For added security, an "Alert card" with your information (picture, location, time, voice recording) is sent out.

 

As long as you are wearing Echo Ring it shares and tracks your location after your emergency voice alert has been sent.

We have always been interested in travel but unfortunately, there were many situations where we couldn't communicate with people because of language barriers. Unfortunately, translation apps that existed at the time did not provide efficient solutions. Many required internet to work, which you may not always have access to while visiting various countries. At the same time, constantly having a large phone between you and another person’s face creates an additional barrier between communicators. By creating a device that would allow you to communicate with anyone, anywhere, we can move one step forward toward eliminating communication barriers between people and allow them to connect with one another instantaneously.

Today, we see that people are constantly glued to their smartphones. As a result, we wanted to create a device that would make us less reliant on smartphones and let us control devices, communicate, and access information easier and in a more natural way. Our vision was to create a small discreet & stylish device that allows you communicate and access information like never before.

Our team is lead by Vignesh Narasaraju, head of software and Clemens Klante, head of hardware. 

Crowdfunding is where we will be able to connect with and gain support from a community of people who share our passion for innovation through tech.

 

 

 

 

 

How is my personal data secure?

We respect your privacy. Nothing is sent to the cloud before the trigger words are spoken. The trigger word is processed and embedded into the device.

To ensure that your data is secure, Echo Ring uses SSL encryption to secure personal data sent to and from the cloud. Digital certificates are used to authenticate devices and we use 256-bit AES encryption in the cloud.

How do I use my Echo Ring?

Echo Ring is very easy to use! Download the app and connect it to your phone and accounts. Press the button or say the wake work "ok echo" to activate the ring. 

For translation: select two languages in the app. Press the button and start talking. After 2 seconds, Echo Ring will translate your sentences out loud. Now the other person speaks his language and you can hear the translation. 

Background noise?

Echo Ring has a noise canceling microphone and a noise canceling algorithm, so it understands even if there is background noise. However, your voice must be louder than the background noise

Do I need my phone?

Yes, your phone must be connected to your Echo Ring in order for it to work. .

App compatibility?

It works with iOS 9+ and Android 4.3 smartphones. The app connects to wifi as many of the services are built into the cloud. The software is proprietary.  

Does Echo Ring come with a warranty?

We stand firmly behind the quality of our products. It comes with a one year parts and labor warranty.

How does it adapt to my personal habits?

You create your profile the first time you use it. You have the option to enter your address for work and home. It gets traffic information from Google maps and here.com.

Does it understand dialects?

All languages have different dialects. Echo Ring is designed to understand common dialects. However, thick dialects can disrupt this and cause improper translations.

 

Is Echo Ring Waterproof?

Yes, it is waterproof up to one meter (3 feet). However, we don’t recommend that you swim or shower with it.
