👋 Hey Product Hunt fam! We're thrilled to announce the launch of Byrdhouse - a multilingual video conferencing application that helps teams and individuals to communicate and collaborate across 100+ languages with AI-powered real-time translation and meeting notes.🌎🚀 As a first-generation immigrant, I know firsthand how frustrating it can be to navigate language barriers. I was laughed at and picked on for not speaking English fluently in high school. And to add to the challenge, my family speaks four different languages, making remote conversations a real struggle. After working on multilingual teams for 10 years, I've seen how difficult it is for people to understand and confidently express themselves in different languages. 🫶 That's why we created Byrdhouse - to make multilingual communication seamless and painless for individuals and global teams. Remote communication products aren’t built for individuals and global teams who speak different languages. The current solutions of hiring interpreters or relying heavily on email and written exchange are expensive and time-consuming. We want to change the status quo of “painful multilingual communication experience”. 💜 Our AI speech translation model improves over time as you use the platform more often and flag any wrong translations📈. So let's give it a shot, shall we? Try Byrdhouse for free with our 10-minute speech translation offer. Just follow these simple steps: 1️⃣Click to try for free on our homepage: https://byrdhouseapp.com/ 2️⃣Build a nest and choose the language you'll be speaking. 3️⃣Invite someone to join your nest by sharing the link. 4️⃣Start chatting in different languages with our AI-powered real-time translation in captions or dubbing. Here are some cool features you'll get with Byrdhouse: 💬Seamless multilingual communication experience with AI-powered real-time speech translation in captions. 🐣Report incorrect speech translation to help us fine-tune the most accurate AI speech translation model. 🗣️Use the dub functionality to add translated audio, powered by human-like voices during your 1:1 calls. 🎙️Record your call, share and download the recordings and translated meeting notes with team members and decision-makers in different languages. 📝Send translated text messages. 📱We support all desktop and mobile browsers. And, as always, we welcome your thoughts and feedback to help us improve Byrdhouse. Remember, the internet may connect devices, but language connects people. Join us in creating a more inclusive and diverse world, one conversation at a time 🐦‍🔥

🧐 Good find
The inability to communicate with my parents-in-law has been a major pain point for me ever since getting married. Byrdhouse not only resolves this issue, but delivers lasting benefits that I didn’t anticipate. Now, instead of sheepishly chiming in a few times as my wife conducts 99% of our long-distance conversations with her parents, I’m able to have full conversations with them on my own without the need for my wife to constantly pause and translate for us. In addition to being able to communicate seamlessly now, I feel closer to my wife’s parents than I had ever imagined. Byrdhouse is a truly essential app for multicultural families who have the desire to improve communication and understanding of one another.

@jacobgreenway Thanks for the message - I tried it with a Romanian friend and it's amazing! I sent Snow all my feedback. Congrats to you as well!!
Snow Huo
@jacobgreenway @eliza_popa Thank you for your support and for testing and sending such thoughtful feedback! The team has read through it very carefully. We are making improvements to the onboarding experience and translation accuracy mentioned in the comments. I'd love to show you our next version and learn your thoughts! Also, do you know you can flag or correct the wrong translation to us by clicking on the red flag? See the demo here: https://youtu.be/QZkEmE63Irs?t=71. This way, we can correct them and make it more accurate :)
Eliza Popa
@jacobgreenway @snow_huo my absolute pleasure!! Would love to try the new version, of course! re: flag. I found out about it after I ended the conversation but great callout for next time!! 😅 Will be sending this to a few family members who desperately need to communicate but, you know, language barriers :)

💡 Bright idea
This looks amazing and deserves more votes for sure. Can it also translate sound in real-time into another language but with the original voice?
Snow Huo
@igorpavlov Thanks for the support and great question! Yes we provide voice translation. See a quick demo here: https://youtu.be/QZkEmE63Irs?t=30. As you can see, it's not in the original voice, but we are looking into having that as an option for users in the near future :)
Jacob Greenway
Hi @igorpavlov ! We currently support audio dubbing in 1:1 calls with pre-trained AI voices (speech-to-speech), but voice cloning for the dub feature is something in the works. Stay tuned!
Kazuki Nakayasiki

Dzianis Yatsenka
Hi! Good luck on the launch! What about the quality of translations? Some people have strong accents so do you have problems with it?
Jacob Greenway
Hi @dzianis_yatsenka! We actually do have support for accented languages! English has support for several accents listed in our site, for example English (India), English (Ireland), English (Tanzania), English (Kenya), English (UK) among many others! We also have support for regional dialects for Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and others. To see the full list you can check the language select dropdown when you sign in at https://byrdhouseapp.com.
Dzianis Yatsenka
@jacobgreenway you did a great job!
Trisha Greenway

Michael Sajor
I'm super excited for this. We have family and friends that speak multiple languages where English isn't their first language. Looking forward to seeing this product grow and connect us all!
Snow Huo
@michael_sajor Thank you Mike! Appreciate you and are grateful that we can help add value to your family & friends' communication in different languages 🌎 let's take this to the moon 🚀
Ryan Hoover
Love seeing this live, @snow_huo. The world has gotten so much smaller because of the internet, but language (and cultural) barriers still exist. What's been the biggest learning or surprise so far, Snow?
Snow Huo
@rrhoover hey Ryan! Glad you resonate with our mission 💜 From working with global teams and individuals who struggle with language barriers, we've learned that the current AI translation engine can facilitate 80% accuracy when it comes to non-low-source languages. The other 20% needs to come from fine-tuning the AI open-domain model based on user feedback as well as domain-focused vocabulary. That's why we have been focusing our effort on creating a user feedback loop. This way, our AI speech translation model improves over time as our users use the platform more often and flag any wrong translations📈 Check out a demo here: https://youtu.be/QZkEmE63Irs?t=61
