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.

“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.
