DeepL CEO Says Real-Time Voice Translation Is Cutting Meeting Times From Two Hours to 30 Minutes
At the HumanX AI Conference in San Francisco, DeepL founder and CEO Jarek Kutylowski laid out a vision for how AI-powered translation is moving beyond text — and into live, spoken conversation — with implications for how global businesses operate across language barriers.
- DeepL bets big on real-time voice translation, calling it a "magical moment" that enables fluent business negotiations across languages
- AI translation now competes with human translators on quality, accuracy, and cultural nuance, driving "explosive growth"
- Enterprise customers report dramatic efficiency gains, with multilingual meetings that once took two hours finishing in 30 minutes
- DeepL is targeting the world's largest companies, aiming to redesign entire translation workflows from human-based to AI-native
The basics: DeepL launched in 2017 — before the current AI boom — on the thesis that translation would be one of the first problems artificial intelligence could solve at enterprise quality. The company has since grown into a major AI translation platform serving global businesses.
