Information obtained by Business Insider Africa shows that not only does Click enable users to converse efficiently in nearly forty languages, it also allows them to call, text, and read notifications from their devices.

​

MyManu, the company that makes Click uses its unique operating system to make all these possible. The OS even makes text-to-speech and speech-to-text possible. Users could communicate with nearly two billion people around the world. And they do not need to be connected to the internet before they can use the device. Instead, the wireless Bluetooth earbuds can sync with smartphones, enabling the earbuds to learn the language being spoken whilst providing instant translations to the person listening.

 

On his personal website, Danny describes himself as "a very ambitious, hard-working engineer who strives to develop life-changing solutions to improve people’s life". We think this is the absolute best way anyone could ever describe him. After all, his translation earbuds are nothing but life-changing.

​

Note that Danny is an engineer who was born in the United Kingdom to Ghanaian parents. He studied at Oxford Brookes University and had previously worked at Quanta Networks Inc. and MEDYBIRD before establishing MyManu in 2014. He has background in music and earth and was recently recognised by Google for his contributions to science, arts and culture.
