Saydi

Jonathan Scanzi and his team looked at the translation industry—$50 billion globally and still dominated by clunky enterprise software that costs an arm and a leg—and said "we can do this better." They built Saydi, a real-time voice translation platform that works for both personal and professional use. It supports 60+ languages, integrates with Google Meet, Zoom, and Teams via Chrome extension, and can handle everything from daily standups to global summits. The pricing is wild: $9 for 10 hours. That's cheaper than a Netflix subscription and it might actually make your international meetings functional.

What makes Saydi different is the AI Context Engine. You can input meeting details, keywords, and industry-specific terminology—up to 50 custom terms—and the translation actually understands your business logic instead of just doing word-for-word conversions. It auto-detects languages, labels who's speaking in the notes, and offers presets for Tech, Sales, and Events. They also built DocTranslate for instant document localization and QR code event support so hundreds of people can join a session in seconds. Near-zero latency means you can actually have a back-and-forth conversation without awkward pauses. This is what live translation should have been this whole time.
