Operating Modes

The Timekettle M3 offers three distinct translation modes to suit various communication scenarios:

• 1. Touch Mode

  Ideal for one-on-one, in-depth conversations. Each person wears one earbud. Simply tap your earbud to speak, and the other person will hear the translation in their earbud. This mode facilitates natural, fluent dialogue.

• 2. Listen Mode

  Designed for situations where you need to understand a speaker without actively participating in a two-way conversation (e.g., lectures, presentations). Place your mobile phone close to the speaker, and the app will automatically pick up sentences and translate them into your earbud.

• 3. Speaker Mode

  Useful for short conversations with multiple people or when you don't want to share an earbud (e.g., asking for directions, ordering food). You can use your smartphone as the primary input device, or wear both earbuds, and the translation will be played aloud through your phone's speaker.

• Earbud Playtime: Approximately 7.5 hours on a single full charge.

• Charging Time: The charging case can be fully charged in approximately 90 minutes.

Advanced Features

• AI Semantic Segmentation Technology

It automatically picks up and logically segments speech into sentences, allowing you to hear translations of previous sentences as speakers move to the next, ensuring a smooth and instant understanding.
