Inclusivity-Enhancing Campaigns

Timekettle Aims to Break Down Language Barriers in Schools

— July 11, 2024 — Social Good
Timekettle, a leader in AI translator earbuds, is transforming education by breaking down language barriers. This initiative aims to enhance inclusivity in schools. The Olney Independent School District (Olney ISD), which serves a diverse student population including those from Venezuela, Argentina, and Mexico, has introduced Timekettle's X1 AI Interpreter Hub to support students with limited English proficiency. This device, equipped with earbuds, allows for seamless, hands-free conversations and one-tap handheld translation without the need for additional apps or setups.

Teachers at Olney ISD have found the X1 particularly beneficial. It allows them to maintain device visibility while speaking, ensuring accurate lesson translation and giving them confidence that their students understand the material. Elementary Principal Matt Caffey praises the X1 for its real-time content delivery and alleviation of language barriers while also eliminating the need for third-party involvement.
