We created TOKI to help people understand each other
Translation earbuds + AI software. Built together for seamless, natural conversations.
How TOKI Started
TOKI began as a small internal project. A few years ago, our team was working across multiple countries — client calls, business trips, and everyday conversations where language barriers kept getting in the way.
We tried existing solutions, but none felt natural. Translation apps required constantly checking a phone, while many devices were bulky or awkward to use in real conversations.
So we decided to build our own solution.
Our team developed the software from scratch and partnered with a trusted audio manufacturer to create translation earbuds designed for real-time translation — directly in your ear, without interrupting the flow of conversation. Today TOKI supports 144 languages.
After multiple iterations and real-world testing, TOKI became something we genuinely wanted to use ourselves every day. Today TOKI is used by travelers, business owners, students, and expats in more than 40 countries around the world.
Not Just Hardware — A Platform
The TOKI app is developed entirely in-house by our team of mobile engineers. By building both the software and the device together, we’re able to deliver seamless real-time translation directly to your earbuds.
The platform continues to improve through regular updates — bringing better AI accuracy, new capabilities, and an increasingly seamless translation experience.
TOKI isn’t just a device. It’s a translation platform that keeps getting better.
Translation is the easy part. Connection is the point
Anyone can convert words from one language to another. A phone can do it. What's hard is keeping the moment alive — the eye contact, the timing, the small jokes that make a real conversation.
TOKI was built to protect those moments. The earbuds are open so you can read the room. The translation happens in your ear, not on a screen between you. You stay present. The other person stays present. The technology disappears.
Every update we ship brings TOKI closer to that goal: a translator you forget is there, and a conversation that feels like it never needed translating.
— Built by a team that travels too much and got tired of waiting to be understood
