Babelverse Lands Seed Round Led By 500 Startups For Human-Powered Online Translation

Screen Shot 2012-09-08 at 4.00.13 PMBabelverse, the language translation startup that landed the title of "Audience Choice" at Disrupt NYC this past May, has raised a seed round led by 500 Startups along with a group of other angel investors.Babelverse's online marketplace provides speech translation services in close to real-time through a worldwide network of human interpreters. Today, Babelverse co-founders Josef Dunne and Mayel de Borniol tell me, its team of nearly 4,000 interpreters spans more than 100 countries and currently covers 642 languages (seriously, I am not sure that I knew there were that many.) We at TechCrunch are actually using Babelverse to translate the live webcast of next week's Disrupt SF conference into 12 languages.
