Operating Modes

The Timekettle W4 Pro offers several operating modes to suit various communication needs:

1. One-on-One Mode (Simul Mode)

This mode is ideal for direct, real-time conversations between two individuals. Each person wears one earbud, allowing for natural, bidirectional simultaneous translation with near-zero latency. Both parties can speak freely and hear the translated speech directly in their earbud.

2. Listen & Play Mode (Group Discussions)

Designed for multilingual meetings and group discussions, this mode allows one person to speak while others listen to the translated speech through their own devices (e.g., phone, tablet). The AI automatically segments long speeches and can generate summaries, making it perfect for presentations or round-table debates.
