The Austrian startup iTranslate is launching headphone on the marketplace in collaboration with the headphone producer Bragi which enable real-time translations in about 40 languages.

“The Dash Pro” is more or less an in-ear computer. The user connects the wearable per Bluetooth with the smartphone. The iTranslate app subsequently serves as an interpreter, translates from the integrated microphone of the “Dash Pro” and supplies the translation to the headphone. 

The translation app of iTranslate recently surpassed the threshold of 70 million downloads, is used daily for more than four million translations and boasts about six million active users, mostly in the USA, followed by Asia, Europe and Africa.
