About

Being fluent is not the same as being understood.

Kanutus exists so that the language you grew up with is never the reason a teammate goes quiet, a client walks away or a great hire is turned down.

The problem, in real life

Three calls that happen every day.

  • A multicultural team in a meeting room with remote colleagues on a wall screen.

    A team and its quietest engineer

    A daily stand-up in English. Kasia, in Warsaw, is the best engineer on the team and says the least — not because she has nothing to add, but because translating in her head costs more than it's worth at 9 a.m.

  • A recruiter conducting a video interview at her desk, notebook beside the laptop.

    A manager and a new hire

    Daniel runs a team across Lisbon, Lagos and Manila. His new hire is excellent on paper and silent on calls. In week six they finally have the conversation that should have happened in week one — in her language.

  • A saleswoman presenting on a video call from a modern office.

    A seller and a buyer

    Marina's demo is good. The prospect in Osaka follows most of it, nods politely and asks two of the eight questions he had. The follow-up goes to a local competitor who simply spoke his language.

Mission

Make the spoken part as easy as the written part.

Translation tools solved text years ago. Live speech stayed awkward — bots in the meeting, subtitles nobody reads, interpreters only the largest companies can afford.

We built Kanutus so that you talk, and they hear you in their language, in your voice, inside the app you were already using. No plugin, nothing for the other side to install.

What makes it different

Four things we refused to compromise on.

  • Your own voice

    Thirty seconds of recording and your translated speech keeps your timbre and rhythm. The room hears you, not a generic narrator.

  • Idioms like a native

    "Beat a dead horse" becomes the expression a native would use, not a sentence about horses. Meaning first, words second.

  • About a second

    Each sentence is translated as you finish it, so the conversation keeps its pace instead of waiting for you to stop.

  • Any call app

    Kanutus is a microphone, not a platform. Zoom, Meet, Teams, WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, your phone system — on Windows, macOS and Linux.

What we hold to

  • Your voice stays yours

    Only you can create a voice from your recording, and only for your own speech. Delete it whenever you want.

  • Say it's translated

    We ask every user to tell the room when they are using translation or a synthesised voice. Trust is the whole product.

  • Audio is not kept

    Call audio exists only while it is being translated. It is never stored afterwards or used to train models.
