Big congrats to our friends Josef Dunne and Mayel de Borniol at Babelverse for being chosen as winners of the LeWeb Startup Competition.

Babelverse is the first application for real-time voice translation, otherwise known as interpretation. Babelverse relies on really people as interpreters to preserve the quality, context, cultural relevance, tone and emotion of the spoken word.

To ensure high quality, listeners must rate their interpreter after each session. Upon make a request, they will be assigned a personalized ranking of interpreters that are the best fit (automatically taking into account language pair, availability, ratings, expertise, accent…).

Babelverse uses Tropo to allow users to access their system via any cellphone or landline.
