Spēk opens its translator to other apps: Spēk Connect lets any travel app add voice translation in a user’s own voice, in ten minutes

ArtemisWorx launches a developer integration and a design partner program for Spēk, the live translator that speaks in the user’s own cloned voice. One link puts the whole product inside a partner’s app, with consent, voice cloning and 22 languages already handled. Five design partners get it free for a year.

ArtemisWorx LLC today opened Spēk, its live translator that speaks in the user’s own cloned voice, to other developers. Spēk Connect is a one-link integration: a travel app, a tour guide app, a hotel app or a language app can hand a traveler to Spēk with the two languages already set, and get them back when they are done. The first integration, the Solo trip app by Roteiro AI, has shipped it since September. A design partner program, open today at spek2me.com/developers, offers five developers the integration free for twelve months, with the founder on the integration and a say in what gets built next.

AI has put a translator inside every travel app. What none of them do is let the traveler sound like themselves. Spēk records a minute of a person’s voice once; from then on, when they hold a button and talk, the other person hears their words in their language, in their voice. It works across a table on one phone, between two phones anywhere, hands-free, and on signs and menus through the camera. Building that takes months of work on microphones, audio routing, consent law and voice vendors that an indie developer would rather not do. Spēk Connect makes it an afternoon.

How it works

  • One link. The partner builds a link with the traveler’s language, the destination language and the app’s name. Tapping it opens Spēk on that conversation. No SDK, no keys, no build step.
  • The installed app opens when it is there. On a phone with the Spēk app installed, the link opens the app itself; on any other phone it opens the web app in the browser. The partner does not need to know which.
  • Embedded in place. In a web app, a desktop view or a demo phone, the same link runs inside a frame. Spēk lays itself out for the frame, and “Back to my trip” returns the traveler to the partner’s page.
  • Pick the languages from what you already know. The destination language comes from the trip, the booking or the itinerary; if the partner does not know it, Spēk asks the traveler.
  • Attributed by name. Every conversation that starts from a partner link is counted to that partner, which is how usage is reported.

Compliance, handled

Voice cloning is biometric data, and the rules around it are strict. Spēk carries them so the partner does not have to:

  • Consent before any recording. An explicit, unticked consent screen in the traveler’s own language, in 23 languages, inside Spēk and not removable by an integration.
  • Adults only, own voice only. Voice cloning is for adults, and a person may only clone their own voice. Stock voices cover everyone else.
  • Used for their words, nothing else. A voice speaks only that person’s own translated words. Never sold, never used to train other models.
  • Delete, report, block. Inside the app, with reports acted on within 24 hours.
  • Paper for the partner’s lawyers. A data processing agreement and a one-page insert for the partner’s privacy policy. The same flows have passed Google Play’s review and are in Apple’s.

“Every AI travel app is adding a translator, and they all sound like the same robot. We spent a year on the part nobody wants to build: your own voice, on a phone, inside a browser, with the consent done right. Now a developer can have all of it with one link. We would rather be honest that we are early than quote a user number, so the first five partners get it free, and they get me.”

Design partner program

Five partners, free for a year. Partners receive Spēk Connect free for twelve months, the founder on the integration, a say in what is built next, and ArtemisWorx’s marketing pointed at them. In return, ArtemisWorx asks that partners ship Spēk to real travelers within 60 days, let their results be published, and take one call a month. Applications open today at spek2me.com/developers.

What comes next

An embedded widget (the partner’s screen, Spēk’s engine, with one Spēk identity so a traveler’s voice works in every app that has Spēk), Capacitor and React Native packages, and an API for teams that build their own interface. None of these are available today; they are built with the design partners, in the order partners ask for them.

Availability

Spēk Connect is available today at no cost to any developer. The developer page, in 23 languages, is at spek2me.com/developers. Spēk itself is on Google Play and the web, with the iPhone app in App Store review.
