Why I Built Verbaico: Breaking Language Barriers with AI

Language should never be a barrier to learning, working, or connecting with others.

Living in a multilingual environment, I've seen how difficult it can be to follow conversations, attend online classes, or participate in meetings when people speak different languages.

As an AI engineer, I wanted to build something practical that could make communication easier for everyone. That's how Verbaico started.

Verbaico is an AI-powered real-time transcription and translation platform developed by Aivanta AS, a Norwegian AI startup. It supports speech transcription in over 80 languages and accents, and live translation into more than 120 languages.

Unlike traditional meeting transcription tools, Verbaico works directly in your browser without requiring a meeting bot or audio recording. It can be used on desktop and mobile devices for online classes, international meetings, travel, and everyday conversations.

One of my main goals was to make advanced AI translation technology affordable and accessible. That's why Verbaico offers free minutes for new users, flexible subscriptions, and pay-as-you-go options.

Verbaico is now available, and I'm continuously improving it based on real user feedback.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, and experiences with language barriers.
