Beyond Barriers. Beyond Words. Beyond What’s Possible.

We help the world speak as one

Cast your mind back to 2008. What did technology look like then? Movie nights began with the glow of a DVD menu. Finding the right song meant untangling wired earphones first. Smartphones were just emerging, and social media hadn’t yet become a second reality.

Today, it all feels like second nature—because someone, at some point, had that one good idea. And then refused to give up.

The vision that propels us forward

The story of Vasco began with a simple yet ambitious question: How can we help the world speak with one voice? Breaking language barriers required more than technology—it demanded the courage to pursue an idea long before the world was ready for it. The paths we chose years ago soon became the direction of the entire industry. And ever since, we’ve continued to push the limits of communication—one revolution at a time.

Do voice, text, or photo translations feel obvious today? To us, that’s the highest form of recognition.

From past breakthroughs to future revolutions

One innovation after another

Every breakthrough starts the same way: idea, challenge, solution. When an obstacle seemed impossible, we reminded ourselves why we began. And then we watched another barrier fall—word by word.

Perhaps it’s because the challenge was so demanding that it deserved our full attention.

Turning words into action

Maciej Góralski founded a company that began with language-learning flashcards and early translation devices. In partnership with BBC World Service, they also developed audio language courses. But even then, something much bigger was already taking shape.

…then leave them behind. We launched our first online shop. Selling existing devices wasn’t the goal; understanding real user needs was. It became the first step towards creating a translator of our own.

But they do confirm we're on the right path.

Revolutions made real

Shaping the future of technology.

Voice Cloning

Sound like yourself in any language. From Japanese to Arabic or Spanish, this technology creates a digital version of your voice from a short recording—so every translation sounds natural, personal, and unmistakably yours.

Free unlimited Internet

We were the first—and we’re still the only ones. With Vasco you can enjoy unlimited Internet in nearly 200 countries, activated the moment you land. Built-in SIM card included, with no limits, and no expiry date.

Phone Call Translation

The ability to translate phone calls in dozens of languages can genuinely simplify life. Whether you’re changing a hotel booking, calling for roadside help, or speaking with an international client, communication is always within reach.

Automatic Mode

Vasco automatically identifies the other person's words and begins translating. It's the ideal solution for those with their hands occupied—or anyone who simply wants to converse without thinking about the device.

Media about us

One of the most impressive demos I had at CES 2024 was with the team of the Vasco Translator E1, an earpiece that uses AI and an app to translate 49 languages in real time.

Vasco wants the translation tools to meet the needs of customers who travel regularly, as well as those who are ex-pats, working in international teams or are in families that have language barriers due to relatives being from different countries.

You can literally travel the world and ues this device and get around and not feel lost in a country.

This language translation device is my life raft while living abroad. It allows for a near-seamless back-and-forth conversation.

Whereas most translator use a single engine, Vasco’s devices use 12 translation engines, with Vasco employing a team of linguists whose job it is to ensure everything links up.

I think Vasco is the best of the bunch because it comes with unlimited lifetime data (no need to find Wi-Fi!) and translates 108 languages in 200 different countries.

Now HIPAA-compliant, Vasco’s handheld translation devices can provide up to 108 language translations that are secure, making them safe to use in any healthcare facility by any healthcare professional to break down language barriers between patients and medical personnel.

Vasco’s innovative technology allows users to communicate with one another through its translators, connecting 90% of the world’s population through the power of language.

The Vasco Translator V4 offers reliable voice translation, speedy photo translation, and free lifetime global coverage in a pocket-sized package that’s perfect for your next holiday or business trip.

Vasco Assistant

A new era of understanding. Powered by AI, Vasco Assistant goes beyond translation—it explains. From decoding what “pad kra pao” really means on a Thai menu to clarifying whether “jayus” in Indonesian is the equivalent of a “dad joke”. It understands cultural context, idioms, cuisine, symbols, and everyday nuances—bridging not just languages, but meaning.
