It's not a huge deal but the name "DeepL Voice" makes it sound more like an AI voice translation and dubbing tool.



I absolutely thought that is was dubbing after watching the video and not paying close attention. This seems like 2010s tech and my expectations in 2024 are so much higher.


Actually, the word “voice” makes one think of mouth and throat associations, so “DeepL Voice” makes a lot of Americans think dirty thoughts for a second as they try to make sense of what the L stands for.

I am sure the branding people have considered this?


That's a bit of a stretch, isn't it?


If you came up to 10 Gen Z or Millennials and showed them "DeepL Voice" as the name of a new product, ask them what their first associations were.
