Hi everyone. I'm Matteo, founder of hitoo.
We're building real-time translation that keeps not just your words, but your tone, intent and your own voice across over 50+ languages.
It started when I watched a deal collapse because a warm message came out sounding cold in another language.
We launch here on July 21, and I'd love to build it with you.
@matteo_pelosi - This tool is definitely something that people need today as they work across regions. For me personally it would be useful maybe 2 or 3 times a year. There is no pricing model details I could easily find on the site. Is it a monthly/annual subscription or will there be pay as you go options?
Best of luck with the launch.
@codeandsea Thanks Brent, really appreciate you taking the time to try it out.
You’ve hit on something important: the “2–3 times a year” use case is exactly why pricing shouldn’t force a subscription on everyone. We’re planning pay-as-you-go as the default — you pay for the minutes you actually translate, no commitment — alongside subscription tiers for teams and heavy users who want predictable billing.
You’re also right that the pricing isn’t clear on the site yet, and that’s on us. We’ll get a proper pricing page up so people don’t have to ask. In the meantime, happy to walk you through the numbers directly if useful.
Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback and the kind words on the launch. 🙏
@matteo_pelosi - Thanks for the clarification on pricing, your model totally works for me.
Tried it on a call with a Japanese client and was honestly shocked how well it picked up on tone, not just the words. The fact that it keeps sounding like me across languages makes it feel way less awkward than other translators I've used.
@ramazan779050 This means a lot, thank you, Ramazan. Preserving tone and keeping your own voice across languages is the whole reason we built AURIS the way we did — most tools treat translation as just swapping words, and the result always feels a bit robotic and awkward. Hearing that it made a real client call feel natural is exactly the signal we're chasing.
Thanks again for trying it live on a real call. 🙏
Tried it with a friend who speaks Japanese and the tone actually came through instead of sounding flat or robotic. The voice preservation bit is wild, it really does sound like me but in another language.
@melahat45588 Love hearing this, thank you, Melahat! Japanese is one of the trickier languages to get tone right on, so the fact that it came through instead of sounding flat is exactly what we've been working toward. And yes — the voice preservation is the part that still feels a little magic to us too. Thanks so much for trying it out with your friend! 🙏
The voice preservation across 50+ languages is genuinely impressive, most translation tools flatten you into a generic accent but this keeps you sounding like you.
@veli342040 Thank you, Veli; that's the exact problem we set out to solve. Getting flattened into a generic accent is what makes most translation feel impersonal — you stop sounding like a person and start sounding like a tool. Keeping your identity intact across 50+ languages is the hard part, and it's the part we care about most. Really appreciate you noticing it. 🙏
finally a translator that gets how my voice actually sounds when im tired or excited, the tone preservation feels way more human than other tools ive tried in 50+ langs
@bayrakllar20010 This is exactly what we were hoping people would feel — thank you Mahmut. Tone is where most translators fall flat: they get the words right but flatten out everything that makes you sound like you, tired or excited or anything in between. That human quality across 50+ languages is the whole point of AURIS, so hearing it land means a lot. Thanks for putting it through its paces! 🙏
