Akool Live Camera can translate video calls in real time, swap faces, and get live virtual avatars to mimic human movements

Akool Live Camera uses AI to capture human movement and mimic that movement with a generated virtual avatar in real time.

Akool can also translate speech in real time during a virtual meeting and also provide instant face swapping during a call. The AI technology listens to conversations in one language and instantly translates them into the selected target language, providing real-time, synchronized audio that matches the avatar’s lip movements and facial expressions.
