No More Language Barriers: Inside The Tech Behind The Ambassador With CEO Andrew Ochoa

That Tech Pod

We’re on vacation this week! While we recharge, enjoy this “best of” episode from our first year back in 2021. We’ll be back next week with a special new episode featuring PlusNXT!

Today (June 8, 2021) on That Tech Pod, Laura and Gabi sit down with Andrew Ochoa, CEO of Waverly Labs, to unpack the tech behind The Ambassador, a wearable translator built to remove language barriers. They dig into how real-time translation works, the hardware and software that power it, and where it shines in the real world, from travel and classrooms to business meetings. Andrew shares what accuracy really means, the tradeoffs between speed and quality, how the team thinks about privacy, and what might be next for multilingual communication.
