Thoughts? We’d love your feedback!

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Feedback from our community is at the center of everything we do. That’s why we reached out to our Reg A+ campaign investors to get their thoughts on what we’re doing well and where there’s opportunity for growth. 

Not only did we get actionable insights, but 94.3% of investors said that they’d consider re-investing in Waverly Labs. That’s the best compliment we could receive. It confirms what we already knew: Language barriers are a major challenge in business that can be overcome with our technology. It also tells us that our investors trust that we’re capable of solving this problem. 

Rest assured, we don’t take this responsibility lightly. Here are a couple of our key takeaways:

• A vast majority of investors mentioned our cutting edge technology as the reason for investing. Staying at the forefront of and continuing to drive innovation in live translation technology will always be our top priority.

• Many expressed interest in becoming brand ambassadors and staying more informed about our upcoming plans. We recently opened a private beta test to our investors for a product we’re developing. This is the first in a series of opportunities we’re creating for our investors to contribute to Waverly Labs’ success.

Thanks again for your continued support! As always, if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to reach out to us at support@waverlylabs.com.

Last week, we shared that we crossed $10MM in lifetime sales and some of our past highlights that helped us get to where we are. This week, we’d like to share the details of the final push that got us there. 

As we ran our monthly numbers at the end of June, we saw that we were so close to hitting $10MM in sales and set the goal to do so in July. There was only one problem: Historically, July is not a good sales month. Between 2016 and 2020, our gross sales saw an average decrease of 21% from June to July each year. This is an industry-wide trend for retail and DTC brands as shoppers are typically on vacation and spending less time shopping. So we had some work ahead of us in order to reach our goal.

Here’s what we did:

• Kicked off the month with a 25% off 4th of July Sale. We promoted through our email list, social channels, and shifted our monthly ads budget to increase impressions during the sale.

• We did some price sensitivity testing. After the success of the sale, we permanently dropped the price by 10%. We’d had some hypotheses that our price wasn’t fully optimized yet, so we took this opportunity to experiment. 

• We ran our first tests in audience segmentation through our email channels. We increased email open rates by 233% and our click rates by 67% in one of those segments. 

The results:

• During the sale, we saw an 846% increase in sales WoW.

• For the whole month, we saw an 116% increase in sales MoM.

• Excluding the sale, we saw a 19% increase in sales and a 43% increase in conversions MoM.

What we learned:

• While the sale clearly boosted our numbers, the price drop following it continued to sustain higher conversions. Though it’s still a small sample size, it does imply that our audience has some degree of price sensitivity and we will continue to test it.

• Our email list is a powerful tool—it brought in 40% of our July sales. We’re continuing to develop our audience segmentation strategy more and more each month.

There’s still so much more to do and we can’t wait to dive deeper into our marketing strategies as we continue to grow our brand. As always, we welcome questions or feedback from our community. Please reach out to us at investor@waverlylabs.com.

If you haven’t invested yet, now is the perfect time to do so. We have some exciting developments in the pipeline that we can’t wait to share with our community. 

If you’re on the fence, check out our most recent webinar with one of our lead investors Michael Casella, founder and managing director at Partnership Capital Ventures. You can read about it or watch the whole thing here.

As of last week, we have officially achieved over $10MM in lifetime sales! What a journey it has been! As we look toward what’s to come in the future, we can’t help but look back on some of the milestones that got us to where we are today.

• Creating the world’s first translating earbud, Pilot, in 2016.

• Launching a crowdfunding campaign and becoming the third most funded tech campaign on Indiegogo, raising over $4.4MM!

• Raised $1.7MM through Indiegogo and equity crowdfunding to develop the Ambassador Interpreter, a translation device designed for professionals and teams.

We can’t thank you—our investor community—enough. We truly couldn’t have gotten here without you. Your continued support allows us to keep pushing the limits of translation technology and finally eliminate language barriers!

If you haven’t yet, now is the perfect time to invest. We have some exciting projects in the pipeline that you won’t want to miss out on!

Listening to our customers, investors, and followers is at the core of who we are as a company. 

We’re constantly seeking feedback and we’ve been fortunate to have an engaged community ready and eager to provide it every step of the way. Many of our decisions, from developing the Ambassador Interpreter for the professional user to the monthly features we release, are direct results of what we’re hearing our customers want and need to effectively break down language barriers.

This month’s new features are a perfect example of that. 

1. Recent Languages allows the user to access their most recently used languages quickly and easily, streamlining the user experience and getting to the conversations faster.

2. Natural Pause gives the user more time to breathe or think without getting interrupted by the speech translation, more closely resembling natural speech patterns. 

Read more about our new features here.

