AI can speak Spanish. But does it speak your Spanish?
To us, dialects aren’t bugs, they’re blueprints. Our translation tools are built to honor identity, culture, and community.
Curious? Let’s talk.

Most AI still treats languages as one-size-fits-all. Not ours.
We're testing our translation tool with native Spanish speakers across regions because respecting dialects means respecting the people who speak them.
