Hello Product Hunt! Excited to be here 🚀

Hi everyone!

I'm Lakshmi Narayanan, I'm currently building TalkNWear, an AI-powered real-time translation wearable that aims to make conversations seamless across different languages.

I'm passionate about AI, startups, wearable technology, and building products that solve real-world problems. Right now, we're in the prototype stage, validating our software while developing the wearable hardware.

I'm here to learn from fellow makers, share my startup journey, and connect with founders, engineers, designers, and anyone interested in AI or hardware startups.

🌍 Why did we start building TalkNWear?

Language barriers still make everyday conversations difficult whether you're traveling, visiting a hospital, attending a business meeting, or simply meeting someone who speaks a different language.

We believe communication should feel natural, not interrupted by pulling out a phone or typing into an app.

That's why we're building TalkNWear: an AI-powered wearable that aims to translate conversations in real time.

We're still early, and we'd love to hear:
When was the last time a language barrier affected you?
What features would make a translation wearable genuinely useful?
