AITranslations

Near real-time speech translation — modular, privacy-minded, and cost-aware.

AITranslations is an invitation-only project by André Herling. It provides room-based live translation and listening. The goal is to keep the system flexible so you can choose how and where audio/text is processed.

What it’s about

A session happens inside a “room”. One device can send audio to the room, and listeners can join with a room link or QR code. Depending on the room configuration, the system can provide:

• Live transcription
• Translation into selected listener languages
• Translated audio playback
• Optional speech-to-speech interpretation (provider-dependent)

Privacy & control

You decide which backends are used for speech-to-text, translation, and text-to-speech. Depending on configuration, processing may run through self-hosted components (not now) or external AI providers.

There is no advertising tracking. The service may use internal, operational measurements to keep things running (for example connection health or aggregate usage), but it does not embed third-party marketing analytics tools.

How to use

Listen is the listener page: join a room by its slug (and a password if required). Sender requires login and is used to capture audio and control a room.

Current status

The project is under continuous development. Features are added step-by-step and may change as the system evolves.
