Timekettle Brings Breakthrough Translation Tech to META

Timekettle, a leader in AI-powered translation earbuds, is making its mark at Channel Summit META this year as it explores new partnerships and expands its footprint across the region.

Founded in 2016 with dual headquarters in Los Angeles and Shenzhen, Timekettle has revolutionised the translation space with its proprietary Babel OS—an AI simultaneous interpretation system designed to match the capabilities of human interpreters. This innovation powers Timekettle’s award-winning translation earbuds, which are widely used in business, travel, education, and healthcare. Today, Timekettle is one of the world’s top-selling translation earbud brand and holds the largest market share globally in the category.

Dorothy Cui, Channel Sales Director at Timekettle, commented: “Our goal at Channel Summit META is to connect with high-quality distributors and partners who share our belief in breaking down language barriers through technology. We’re also here to learn—about the region, the needs of local consumers, and how we can better adapt to them.”

The company’s ambitions go beyond product sales. Timekettle is actively expanding its language coverage, building regional shopping sites, and planning to recruit local talent to support a more localised brand presence. Their newest earbuds featuring Babel OS offer fast, accurate, and natural conversations in real-time—unlocking seamless cross-language communication.

With a strong focus on the UAE and Saudi Arabia, where customer feedback has already been promising, Timekettle sees the MENA region as one of its key strategic markets for 2025 and beyond. The summit marks a shift from their traditional online-first approach toward a more regionally embedded strategy involving resellers, localisation, and in-market support.

“As we continue to grow globally, we’re very aware of the changing dynamics of international markets," adds Cui. "This region offers real potential—not only for market expansion, but for building a more resilient, diversified global presence.”
