Common questions
Which models work without a phone app?
The X1 AI Interpreter Hub and NEW T1 are standalone devices. W4 Pro, W4, and M3 use the Timekettle app on a compatible iPhone or Android phone.
Do I need internet for translation?
Internet gives you the widest language choice and access to online features. You can use downloaded offline translation for supported language pairs and modes. X1 needs Wi-Fi or a phone hotspot for online translation. NEW T1 can use supported mobile data, Wi-Fi, or a phone hotspot. W4 Pro, W4, and M3 normally use the connected phone's internet.
Does every language work offline?
No. Offline translation covers a smaller set of language pairs. The model, bundle, downloaded packs, and translation mode all matter. Download and test the needed pack before travel. See the supported languages guide for the current sets.
Is a subscription required?
Normal W4 One-on-One and Listen & Play use does not require the optional Unlimited Plan. Some W4 app features, including supported media, voice-call, and recap features, can require a paid plan. X1, W4 Pro, NEW T1, and M3 do not list a general subscription for their normal translation modes, but language-pack or mobile-data charges can still apply. Current app and service pricing is controlled by Timekettle and can change.
What does an accent count mean?
An accent is a regional speech-recognition option within a language. It is not an additional translation language. For example, English can include regional choices that help the device understand different speech patterns.
Can I use Timekettle for calls or online meetings?
W4 Pro is the Dateck option designed for supported calls, media, and online meetings in addition to face-to-face use. These modes need internet, and compatibility can depend on the phone, operating system, app, and calling platform. W4 also lists optional paid call and media features for supported iOS use. Confirm your exact platform with Dateck before ordering for a critical workflow.
Can two people hear private translations?
Earbud models let each participant hear translated speech through an earbud in supported conversation modes. The handheld NEW T1 uses its speaker and screen. The X1 hub supports several ways to organize individual and group conversations.

Questions by model
X1 AI Interpreter Hub
Is the X1 app-free?
Yes. Dateck's X1 AI Interpreter Hub is a standalone model. It does not need the Timekettle app for normal use. Connect the hub to Wi-Fi or a phone hotspot when you want online translation.
Which X1 facts apply to Dateck's model?
Dateck's current X1 AI Interpreter Hub supports 43 online languages and 96 accents. It is different from the newer X1 Meeting model shown in some current manufacturer materials. X1 Meeting specifications should not be used for the Dateck X1 listing.
What can X1 do offline?
X1 supports 13 offline language pairs. Offline use is limited to One-on-One and Listen & Play modes.
W4 Pro
What phone does W4 Pro need?
W4 Pro uses one compatible iPhone or Android phone running the current Timekettle app. The current app listing requires iOS 15 or later, or Android 9 or later. Compatibility can vary by phone.
Does W4 Pro work offline?
One-on-One and Listen & Play can use downloaded offline translation for supported pairs. Media Translation requires internet. Included offline downloads or credits depend on the purchased bundle and current Timekettle app terms.
W4
What phone does W4 need?
Use W4 with the current Timekettle app on iOS 15 or later, or Android 10 or later. Turn on Bluetooth and allow the app to use the microphone.
Which W4 features may cost extra?
One-on-One and Listen & Play remain the normal included modes. Timekettle currently lists an optional Unlimited Plan for supported Multi-Media Translation, Voice Call Translation, and AI Realtime Recap features. Availability can depend on iOS, the app version, and the feature.
NEW T1
Does NEW T1 include mobile data?
NEW T1 includes up to 24 months of supported cellular data beginning at activation and only in supported countries. After that period, you can use Wi-Fi or a phone hotspot, or purchase a data renewal through the device if offered. Renewal pricing is controlled by Timekettle and may change.
Does NEW T1 translate photos?
Yes. Photo translation uses a separate set of 39 supported languages. It is not the same as the 52-language online voice-translation set.
M3
Do all M3 packages include offline translation?
No. Timekettle offers online-only and online-plus-offline versions. The offline-capable bundle supports the shared 13-pair set, but the included redemption currently covers six offline packs. Check the exact Dateck variant before ordering.
Can M3 also play music and calls?
M3 is designed as a three-in-one earbud for translation, music, and phone audio. Translation setup still requires the Timekettle app and a compatible phone.
