About
Built by Engineers Who Ship
We're building the future of real-time multilingual communication — starting with gaming.
Our Mission
Breaking Language Barriers in Global Gaming
Language should never decide who you team up with. Unitra AI brings AI-powered, real-time voice translation straight into the game — whether you're coordinating with teammates across the globe, streaming to an international audience, or meeting people in a lobby who speak a different language.
We combine on-device speech recognition with cloud-scale machine translation tuned for gaming vocabulary, delivering end-to-end translations fast enough for real-time play.
