How Toby Works

1. Bidirectional translation: Translates spoken language in real time between two languages, with spoken output and text transcripts to ensure nothing gets lost in translation.
2. Two-way live translation: Handles both sides of the conversation so each participant hears the translated output in their native language.
3. Personalized glossaries: Users can define specialized terms (industry jargon, names, products) to improve translation accuracy for terms you use most.
4. Voice, translation model, and volume preferences: Customizable settings to tailor the speaking voice, translation engine, and volume levels for comfort and clarity.
5. Platform compatibility: Works with your operating system’s audio to translate conversations across any video call platform.
6. Multi-language support: Bi-directional translation between 15 languages, enabling broad international communication.
