Horizon: A serverless voice translator built with Gemini and ElevenLabs

Original: Horizon: A Shelved App Idea I Finally Built Before Breakfast

Short summary

A developer built Horizon, a live voice translator web app using Gemini for translation and ElevenLabs for speech synthesis, deployed entirely on Vercel with no backend server. The app uses client-side Silero VAD for automatic utterance detection and falls back to hold-to-talk if the model can't load. The post includes architecture details, a live demo link, and full GitHub source.

  • Horizon: live voice translator using Gemini + ElevenLabs on Vercel serverless
