Face-to-face translation has to carry the conversation in both directions. The person without glasses needs a way to understand the reply just as the wearer needs to follow the incoming speech.
RayNeo iO supports both directions of a face-to-face conversation through one pair of glasses and a paired phone. The wearer reads the other person's translated speech on the lenses. The conversation partner reads the wearer's translated reply on the phone, or listens to it through phone voice playback.
That division makes the setup accessible to someone who has never used smart glasses. They take part through a familiar screen while the wearer keeps the incoming translation near their line of sight, one of the everyday strengths of smart glasses with a display.
One conversation, two places to read
The live translation feature sits inside Live Captions. With Translation enabled and both languages selected, the two displays serve different participants rather than simply duplicating the same screen.
RayNeo iO shows incoming translation on its display, and spoken replies in this workflow come from the phone. The microphone array and bone-conduction sensor handle audio input.
The partner needs no glasses of their own. A phone placed where they can read it is all the setup their side requires.
Pairing and setup for two-way translation
Live Captions supports multilingual conversation, with Chinese-English as one example. The language selectors in Live Captions settings show the choices for each speaker.
Pair iO over Bluetooth with the RayNeo AI app for iPhone or Android. In online Live Captions, the glasses' microphones pick up speech and the phone shows the outward-facing reply.
Setup takes four steps:
- Launch Live Captions from the glasses' App List or the RayNeo AI app.
- Open Live Captions settings and enable Translation.
- Set the languages used by both speakers.
- Give the other participant a clear view of the phone for translated replies.
A quick greeting is a natural way to start, with each person settling into their own view before the longer explanations begin.
The conversation remains face to face, with each display acting as a reading aid rather than the focus of every moment.
Spoken replies through phone playback
Either participant can tap the play button on the phone to hear the translated response aloud. Once the translated reply finishes playing, the next person speaks, which gives the conversation clear, natural turns.
In a quiet office, reading the phone is often enough. In a service interaction where the partner cannot easily lean toward the display, phone playback brings the reply to them.
Live Calibration for incoming text
Live Calibration is the text-update setting within Live Captions Translation settings. On provides word-by-word updates as speech develops, so the wearer begins seeing the reply sooner. Off presents the translation after recognizing a complete sentence, giving it a steadier layout.
A brief exchange feels natural with incremental updates, and a longer explanation reads well as a complete sentence. The setting follows reading preference and the structure of the conversation.
Voice filtering and caption review
Live Captions prioritizes the other person's speech and filters the wearer's voice from the caption view. That filtering applies to the lenses only; the wearer's reply is still translated on the phone for the partner. The two participants can face each other, with the phone positioned so the partner can read it.
The wearer can also rotate the Smart Crown, the control wheel on the frame, during a session to revisit previous captions. After a short pause, the display returns to the ongoing conversation. That makes a recent phrase available again without ending the session.
Saved records in Sessions
After translation ends, the original and translated text are saved side by side with speaker-labeled conversation bubbles. The Sessions section in the RayNeo AI app provides access to the record, summaries, and sharing tools, ready for a booking note, a meeting follow-up, or a message to someone else.
Questions about two-way translation
What hardware does a two-way conversation need?
One pair of iO glasses and a paired phone. One person wears iO, and the other follows the translated reply on the phone, with optional phone audio playback.
Can the wearer look back at something said earlier?
Rotating the Smart Crown during the session brings back previous captions, and the view returns to the live exchange after a short pause.
How do turns work when phone playback is used?
The translated reply plays from the phone, and the next person speaks once it finishes. Clear turns like this keep both directions of the conversation easy to follow.
The result is a conversation with a defined route in each direction: incoming speech on the lenses, outgoing translation on the phone, and natural turn-taking when spoken playback is used.
