Introducing Torre:
The Future of Accurate, Private, and Fluid Conversations
Real-time, on-device seamless translations using AI
Being understood is the heart of communication. While translation applications have played a pivotal role in removing language barriers, they often fall short in precision, speed, and privacy. When a translation is off or too slow, the true meaning can easily be lost, leading to a misunderstanding or a lost opportunity to truly connect.
At Useful Sensors, our mission is to create seamless, intuitive interactions for everyone. Our newest device, Torre, is bringing that capability to the challenge of translation.
With Torre, we’ve built a dedicated device that empowers people to communicate naturally, offering fluid, accurate translations that help them connect and be truly understood.
The Future of Seamless Translation
Torre is designed to facilitate effortless communication by displaying translations on the screen as you speak—just like captions or film subtitles. This real-time translation makes conversations smooth and uninterrupted, allowing you to focus on the interaction rather than the technology.
Torre is a dual-screened device with an immersive interface designed for a singular purpose: unlocking language. Users see the translated text of a conversation in real-time in a messaging format that’s familiar to how we communicate across devices. Speak and see a translation as it happens. Less awkward moments or misunderstandings.
The interface is designed around simplicity. Users can clear a current conversation or mute themselves if needed. The end goal of an experience that fades into the background so people can just focus on connecting with one another.
A New Era of Translation
At the heart of Torre is our work in building natural, human-like experiences into everyday devices. Our purpose-built large language mode, Moonshine, empowers Torre to give accurate, real-time translations so speakers can just focus on speaking, listening, and understanding. By honing our model on speech-to-text translation, we achieve rapid and accurate translation without any network connectivity needed.
Imagine family members or friends who have struggled with communication due to language differences. With Torre, they can speak naturally and clearly, without the awkwardness of typing into a device or relying on mobile apps that require network connectivity. Patients, customers, and clients can discuss complex topics with ease, fostering better understanding and collaboration.
Better Translation for Businesses
Miscommunication can be costly for businesses of any size. Torre is here to change that. Whether it’s frontline staff communicating with customers across languages or healthcare professionals ensuring critical information is accurately conveyed, Torre makes it possible to bridge communication gaps without missing a beat. In launching Torre, we’re focused on three core areas:
Legal: Everyone deserves fair access to and treatment by the legal system. Torre can be a critical resource for lawyers, paralegals, and others who work with non-English-speaking clients. It provides real-time, secure translation that is not saved to the device. Clients have peace of mind about the security of their conversations, and legal teams can save the time and expense involved in finding a translator.
Medical: Ensuring patients are heard and understood is at the heart of good medical care. With Torre, doctors, nurses, and other medical staff can more fluidly understand the needs of their non-English-speaking patients—all without dealing with the challenges of network connectivity within a busy environment.
Hospitality: Too often, the joy of travel gets lost in translation. Imagine patrons having a more natural check-in experience with Torre. Lodging establishments won’t need to scramble to find a staff member to translate. Team members can focus directly on customer service thanks to an always-on, secure translator.
We envision a world where small- to medium-sized businesses and large enterprises can operate more efficiently with better translation tools. When customers feel heard and experience a true human connection, everyone benefits.
Privacy at the Core
At Useful Sensors, we believe that privacy should never be compromised. Torre operates completely offline, with no data transmitted to external servers. This air-gapped design ensures that your conversations remain private and secure, with no risk of data being used for model training or analysis by third parties.
People shouldn’t have to think about how their conversation may be used. As the product and our software services evolve, we remain committed to this core principle of privacy.
Unlocking Better Translation for All
We want Torre to be accessible and affordable so that businesses can experience a better translation experience. Torre is available today to lease for $100 monthly
directly from Useful Sensors.
Torre is just the beginning. We aim to create devices that are simple to use, fast, secure, and focused on enhancing human connection. We aim for people to experience seamless, accurate translation that operates entirely on-device, ensuring reliability from anywhere.
When it comes to communication, understanding is everything. We are excited to see how people will experience new levels of connection with Torre!
