New venture in the Travis "go global" adventure coming soon!

Founder - Travis Mobile

Tremendously proud of the Travis team and all supporters with the Travis Translator - bootstrapped, launched via Indiegogo pre-sales $1.8m, and shipped, all within 3 months from ideation!

Founder

After successfully founding Travis in Jan 2017, we took the pocket translator concept from ideation to successful launch & shipment within 9 months. By the 11th month we've achieved a milestone of 50K units sold, with clear insights on proof of market validation. Travis now moves into its next growth phase with product line expansion. As VP New Products, I will be able to again focus my 20 years of industry & product experience on creating exciting new Travis products for our users, and distributors. Products that will bring translation and multilingual conversations to more people in a wide variety scenarios! Looking forward to everyone's support.

Project Tigrinya : calling computational linguists, community supporters, professionals & friends, let's digitize Tigrinya
---
As founder of Travis (the Translator), we've discovered huge inequalities between commonly used languages and lesser-resourced languages. It concerns us very much that the digital divide created an even bigger digital language divide. 

As we move forward in the digital age with human interfaces, voice interaction, natural language processing, artificial intelligence, more than 50% of the world's population will be disadvantaged by the digital language divide inequality. We alone cannot solve this. Together the technology and linguistic industry can. The technology is available, our partners are want to, and there's a need to. That's why we've started Travis Foundation.

We’re on a mission to empower people by bringing lesser resourced and underprivileged languages into the digital world. Everyone has the right to be understood - whether we speak a common or minority language, whether we are in our country of origin or on the other side of the world. Communication and understanding are core aspects of being a human and Travis Foundation is ready to close the gap of language inequality and preserve culture.
