Palabra AI, the company behind sub-second speech-to-speech translation, announced the acquisition of Talo and the launch of a new user-facing product that brings Palabra’s technology directly to everyday conversations. The acquisition marks Palabra’s expansion from infrastructure into a full product ecosystem that brings its core technology directly to everyday communication.
With the integration of Talo’s team and technology, Palabra is launching a suite of five real-time translation solutions that make global communication effortless across every format.
The lineup includes:
– Video Calls, where a Palabra bot seamlessly joins meetings to interpret conversations or provide each participant with a personal, real-time translation stream,
– Webinars, for live sessions where every listener gets a personal, real-time translation stream,
– Streams & broadcasts, enabling sub-second multilingual translation for creators and media platforms,
– Events, enabling audiences to listen to real-time interpretation straight from their phones while sitting in front of a live stage,
– Palabra API Platform, which remains at the core of this ecosystem, the developer layer powering custom voice translation across enterprise tools and consumer applications.
“Talo built one of the most elegant and convenient interfaces on top of our technology,” said Artem Kukharenko, Co-founder and CEO of Palabra AI. “By joining forces, we can finally make real-time translation not just possible, but accessible we expect our new suite to help millions of people overcome language barriers in business, education, and everyday life.”

The new Palabra product suite is powered by the company’s proprietary predictive-context translation engine, which begins voicing translations mid-sentence and preserves each speaker’s unique tone, timbre, and rhythm ensuring the translated voice still sounds like the original. The platform currently supports 60+ languages, 3000+ language pairs language pairs, enabling natural conversation across any context.
“Our mission at Talo was to make multilingual communication effortless,” said Anton Selikhov, CEO of Talo, now CPO at Palabra AI. “With Palabra’s real-time voice technology, that vision becomes reality people can finally talk across languages without even thinking about translation.”
Talo’s technology and team will join Palabra to accelerate the launch of new conversational tools powered by the company’s sub-second speech translation engine. The Talo brand will remain temporarily for existing users before transitioning fully into Palabra’s unified platform.
