How it works
Real-time translation,
spoken in your ear.
Across the Harmonix range, live AI translation lets you talk with almost anyone, almost anywhere — without looking down at a phone. Here’s how it works.
The basics
Three things happen at once.
- 01
Pair the companion app
Your SonaVue glasses or TravelerAI earbuds connect over Bluetooth to the AI companion app — included with a lifetime translation subscription. Translation runs in the app, so the hardware stays light and effortless to wear.
- 02
Speak, and it translates
Choose two languages — yours and theirs. As you talk, the app turns speech into text, translates it, and plays the result back. Order a coffee, ask for directions, or hold a full conversation — no phrasebook required.
- 03
Hear it without shutting out the world
SonaVue and TravelerAI are open-ear — sound reaches you without sealing off your ears. You hear the translation and still take in the street, the café, and the person in front of you.
The companion app
The intelligence lives in the app.
Translation isn’t built into the glasses or earbuds — it runs in the AI companion app on your phone, included with a lifetime translation subscription. That keeps the hardware light, and it means translation keeps improving over time through app updates, with no new device to buy.
Download Ear Dance (iOS) or Ear Dance (Android), pair your device once, and it’s ready the next time you travel.
Some translation features rely on the cloud, so the app stores and processes spoken input to return a translation.

Before you travel
It needs a connection.
Because the smartest translation happens in the cloud, the companion app needs an internet connection — Wi-Fi or mobile data — to translate in real time.
For travellers, a local eSIM or hotel Wi-Fi is usually all you need. Connect once, and you can converse across the whole trip.
Stay present
You still hear the room.
Open-ear audio is the point. A translation arriving in your ear never cuts you off from the conversation, the market, or the person in front of you. You stay in the moment — simply with fewer language barriers in the way.

Audio glasses or earbuds — both translate, both stay open-ear.
