FamilyConnect™
Because "I love you" shouldn't need a translator.
Real-time translation for families separated by distance and language.
The Vision
Language Should Never Separate Families
Grandmother in rural Tibet speaks Tibetan. Grandson studying medicine in Sydney hears English.
He replies in English. She hears Tibetan.
Not someday. Not with a professional interpreter on Zoom.
Right now. Just the two of them. Finally talking.
Why This Matters
Third-generation immigrants who never learned their grandparents' language. Refugee families scattered across continents. Mixed-language marriages where the in-laws can only smile and nod. These aren't edge cases. They're hundreds of millions of families.
I've watched my own family struggle with this. The conversations that never happen. The stories that die with the generation that can't tell them. The grandchildren who will never hear their grandmother's voice telling them she's proud of them, in words they understand.
FamilyConnect™ is my attempt to fix that. Real-time audio and video translation for the calls that matter most.
You should just notice your grandmother's smile."
Real Stories, Real Families
How It Works (The Non-Technical Version)
You Talk. They Understand. That's It.
No apps to install. No accounts to create for grandma.
She answers a video call. She speaks her language. Magic happens.
For the Person Who Just Wants It to Work
- Start a call through CareHub (or receive one)
- Speak normally in your language
- They hear you in their language, with your voice
- They reply in their language
- You hear them in your language
That's genuinely it. The hard part is hidden. As it should be.
For the Technical Person Who Needs to Know
Fine. Speech-to-text, neural machine translation optimized for conversational context, text-to-speech with voice cloning. Latency under 500ms target. Works over spotty connections because we built it for people in rural Tibet, not just folks with fiber optic.
There you go. Now go call your grandmother.