We’re thankful to have built a community so invested in continuing to improve our product. It tells us that we’re working to solve a worthwhile problem and that we’re well on our way to doing so—with your help. 

With all that said, if you ever have any questions or feedback, we want to hear from you! Reach out to us at support@waverlylabs.com.

Can you believe the year is almost over? We sure can’t. We’ve been busy this year and it’s paying off. 

As the world starts to open again and people get back to traveling internationally, we’re starting to see sales pick up as well. In Q2, we saw a 79% increase in sales compared to the same time last year—a welcome indication that business is getting back on track. 

Additionally, we launched our first ad campaign in June since last year and we’re happy to report a 27% increase in month over month sales showing early signs of promise on our new sales strategy. In fact, we’re quickly approaching $10MM in lifetime gross sales! 

And we’re not stopping here. We have big plans for Q3 including new product features, a new sales channel, and beta testing a brand new product! 

If you’ve been waiting, now is the perfect time to invest and join an award-winning team on our journey to breaking down language barriers!

We’ve made it even easier for our customers to experience the Ambassador Interpreter by adding Amazon Pay as a payment option in our online store!

Amazon Pay makes it simple for millions of customers around the globe to checkout using information already stored in their Amazon account. Not only does this serve our customers by making their checkout process smoother, but it also has the potential to increase our online conversions.

In addition to this, last week we launched our Instagram and Facebook shops. These two new sales channels means our organic content can become shoppable, allowing our social media community to shop the Ambassador Interpreter without leaving the apps! 

We’re very excited about these new additions to our sales and marketing strategy. We’ll keep you updated as we see how these tactics impact our sales!

This week, our CEO Andrew Ochoa appeared as a guest on That Tech Pod, a podcast that features in depth discussions about data privacy, cybersecurity, eDiscovery, and tech innovations with heavy hitters in the industry. 

Along with co-hosts Laura Milstein and Gabi Schulte, Andrew discussed everything from AI in speech translation to Waverly Labs history and why we’re now tackling the professional market. The episode even includes an on-air test of the Ambassador Interpreter! 

Check out the full episode here.

In Listen Mode, you can now select which mic to use to pick up voices, increasing the range and accuracy. Prior to the update, the Ambassador Interpreter mics picked up voices in about a 6 ft. range of the Ambassador Interpreter. 

By selecting an external mic, you can move it about 30 ft. away from the Ambassador Interpreter unit (the length of a bluetooth connection) and still pick up voices within 2–3 ft. of your external mic. This effectively increases the range of Listen Mode to over 32 ft.—a 5x improvement! Just in time for travel restrictions to lift and for you to tour your new international office in person (finally).

It’s finally here! The ability to save and export your conversations is at your fingertips—whether you want to share them as meeting notes or keep them for your own records, now you can with transcripts.

It’s been almost two months since we officially set up our first US-based warehouse in Utah! Bringing our products stateside (where most of our customers are located) allows us to provide faster shipping times at a lower cost. We began shipping from there in late March and we’re happy to report things have been going very smoothly thus far!

Another positive review for the Ambassador Interpreter! This time from Eileen Brown at ZDNet, who was particularly impressed by the over-the-ear design that is not only hygienic when sharing, but also accessible as it allows use with a hearing aid device. And, of course, she highlighted the fast and accurate translations.

Although the Ambassador Interpreter is designed for professionals, that doesn’t mean it won’t come in handy in all sorts of situations. We love this review from a customer who used it to help with family interactions.

So this weekend, whether you’re speaking to a mother of someone you love, your own, or you’re a mother yourself, we hope you’ll help us wish all the mothers out there:

Happy Mother’s Day!

Feliz Dia das Mães!

Bonnes Fêtes des Mères!

С днем матери!

¡Feliz Día de la Madre!

We’re thrilled to have been named a Staff Pick for Translation Headphones by International Business Times! Here’s what they said:

“Waverly Labs' Ambassador Interpreter is at the forefront of consumer personal translator, getting many things right including it's form factor, it's various translation modes and how fast it responds to speech. If you're needing a personal interpreter at your next business meeting and want something more professional than what your mobile phone can do, I recommend the Ambassador Interpreter over other devices that are on the market.”

In preparation for kicking-off a new digital ads campaign, we created two brand new promo videos—a 15 second and 30 second spot. This is just the first step in refreshing our creative assets to showcase all the Ambassador Interpreter can do for professionals. Check them out here and here!

Our engineers have been hard at work (as always) finding ways to improve the Ambassador app. Here are some of the highlights:

• When exiting a session (in Converse, Listen, and Lecture mode), you’ll now be prompted to confirm you want to leave. This is to ensure that you don’t accidentally end a session and lose all the text from that conversation. A simple change to give you peace of mind—love to see it!

