end-to-end)
- Healthcare and telemedicine (doctor-patient communication)
- Education and training (live lecture translation)
- Customer support (agents support any language without training)

## FAQ

Q: Does Hitoo translate voice or just text?
A: Voice. Each participant speaks their language and hears the other person in theirs — translated live, with the speaker's real voice preserved.

Q: How fast is the translation?
A: AURIS targets sub-300ms end-to-end latency, fast enough that conversations feel natural without awkward pauses.

Q: Is Hitoo secure for business calls?
A: Yes. End-to-end encryption on all audio. Zero audio retention — nothing stored after the call. No third-party services in the pipeline. GDPR compliant.

Q: How many languages does Hitoo support?
A: 57 languages at launch with 1,100+ direct translation paths. New languages can be added in days, not months.

Q: Do I need to install software?
A: No. Hitoo is entirely browser-based. No plugins, no downloads, no IT setup required.

Q: What makes AURIS different from other translation AI?
A: AURIS is end-to-end speech-to-speech. No intermediate text step. One model, one forward pass. This preserves voice identity, conversational context, and prosody that cascade pipelines destroy.

Q: Can Hitoo be deployed on-premise?
A: Yes. For enterprise clients with data sovereignty requirements, AURIS runs on a single GPU accelerator. No cloud dependency, air-gapped operation supported.
