Most real-time translation tools still depend heavily on cloud infrastructure.

We wanted to build something different.

PolyTalk is an open-source, privacy-first platform for real-time speech-to-speech translation built for multilingual communication across meetings, live audio, browser tabs, and voice conversations.

Built around: — low-latency voice processing — self-hosted deployment — real-time multilingual communication — flexible open infrastructure teams can adapt to their own workflows

The goal is simple: make multilingual communication feel natural without giving up control over conversations and communication data.

The open-source core officially releases on May 28, 2026.

Most translation tools today still rely heavily on cloud processing. That means conversations, meetings, and voice data often pass through third-party servers, something that doesn’t always align with how teams want to handle communication.

That’s one of the reasons we started building PolyTalk.

PolyTalk is an open-source platform focused on real-time voice translation with a strong focus on privacy, self-hosting, and transparent infrastructure.

PolyTalk believes multilingual communication should feel natural and instant, without requiring users to give up control of their data.

The platform is being built around a few core ideas:

real-time voice translation

self-hosted deployment

multilingual communication

open-source flexibility

fast and natural translation workflows

PolyTalk is still in its early phase, and we’re actively building and improving the platform in public alongside the community.

We’re currently opening registrations for people who want:

early access,

product updates,

testing opportunities,

and a chance to help shape the platform as development continues.

If you’re interested in open-source tools, AI-powered communication, privacy-first software, or the future of multilingual technology, we’d love to have you early in the journey.

The future of communication should be instant, multilingual, and private.