• You can now switch the language direction from within Listen and Lecture modes, making it easier to to change languages on the fly! No need to exit the current conversation and start all over again in a new language. 

• The Ambassador app is now more accessible with improvements allowing VoiceOver users to navigate the app more easily, and the ability to control text size directly in the navigation bar without leaving Converse mode.

What’s up next? We’re actively working on the ability to save and export transcripts and the return of continuous conversation mode. More details coming soon!

The reviews are in and we couldn’t be more excited! The pandemic has certainly come with its challenges, one of which was getting reviews. Due to social distancing and lockdown orders, unless the reviewer had someone who spoke a different language in their household, they couldn’t test the Ambassador Interpreter. But as the world slowly opens up, the reviews are beginning to trickle in—and we’re very pleased with what they’re saying.

Here are two of the most recent ones:

• [iMore] Waverly Labs Ambassador Interpreter Review: The world just got smaller

• [Lifewire] English Only? Use Translation Gadgets to Speak Different Languages

We officially raised over $1MM! Thank you for your continued support! Whether it was investing, buying the Ambassador, or just sharing with friends and colleagues—we couldn’t have done it without you.

We’ve had a busy month, including hiring a new VP of Marketing & Communications, Brisa Freitas. Her years of experience in marketing consumer electronics will be pivotal in continuing to expand our reach. It also means that with someone dedicated to our communications strategy, we’ll be providing updates much more often.

Stay tuned—we have exciting news to share next week!

All the best,

The Waverly Labs Team!

Hi everyone,

We’re nearing the $1MM milestone after just six weeks of our Reg A+ offering being live, and that is a great pace to be as we begin scaling up our production. Welcome to our new shareholders and investors!

This week, we are excited to share some product updates we rolled out in February:

• Developed new features, such as:
  • Increased the standby time, improved battery life, and implemented the new video tutorials inside the app.
• Made some UI/UX changes, including:
  • Removing the “host” logic so users can more quickly setup a conversation, and now device settings are saved in the smartphone / tablet for quicker setup.
• And, established a roadmap for future product features: 
  • Re-implement “continuous” mode, release our firmware update with increased speech recognition accuracy, add saved transcripts, remote conferencing, and digital audio (TV, film) translation.

We also released a long list of improvements to the translated languages. First, we’ve added missing dialects and genders to the voice models for:

• English: Great Britain, Australian, Canadian, Indian, Irish
• Spanish: American, Mexican, Latin American
• French: Canadian
• Arabic: Egyptian
• Portuguese: Brazilian
• Korean: added male voice
• Hebrew: added female voice
• Thai: added female voice
• Vietnamese: added female voice
• Greek: added female voice

Secondly, we made major improvements to some of the speech synthesis models, so you hear more naturally sounding voices! By using neural text-to-speech, these voices should be nearly indistinguishable from human speech:

• Hindi: male / female
• Chinese: Mandarin (male / female), Cantonese (male / female)
• Hebrew: male / female
• Thai: male / female
• Vietnamese: male / female
• Arabic: male
• Greek: male / female
• French: Canadian (male)

And lastly, we updated the Portuguese translation model to distinguish between different dialects of Portuguese (Portugal vs Brazil).

It was a busy month! You can read the full details here: https://www.waverlylabs.com/blog/february-2021-ambassador-update

Thanks everyone for becoming a part of our journey. We’ll keep you updated on things to come.

All the best,

In late Q3 2020, we entered production for our new flagship product, Ambassador Interpreter, after nearly two years of engineering and patenting.

We are happy to report we are already seeing early signs of success. In Q4 2020, we saw our sales increase by about 40% compared to Q3 2020, and in just a few months since production began we’ve hit over $374,000 in gross sales, with lifetime cumulative gross sales of nearly $1.1MM!

Now, we're starting to see customer sales inquiries compound as organizations have begun contacting us for larger order requests, with a lot of interest from education, healthcare, and various small businesses across the spectrum of industry.

It was a fantastic end to a tumultuous year, and we're just getting started! We’re moving fast!

Hi everyone,

It's great to see this many people have already made reservations for our biggest investment campaign. We haven't even begun taking investments and the response has already been fantastic.

Once we begin taking investments, we plan to quickly begin ramping up production and staffing as we move from seed to growth stage ahead of 2021. The response for Ambassador Interpreter has been incredible so far - in a matter of weeks we already sold out of the first batch of a few thousand units, our Q4 sales over Q3 have increased over 51%, and we've not even done with the quarter! We quickly went back into production for the next batch of units which will be ready in a couple of weeks, and we have more information coming soon so make sure to stay tuned.
